Street Parking Space Savers

The first photo is from 2010. What they called Snowmageddon.

STREET PARKING PLACEHOLDER

Street Parking Space Savers- revisiting Snowmageddon 2010. Many people are experiencing more snow right now. So is it a Pittsburgh thing? You see all kinds of chairs reserving parking spaces all around the city after someone has shoveled out their space, planning to return to it, later.
I’ve seen a port-a-crib to reserve a parking space!

And here’s the update on our 2026 snow. Thursday the fourth day that school is cancelled.

Not a Sing Along- Handel’s Messiah at Heinz Hall

Downtown was chilly but bustling
a single performance of Handel’s Messiah was Sold Out! Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Mendelssohn Choir were stellar!
The Heinz Hall tree was impressive
Good friends
About a ten minute standing ovation for the musicians and choir. Bravo!
A closer look at the tree
Holiday cheer prior to the performance .
One of our group couldn’t attend cause she’s in Sydney ❤️l

Soup or Gravy? No!

When you hear or read the word ladle what comes to mind?

I was downtown Pittsburgh with my friend Jen and we saw this huge LADLE! We’d never seen it before.

Yes, ladle.

But not a soup ladle and not a gravy ladle.

Did we stand next to it to give you a sense of proportion? No we did not.

This ladle could pour 105 tons of molten metal!
Going to be installed in the
Heinz History Center
