Next to St. Stanislaus in the Strip District Pittsburgh
I’d just left the coffee shop around the corner when I saw this plaque and Memorial Garden. It’s been awhile since I walked around in the Strip District. I was walking by St. Stanislaus Church (St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish was founded in 1875 as the first ethnic Polish parish in the Diocese of Pittsburgh…) and I stopped to read this tribute. Made me think.
I thought it was a great question to find the answer to.

Robot Hall of Fame at Carnegie Science Center
A couple of weeks ago Jack was here on Spring Break snd I took a photo of him with favorite robots C-3PO and R2D2.
When the family visited last week, Laura, Charlie and I went to the Carnegie Science Center. Charlie was eager to get to Roboworld to see R2-D2 and C-3PO
Carnegie Science Center has moved the robots to the Rangos Theatre lobby here’s an article about the change.
I knit Charlie a robot a couple years ago. Clinky. He likes robots.
As predicted, more to come
This is the view from the front.
Good soup, hot tea and knitting weather. Not good if you have to be out on the road.
Under the Bridge
Homestead Grays Bridge, built in 1936, was formerly called the Homestead High Level Bridge. I Pulled into a parking space to shoot the underbelly Wednesday night. The blue light against the night sky. The bridge spans the Monongahela River but this part is over the Waterfront shopping area.
“It is notable as the first bridge to incorporate the Wichert Truss, which uses a quadrilateral shape over each support, into its design. This made the truss statically determinate, so that forces in the structural members could be calculated.” Wikipedia
A 2017 blog post I did of bridges going over the Monongahela shows a different view of this same bridge.
