After 153 years in business, McCabe Brothers had to cease operations. (Article) and now the Shadyside building on Walnut Street, has been demolished.
I was surprised at school pick up Friday afternoon that McCabe Brothers Funeral Home was totally demolished.
New Year’s Day-
I’d met a friend for breakfast at The Oaklander Hotel. On my way home I was talking to another friend (hands free) and I said Whoa, I have to pull over, get out of my car and photograph the first abandoned furniture of the new year.
It was exciting.
This color image seemed to want to be edited to black and white. I pulled over to the curb to catch it through the car windshield so that’s a bit of a filter already.
I was on my way to meet a friend for lunch in the Shadyside neighborhood. I’d parked on Elmer Street and walked up Urn Way.
Look what I found on my way to Walnut Street.
A mural, Aqua Boogie, by artist Matt Spahr.
My friend Jen is friends with him and we walked around the corner, after coffee so she could show me his work.
Brightening the urban landscape with colorful art!
Wednesday afternoon in Shadyside on Walnut Street.
The colors in the Ten Toes Shoe Store window caught my attention as we were making our way to the Shadyside Variety Store.
Meet Rezgar Mamandi who hand paints the beautiful pottery and tiles you see in the photographs below.
Manna Pottery was at Shadyside.. the Arts Festival on Walnut Street on Saturday.

These bright colors caught my eye as I walked by the storefront of La Feria on Walnut Street.
It’s a restaurant too.
