To be part of the solution
For the past eight months, my partner and I have been asking ourselves the question, “What if?” We wanted to imagine a world that exists on the other side of the problems in which our city is currently engulfed; we saw a Pittsburgh with a vibrant economy, a world-class transit system, a dynamic cultural […]

All things must pass…
Hey everyone! You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting lately. The truth is, I really love this blog and I haven’t been able to devote the attention to it that it deserves.

So after I graduate…then what?
No more health insurance?
No more free gym?
No more papers!!!!!
A job? Like…a real job?
Holy crap…
There’s a job fair going on next week–I already told a couple people that I wasn’t […]

New blog on the block
Just read a post over at a new local blog, Christina Speaks, and it was a great example of one of my favorite parts about using public transportation in Pittsburgh–the people.
Of course, the people aren’t always great, but if you’ve been on a bus or in line at the grocery store in this town, you’ll […]
