For the first time in 15 years, Center City increased its share of regional office space. Healthcare and educational institutions continued to attract students, patients and research dollars to downtown, while elementary schools experienced strong demand from the growing number of families in Center City with children. The Pennsylvania Convention Center expansion commenced and plans advanced for new hotels, as occupancy and room rates steadily climbed. On Independence Mall, the National Museum of American Jewish History started construction, while the Barnes Foundation retained designers for a new home on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Housing prices remained strong, rents steadily climbed and rental vacancy rates dropped to 4.6%, as new residents continued to flock to Center City. While the average condo sold for $428,596, 115 units sold in 2007 for more than $1 million, double the number in 2006.

  • PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014

    PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014

    PRIMITIVE CAMPING in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests 11/2014 What is Primitive Camping? Primitive camping is a simplistic style of camping. Campers hike, pedal or paddle to reach a location and spend the night without the presence of developed facilities. This primitive camping experience takes place off the beaten path, where piped water, restrooms and other amenities are not provided. You pack in all you need, exchanging a few conveniences for the solitude found in the back country setting. Fresh air, fewer people and out-of-the-way natural landscapes are some of the benefits of primitive camping. Once off the beaten path, however, additional advantages begin to surface such as a deeper awareness and greater appreciation of the outdoor world around you. Primitive camping also builds outdoor skills and fosters a gratifying sense of self-sufficiency. Where to Camp Pennsylvania has 2.2 million acres of state forest land with 2,500 miles of trails and 5,132 miles of Camping at rivers and streams winding through it. Hiking, biking and multi-use trails traverse most state forest districts and six districts have designated water trails that transect state forest land. Forest Districts State parks are not open to primitive camping. However, with the exception of William Penn State Forest, all state forest districts are open to this activity. Camping is not permitted in designated STATE FOREST DISTRICTS: natural areas or at vistas, trail heads, picnic areas and areas that are posted closed to camping. Bald Eagle State Forest (570) 922-3344 Contact a forest district office for specific information, maps and Camping Permits (if needed).

    FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020

    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

After the meeting minutes were unanimously approved, Lou announced that the rest of the meeting would be dedicated to a presentation by Athletic Director Steve Pederson. Lou then turned the meeting over to Steve. Athletic Department Review – Athletic Director Steve Pederson Steve began his presentation by noting that instead of the regular update on Fall sport seasons, he would instead present to the group an review of the past twelve years in University of Pittsburgh Panther athletics. Steve emphasized that the theme of the Athletic Department is “Only Big Dreams”, and noted the department’s mission to develop the best overall athletic program in the Big East Conference with an attitude that reflects the values of our University, the City of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. Within the athletic department’s mission is a philosophy that while athletics is not the most important function on campus, it is important to the University’s mission, and therefore is an important part of the University community.
