The Eyes Have It

Eye sculptures!

We were downtown in the Cultural District on Wednesday night, thanks to a generous friend who shared tickets they were unable to use. And there we were, right by the eye benches and fountain. We’d just come out of the Theater Square Garage. We photographed the Eye Benches, sculpted by artist Louise Bourgeois.

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!

From the Archives

Kaufmann’s Department Store is long gone but the Kaufmann’s Clock installed in 1913 (click bold name for history) is an Historic Landmark in Downtown Pittsburgh.

Three Rivers Art Festival

Three Rivers Arts Festival is ten days long and is now located in the Cultural District. I went with my neighbor Sunday afternoon, on the last day. We walked around a couple of hours and headed for home when it looked like rain. I bought a cool dish towel with a screen print of a special Pittsburgh Landmark- a gift so not showing it yet.

Howl at the Moon on Seventh

Too early for nightlife

Right next door to the Rabbit Art installation. The lights and colors caught my eye.
