Pittsburgh Terror Trolley.

I’m still keeping with my Halloween spirit. FYI: “Hocus Pocus” was on ABC Family last night, and despite knowing all the punchlines, I still adore it. I haven’t caught “Halloweentown” yet though. Molly’s Trolleys is a Pittsburgh trolley tour company that started int 1995. The company offers the regular sight seeing tours, weddings, and more, but what I’m interested in is the Pittsburgh Terror Trolley. 

Pittsburgh gems: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, First Presbyterian Church and Franktuary.

This week I interviewed two Pittsburgh college students about things they like to do around the city, which is found above. Each student mentioned attractions that Pittsburghers might take for granted. One student mentioned the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, First Presbyterian Church and the graveyard located around the two as places to check out in Pittsburgh. They’re located right on Sixth Ave. in Dahntahn; you cannot miss them.

Review of eatPGH.

Looking for new places to eat around the ‘burgh? eatPGH is a blog dedicated almost solely to Pittsburgh food. The blog has also

started to reach out to neighboring cities. eatPGH is run by four local women who have a love for food, especially in Pittsburgh.

Excluding other cities, the blog is divided into eight sections: the east, the west, the north, the south, dahntahn, events and recipes. The sections do just what they say. Each of the directional sections make it easier for readers to find a restaurant in the area they want of the city. Once a section is chosen, readers can choose by looking at the picture of a dish, or the name of the restaurant, event or recipe.

More for fall.

Celebrating fall with some pumpkin pie cheesecake.

Despite hating the change from tank tops to sweaters, I’m a fall junkie. What I consider to be fall weather is gorgeous, and so is the changing of the leaves. (not this 30 degree stuff at night) Fall is the last hoorah of enjoying the outdoors for the year in my book. If my apartment building let me, I’d make my hallway into a mini halloween attraction. That’ll never happen, so I’ll settle for doing another list of things to do for the fall/Halloween in Pittsburgh.

Warhol.

The Andy Warhol Museum, located conveniently right across the Andy Warhol Bridge (117 Sandusky St. to be exact), is offering half-priced admission on Fridays from 5-1o p.m. as part of an event called Good Fridays. There will also be a cash bar for guest over 21. According to the museum’s website, many of the Fridays also feature special programs that include music, film and performances. The Warhol has collections of drawings, prints, photographs, film and more from the artist from the 1940s until the 1980s. Visitors are also able to learn about the life of the artist.

Still time to catch something RADical.

RADical Days is an annual event, which lasts around three weeks. Each day Pittsburghers are given the chance to go to many places around Pittsburgh including museums, parks, theaters and sports stadiums all for free. This year’s event will last until Oct. 13, so you still have time to take advantage of some of the things being offered. RAD (Allegheny Regional Asset District) uses local sales tax money to grants in order to “create a positive impact on the lives of residents of and visitors to Allegheny County.” The organization funds many organizations that you hear around the city including libraries, museums, theaters, cultural centers, wildlife centers, and parks. According to the organization’s website, RADical Days is a thank you to those who support RAD.
