Pittsburgh, stop what you are doing and go watch this 1930s video showing every attraction at Kennywood including the Racer, Jack Rabbit and rides/attractions that aren't there anymore like the pool and athletic grounds. I nearly exploded from happiness. historicpittsburgh.org/islandora/obje…

Today, we stand in solemn remembrance with the families of David Rosenthal, Cecil Rosenthal, Richard Gottfried, Joyce Fienberg, Jerry Rabinowitz, Rose Mallinger, Irving Younger, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, Sylvan Simon, and Bernice Simon. May their memories be a blessing.

We have been hard at work building the Remains to be Seen app which will map out Pittsburgh's history for you and allow you to build walking/biking tours. As we gear up for beta testing, tell me what features you would most want. Give me your ideas and be specific, loves!

Didn't want this day to pass without naming the Tree of Life victims: Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil & David Rosenthal, Bernice & Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, Irving Younger. Much love to those who loved and lost them.

Reading this passage in an Auschwitz survivor’s book that is required reading for my current grad class was honestly so chilling this particular morning. Wow.

Absolutely bonkers if the city hired a police chief while telling him he could also work as a traveling NCAA basketball referee after one year. This isn’t Somerset; it’s a world-class city. That he even asked about eventually returning to reffing should’ve been a giant red flag.

In the tradition of dressing up as a hyper-local Pittsburgh lore & regional reference. I am the ghost of the Butthole Window on Penn Ave at Friendship Ave. #pittsburgh

In an epic feat of self-sabotage, I bought a 36-pack of my absolute favorite candy, Giant Chewy SweeTarts, and only one kid has taken a pack. It’s over for me 😭😭😭😭

Scirotto called his deal with Gainey re: returning to NCAA reffing after one year an incentived "man-to-man agreement," and therefore one the public didn't need to know about. The more details that come out, the worse both he and the mayor look. Fully embarrassing for the city.

I am just so very tired.

Loves, my account will be dormant. I make this personal decision because being here has increasingly felt like I'm part of something very ugly. I tell you this so if you'd like to know about my newsletter, novels, column, gift guides, projects, you can find me elsewhere. 💛🖤
