Live Arts in Pittsburgh You may have noticed, Pittsburgh isn’t all smoke and steel anymore. Visitors to Pittsburgh are discovering the countless treasures that lie within this great city. . . .

. . . Amazing chefs are setting up shop, outdoor enthusiasts are exploring Pittsburgh’s unique topography in a multitude of ways, from kayaks and bikes, to segways and scooters, and artists are using the entire city as their inspiration. One movement that has found a voice in Pittsburgh is live arts. By its very nature, live art is hard to define because of the varied nature of the work. At its core, it is work that broadly embraces time-based, 20

visual and performing arts events that include a human presence and broaden, challenge or question traditional views of the arts. Bricolage Production Company is at the forefront of live art in Pittsburgh. Their innovative DIY approach ranges from live performance in their intimate theater space on Liberty Avenue, to adventurous experiences within the urban landscape. In 2012, they mounted STRATA, an immersive urban theatrical
experience that blurred the lines between fiction and reality. It began on a street corner in downtown Pittsburgh and led the audience into a back alley, through a gray door in a red brick wall into a huge space with a labyrinth of rooms. Each room transported the audience into another world, where participant’s own decisions propelled them to the next experience, immersing their every sense with a mind-bending variety of highly designed installations and

Live Arts in Pittsburgh interactions. In the Fall of 2014, Bricolage will launch a new work in the ‘immersive’ genre with The Saints Tour. This live arts experience moves the audience through a classic Pittsburgh neighborhood, transforming the audience’s perspective as it excavates unknown secrets and the city’s quintessential sub rosa magic.
And be sure to check out Bricolage’s flagship smash-hit Midnight Radio Series: a live comedic variety show in the style of classic 1940s radio broadcasts featuring suspenseful action thrillers, vintage sound effects, musical guests, interactive game shows, commercial spoofs, and more. Performed in their intimate theater space, a former Turkish bathhouse at 937 Liberty Avenue, Midnight Radio’s sixth season runs October through December and will feature two episodes: a side-splitting parody of the Steven King classic novel Scarrie!

Musical!, and the holiday favorite ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ The rise of live art in Pittsburgh has also brought national arts organizations to Pittsburgh. In 2013, Americans for the Arts (AFTA) included a Legends of Pittsburgh tour at their national convention. This tour was woven into the architectural fabric of our urban landscape, taking the attendees on a journey from the convention center along the river and over the bridge to the Andy Warhol Museum. Along the approximate half-mile journey, conference attendees encountered many of Pittsburgh’s most heralded artists including August Wilson, Martha Graham and Andy Warhol.
Bricolage is not the only cultural gem downtown. For other innovative live arts offerings, check out the 900 block of Liberty Avenue. Head upstairs to Mahoney’s performance space ‘Little E’s’ and hear the best in Pittsburgh jazz, or over to Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre to catch a DIY production by a local playwright. Want something for your funny bone? Walk down the street to Arcade Comedy Theatre for the best in sketch comedy and local standup. For a funky look at art on the walls stop into the Toonseum and celebrate the art of cartooning by taking a hands-on workshop, or viewing the latest original exhibit. Or check out one of downtown’s numerous other art galleries, such as SPACE, Future Tenant,

For more than 116 years, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra has been an essential part of Pittsburgh’s cultural landscape. The Pittsburgh Symphony, known for its artistic excellence, is credited with a rich history of the world’s finest conductors and musicians, and a strong commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. This tradition was furthered in fall 2008, when Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck became music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony. With a long and distinguished history of touring both domestically and overseas since 1900, the Pittsburgh Symphony continues to be critically acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest orchestras.
With more than 36 international tours, including 20 European tours, eight trips to the Far East, and two to South America. The Pittsburgh Symphony was the first American orchestra to perform at the Vatican in January 2004 for the late Pope John Paul II, as part of the Pontiff ’s Silver Jubilee celebration. With an international reputation for grandeur and excellence as a concert hall and showplace, Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts is the home of the Pittsburgh Symphony. Dedicated in 1971 and renovated in 1995, Heinz Hall is the cornerstone of the Cultural District of Pittsburgh. This cultural-entertainment focal point of the Golden Triangle has helped spur the continuing economic and cultural revitalization of downtown Pittsburgh. The Hall is centrally located near Gateway Center, PPG Place, EQT Plaza and Fifth Avenue Place. The Cultural District offers many restaurants, hotels and parking facilities within easy walking distance to the Hall.
The structure evolved from its origin in 1927 as the Loew’s Penn Theater to its renovation and dedication as Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts in 1971--”a gift to the Pittsburgh Symphony Society from the Howard Heinz Endowment . . . to encourage, foster and perpetuate the performing arts in the Greater Pittsburgh area.” Each year more than a halfmillion patrons attend symphony concerts and other attractions, ranging from stand-up comedians to children’s concerts to national touring Broadway shows.

Children’s Museum Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh is a place that delights and inspires children, where they can take off on fantastic flights of imagination daily, and return to earth to hammer a nail, ink a silkscreen and weave on a loom.
Duquesne Incline The Duquesne Incline is one of those which follows very closely the tracks of an early coal hoist. Old newspapers indicate the existence of such a conveyance as early as 1854. Residents apparently referred to it as “Kirk Lewis’ incline” and located it on the present site of The Duquesne Incline’s Upper Station. Grandview Avenue was then the High Street, and the area was just beginning to be converted from farmland to homesites.

To keep Napoli a family run restaurant and be able to keep our long time employee’s, which are more like family, we had to come up with a plan. The plan actually came to us.

just a pizza shop serving pizza and hoagies on paper plates. Their children Nicole and Bobby were only 5 and 3 at the time. They spent many days sitting in the booth doing their homework and making animal figures out of pizza dough. In 1995 they decided to remodel the restaurant and add a bar and lounge area. Today the menu has been expanded using the finest products available. Daily the dough, sauces, and soups are made from scratch. Their children are now grown and are the third generation to operate the restaurant. Thanks to a very loyal clientele, the restaurant is still going strong.

Widely regarded as the best ballpark in America, PNC Park is the fifth home of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the team’s 128-year history. The ballpark officially opened its gates on April 9, 2001. Located on the banks of the North Shore with a picturesque backdrop of the Steel City, this classic-style ballpark embraces the progressiveness of Pittsburgh while saluting the spirit of early ballpark originals. Because of the ballpark’s intimate design, the highest seat is just 88 feet from the field, giving every fan in the park an ideal sight line. The left field bleacher area offers one of the most personal views in baseball, as the closest seat is just six feet off the playing surface. The right field wall is a standing tribute to Pirates legendary right fielder Roberto Clemente as it stands 21 feet tall -- the number Clemente famously wore throughout his career.
In addition to being home to 81 Pirates games each year, the ballpark has hosted major concerts such as Bruce Springsteen in 2003 that drew over 42,300 fans. Other top selling acts have performed stand alone shows at PNC Park, including the Rolling Stones and Pearl Jam, the Dave Mathews Band and Jimmy Buffett. PNC Park is also the perfect venue for planning a special event or private party. From weddings, corporate meetings and reunions, the park hosts more than 300 private events each year. PNC Park has a variety of indoor and outdoor areas to fit any request. For more information, visit pirates.com/pncparkevents. Tours of PNC Park are available from April through September, purchase tour tickets online at pirates.com/tours or at the PNC Park Main Ticket Window at the corner of Federal and General Robinson Streets.

National Aviary
estled near West Park on Pittsburgh’s North Side is the country’s National Aviary, home to 500 amazing birds representing 200 species. Opening its doors in 1952, America’s bird zoo is a treasure trove of avians. From tiny Gouldian Finch to the majestic Andean Condor, the Aviary gives a birds-eye view of the beauty of Mother Nature. A perfect place for families to visit, we offer a daily schedule to include both feedings and live shows, providing the best opportunities to see the most birds. Visitors will enjoy strolling through the exhibits trying to find the many different species in each open air exhibit. Each day, patrons can feed nectar to the Lories or meet birds that are being cared for in the state-of-the art hospital. Sixteen African Penguins are on exhibit in Penguin Point. This spacious open-air exhibit gives Aviary guests a 360-degree perspective of African penguins doing what penguins do best: waddling, squabbling, scaling rocks and gliding seamlessly through the water. Twice each afternoon, the penguins, many named for the Stanley Cup-winning Pittsburgh Penguins, are tossed a snack, consisting of a variety of fish such as anchovies, sardines, and capelin.
A Unique Pittsburgh Destination...
The Aviary has grown from simply presenting its collection in attractive settings to realizing its responsibility to celebrate, protect and preserve birds for the perpetuation of the web of life. For further information, visit www.Aviary.org or call 412.323.7235 Feedings also take place daily in the Tropical Forest exhibit, home to a wide variety of birds found in rainforests all over the world. Colorful turacos, graceful fairy bluebirds, and stately Victoria crowned pigeons frequently make appearances for a snack. In the Wetlands of the Americas exhibit, guests can volunteer to hold small fish or worms as our birds swoop in for a snack. This large exhibit is home to flamingos, ibises, spoonbills, and a large flock of Inca terns that prefer their fish as an “in-flight” meal! For a small donation, guests can also toss fish to two brown pelicans named Ralph and Dexter -these proceeds go to the care and feeding of the Aviary’s flock! Need a break from your avian adventure? Atria’s Kookaburra Kitchen provides a wide variety of dining options and daily specials, from home-made soups and fresh salads to sandwiches and kid-friendly meals. The newly refurbished Gift Shop offers an array of quality nature-themed gifts, art work, books, toys, and clothing.

hildren’s Museum of Pittsburgh is a place that delights and inspires children, where they can take off on fantastic flights of imagination daily, and return to earth to hammer a nail, ink a silkscreen and weave on a loom. Named one of the nation’s ten top children’s museums by Parents magazine in 2011, Children’s Museum Pittsburgh welcomes more than 275,000 visitors annually and provides tons of fun and loads of “real stuff ” for play and learning. Hands-on, interactive exhibit areas and include “The Studio,” “Theater,” “Nursery” and “Backyard.” In October 2011 the museum opened “MAKESHOP™” — an exhibit space where kids and adults can access real tools, processes and digital, physical materials to build and tinker and create exciting projects and cutting-edge media. Its newest permanent exhibit, “Waterplay”, opened in April 2013. The museum’s award-winning, three-story ‘Lantern’ building, opened in 2004, connects two historic buildings, Allegheny Post Office Building (c. 1898) and the Buhl Building (c. 1939). The Lantern building gets its name from a shimmering wind sculpture created by environmental artist Ned Kahn (Articulated Cloud). In 2006, the museum became a certified green building (Silver LEED) and was honored by the American Institute for Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The museum received the Rudy Bruner Award Goal Medal for Urban Excellence as America’s Top Urban Place in 2007 and in 2009 won the Institute of Museum and Library Services National Medal for Museum and Library Services.

Duquesne Incline
he Duquesne Incline is one of those which follows very closely the tracks of an early coal hoist. Old newspapers indicate the existence of such a conveyance as early as 1854. Residents apparently referred to it as “Kirk Lewis’ incline” and located it on the present site of The Duquesne Incline’s Upper Station. Grandview Avenue was then the High Street, and the area was just beginning to be converted from farmland to homesites. This pleasantly-situated acreage was an excellent area to absorb some of the expanding population of the city, but the problem of easy access was still to be solved. Although plans for a freight and passenger incline are known to have existed much earlier, financial backing was exceedingly hard to find--even the modest sum of $47,000--and actual construction was delayed. Eventually, of course, difficulties were overcome and the Incline was built. It was opened to the public May 20, 1877. The Duquesne Incline was the first Pittsburgh incline designed and built by Samuel Diescher, for Kirk Bigham and Associates. Mr. Diescher, an engineer, had become the country’s foremost builder of inclines. He was also to design and build most of those that followed. At the time of its public opening, it was one of four inclined planes serving the summit of Coal Hill, which later came to be known as Mount Washington. The Duquesne Incline was operated, from 1877 until 1962 by The Duquesne Inclined Plane Company. From 1964 until the present, the Incline has been operated by the Society for the Preservation of The Duquesne Heights Incline; it has been owned by the Port Authority of Allegheny County.

he Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is the region’s most popular cultural attraction and is one of only six public zoo/aquarium combinations in the country. Home to over 4,000 animals from all over the world, visitors can enjoy observing creatures from every continent in exhibits that replicate their stunning natural habitats. Our 77-acre park features beautiful foliage and a rolling terrain that makes the ambiance around every turn unique and exciting. See baby animals play, learn, and explore their worlds every day. Just born in the fall of 2012, our baby rhino loves to run, jump, and imitate her mother. Her adventures and playful demeanor are always an adorable sight to see. Our sea lion pup, who is also less than a year old, loves to splash, swim, and give mom kisses while mischievously interacting with the other sea lions. For the first time ever, a red panda is calling the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium home. She is a talented climber who enjoys scaling tree limbs with acrobatic agility and her adorable antics will warm your heart. You can also see elephant youngsters paling around in our heard or watch our playful polar bears go for a swim from below their pool in a 270 degree underwater view from our Water’s Edge exhibit. 2013 is especially exciting because we will be celebrating our 115th anniversary. You won’t want to miss special events and celebrations commemorating our history and our bright future of conservation, education, and exploration. These events, along with the usual Meet the Expert opportunities, and animal enrichment demonstrations make every trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium a fun and educational experience that creates lifelong connections to the natural world for people of all ages.

A taste of Pittsburgh F
rom the steel workers who turned a whole a meal into a sandwich to the younger generation enjoying the same tasty treats in a more relaxed, trendy atmosphere, Pittsburgh is alive with interesting dining options that mix the past with the present. The once “Steel City” is now a diverse, environmentally friendly locale that takes pride in its industrial past. Diners of today can enjoy eclectic dining options that celebrate the ethnicity of Pittsburgh’s interesting history. From pierogies and polenta to paella and pâté, you’ll discover the flavors of old-world cooking and experience nouveau cuisine. Beginning in early spring, area markets overflow with a variety of locally grown food. In the summer, everything from fresh strawberries to raspberries, to peaches and nectarines to tender young sweet corn and plump red tomatoes grace area restaurants’ tables. Autumn brings yet another season and a host of other area specialties. Outdoor markets lure visitors and Pittsburghers alike with dozens of varieties of apples, peppers, red beets, and more. You can find many local chefs first thing in the morning in The Strip District or any of the area’s outdoor markets picking out the best of the season and deciding on the day’s specials. High-quality meats, poultry, and dairy products are shipped in from area farmers creating a variety of local options. Fresh fish is delivered daily, making seafood options plentiful. At many of the area restaurants, you can smell the fresh baked goods as the hard-to-resist aroma wafts out of open doors and into the bustling streets. The variety of food selections and dining atmospheres are enough to satisfy any mood. You can enjoy delicious food and outstanding

Light fare with friends is always a favorite at one of South Side’s charming cafés. Head to “The Strip,” where industrial warehouses have been redone to create a bustling marketplace full of nightclubs, cafés, shops, and restaurants. A night of dancing, laughter, delicious food, and great fun is waiting to be had in Oakland. Relax, listen to jazz, and enjoy a delightful meal on the North Shore, while Downtown is not to be ignored with a variety of upscale restaurants that are convenient to many of Pittsburgh’s best attractions. For centuries, the rich agricultural history, temperate climate, fertile rolling farmlands, and ethnic traditions have dictated the eclectic cookery that is the region’s tradition. Italian bistros sit next to German and Irish breweries, as the sweet scents of French confectioneries mingle with the spicy odors of Polish cabbage rolls and sausages. Asian cuisine has had a huge influence on the area and has created some of Pittsburgh’s best restaurants. Sushi bars and Euro-Asian restaurants are scattered throughout the region.

A taste of Pittsburgh The variety of ethnicities combine to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience, as many ethnic traditions have mixed, creating an eclectic mix of cuisine that is showcased at many of the restaurants. Sandwiches stuffed with fresh meats, cheeses, coleslaw, French fries, and more are truly a Pittsburgh classic, as are fresh garden salads topped with the usual chicken or steak and the unusual piping hot fries. Pittsburgh Rare, meat charred on the outside and rare on the inside, is a delicacy enjoyed by many Pittsburghers. Sometimes known as the “birthplace of pop culture,” Pittsburgh has always carried a cutting edge vibe from its 78

museums to its many universities. With innovative casual eateries and upscale social small plates dining, the city has developed an active foodie scene on many levels. So, what makes a foodie? Foodies embrace the farm-to-table concept, seeking out the freshest ingredients to taste nature’s bounty. Foodies are also attracted to imaginative flavors and bold new ideas. From sweet-yet-savory treats to molecular gastronomy, Pittsburgh restaurants run the gambit of modern culinary trends. Most restaurants in the area recommend comfortable business-casual attire, with a few expecting a more formal dress. It is advisable to make a reservation at most restaurants, even if it is only a
day in advance. There is generally availability during the week, however, on weekend evenings, a reservation may be required some time in advance. Pittsburgh’s bustling nightlife has encouraged some restaurants to keep the kitchen open later. So, if a night of dancing has left you starving, check out the late night menu at one of many downtown hotspots. Some of the best dining can be found after dinner hours. With a rich and diverse history and brave, new ideas, the future of the Pittsburgh dining is bright. No matter what your palate desires, you are sure to find something wonderful on your dining adventures. So, grab your appetites and bon appetit!

Cranberry Township was founded in 1804 and named for the native wild cranberries growing along Brush Creek. Today, cranberry plants flourish in the gardens at the Municipal Center. The Cranberry Historical Society published a history of the Township in 1989. Cranberry enjoys a balanced economy. In addition to being a regional retail center with an easy commute from Pittsburgh, the heart of Cranberry’s local economy is its growing family of corporate, industrial and research organizations. Cranberry Township continues to grow. In 1870 the population was only 479 residents. In 1980 it grew to 11,000 and in 1990, the population was around 14,000. Currently, in 2014, it’s well over 30,000 and the population is forecasted to exceed 50,000 by 2030! One reason for the township’s tremendous growth is its location. Serving as the intersection of Interstate 76 (the Pennsylvania Turnpike) and 79 and Routes 19 and 228, the community is accessible from virtually anywhere. In addition, the completion of Interstate 279 in 1989 cut travel time to Pittsburgh to under half an hour. The Pittsburgh Penguins and UPMC are in the early stages of building a new practice facility to open in Cranberry near the PA 228/I-79 interchange. The UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex is expected to open by July 2015 and will be the Penguins regular practice facility, freeing up the Consol Energy Center for other events on days the Penguins aren’t scheduled to play Cranberry Township is one of the fastest-growing areas in the United States in both population and business. While many residential communities are being built, even more so are retail stores as the Cranberry Mall is becoming one of the busiest business centers in Pittsburgh. Landmarks of Greater Pittsburgh

n the late 1700s what was to become Monroeville was nothing more than a few scattered farms until around 1820, when a farmer from Virginia named Joel Monroe purchased a 125acre farm and moved here with his young family. The family were distant cousins of President James Monroe. In the more than 200 years that have passed, Monroeville has become a thriving suburban center of commerce and home to some 30,000 residents.

Fallingwater
Fallingwater is the name of a very special house that is built over a waterfall. Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s most famous architect, designed the house for his clients, the Kaufmann family. Fallingwater was built between 1936 and 1939. It instantly became famous, and today it is a National Historic Landmark.
W
hy is it so famous? It’s a house that doesn’t even appear to stand on solid ground, but instead stretches out over a 30’ waterfall. Originally buit for the Kaufman family, it captured everyone’s imagination when it was on the cover of Time magazine in 1938. The Kaufmanns were from Pittsburgh, PA. They owned Kaufmann’s Department Store, a very exciting and elegant place to shop in the 1930s. (Today, it is part of the Macy’s chain). Edgar Kaufmann and his wife, Liliane, had one son, Edgar jr. The Kaufmanns lived in the city, but like many other Pittsburghers, they loved to vacation in the mountains southeast of Pittsburgh. They could hike in the forest, swim and fish in the streams, go horseback riding, and do other outdoor activities. Scan to view our website www.fallingwater.org

P
lanning for what would become Southpointe began in the 1980s, as the Washington County Redevelopment Authority in partnership with the RIDC began to pursue a tract of land in Cecil Township that had been the site of the Western Center, a reform school and a state mental hospital. The property for the first phase, Southpointe I, was acquired in 1986, with construction beginning in 1993. The location was chosen because of its access to Interstate 79, its proximity to Pittsburgh and low tax rates By 2013, Southpointe I had become filled and the second phase, Southpointe II neared completion, with 800 acres across both. A third phase is planned for the other side of Interstate 79, to be called Cool Valley Industrial Park. Southpointe is also home to the IceoPlex at Southpointe, which is the m ain practice and training facility for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Since 2010 its golf course has hosted the PGA Tour event Mylan Classic.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Southpointe is a 589 acre suburban business park located in Cecil Township near Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, south of Pittsburgh. It is a familiar landmark along Interstate 79. It is home to many corporations, including Fortune 500 members CONSOL Energy and Mylan as well as ANSYS, Inc.. Since the development of the Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian region, Southpointe has also become home to many natural gas producers, including Range Resources, and other service companies related to the industry. 98
