  • 2019 State of Downtown Pittsburgh
    20 STATE OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH19 TABLE OF CONTENTS For the past eight years, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership has been pleased to produce the State of Downtown Pittsburgh Report. This annual compilation and data analysis allows us to benchmark our progress, both year over year and in comparison to peer cities. In this year’s report, several significant trends came to light helping us identify unmet needs and better understand opportunities for developing programs and initiatives in direct response to those challenges. Although improvements to the built environment are evident in nearly every corridor of the Golden Triangle, significant resources are also being channeled into office property interiors to meet the demands of 21st century companies and attract a talented workforce to Pittsburgh’s urban core. More than $300M has been invested in Downtown’s commercial office stock over the 4 ACCOLADES AND BY THE NUMBERS last five years – a successful strategy drawing new tenants to Downtown and ensuring that our iconic buildings will continue to accommodate expanding businesses and emerging start-ups. OFFICE, EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION Downtown experienced a 31% growth in residential population over the last ten years, a trend that will continue with the opening 6 of hundreds of new units over the next couple of years. Businesses, from small boutiques to Fortune 500 companies, continued to invest in the Golden Triangle in 2018 while Downtown welcomed a record number of visitors and new residents. HOUSING AND POPULATION 12 Development in Downtown is evolving and all of these investments combine to drive the economic vitality of the city, making Downtown’s thriving renaissance even more robust.

  • Double Burden: the Black Experience in Pittsburgh
    Double Burden: The Black Experience in Pittsburgh Laurence Glasco History Department University of Pittsburgh Scholarly studies of black Pittsburgh are numerous but uneven in their coverage. In the 1930s the Works Progress Administration (WPA) assembled a rich body of material on the social life, politics, and even folklore of the city's blacks. But the projected general history was never completed, and its unedited pages until recently lay forgotten in the state archives. The gap left by the lack of a general history, moreover, is not filled by specialized studies because these are uneven in their coverage. The nineteenth century, for example, has been especially neglected: the scholarly literature on that period consists of one article, one dissertation, and one undergraduate thesis, all of which focus on the antislavery movement of the Civil War era. The twentieth century, in contrast, has received considerable attention. The period between World War I and World War II has been especially well covered: over one hundred specialized studies--including fifty-six master's theses and dissertations--describe the adjustment problems of black migrants and the emergence of the Hill district as a predominantly black ghetto. The years following World War II also have interested scholars: more than fifty studies--primarily doctoral dissertations--examine the racial dimensions of poverty, segregation, and governmental efforts to alleviate those conditions. Finally, black Pittsburgh from approximately 1930 to 1980 has been visually well documented in the collection of Teenie Harris, a photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier whose 50,000 to 100,000 photographs rival those of New York's Vander Zee collection in portraying the texture of black urban life.

  • Whether You're a Hockey Fan Or Not, If You Grew up in Pittsburgh, The
    page 1 of 3 (Editorial Note: This was originally posted on ThePensandthepen.com. Whether you’re a hockey fan or not, if you grew up in Pittsburgh, the Civic Arena almost certainly resides in a special place within your memory. The shiny, stainless steel dome peeking out as you round the ramp to Center Ave., the aroma of popcorn that would hit you just as you crossed the threshold, and all of the historic events that took place within; there was always an electricity about it, no matter what the event was. It’s an iconic place that symbolizes Pittsburgh. It’s not flashy or Time’s Up. The Last Regular Season Game at Mellon Arena high-end. It is what it is; it’s utilitarian. It has done its job for 50 years, and it’s still cool in its own way. Now, after all of the history, after all of the memories, after all of the excitement and emotion that the concerts and hockey games, circuses and political events engendered beneath its dome, its fate is unknown. It sits there, fenced off, dark and silently looking towards its replacement: the bright, spacious, state-of-the-art Consol Energy Center (CEC). The two buildings couldn’t be any more different. But then again, they couldn’t be more A Postgame Goodbye to my Second Home: E17 Row C Seats 5&6 similar. They are both loved and hated. The Civic Arena was cramped, dingy and sorely outdated. But, it had character - a personality all its own - and a soul that all of the old hockey barns, like Boston Garden and the Montreal Forum had.

  • Request for Reconsideration After Final Action
    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. PTO Form 1960 (Rev 10/2011) OMB No. 0651-0050 (Exp 09/20/2020) Request for Reconsideration after Final Action The table below presents the data as entered. Input Field Entered SERIAL NUMBER 87548378 LAW OFFICE ASSIGNED LAW OFFICE 123 MARK SECTION MARK https://tmng-al.uspto.gov/resting2/api/img/87548378/large LITERAL ELEMENT CRAWFORD GRILL STANDARD CHARACTERS YES USPTO-GENERATED IMAGE YES The mark consists of standard characters, without claim to any particular font style, MARK STATEMENT size or color. ARGUMENT(S) PARTIAL SECTION 2(E)(4) REFUSAL – PRIMARILY MERELY A SURNAME The Examiner has objected to Classes 41 and 43 of the Application as relating only to a surname. In particular, while the Examiner acknowledges that the Applicant has shown that CRAWFORD GRILL is recognized as a historic landmark in Pittsburgh, the Examiner indicates that word “Crawford” alone only has historic meaning as a surname. In response, the Applicant respectfully submits that the historic significance of Applicant’s mark must be considered with respect to the mark as a whole and not by separating “Crawford” from “Grill.” As set forth in Section 1211.01(b) of the TMEP: The question remains whether the mark sought to be registered as a whole would be perceived by the public primarily merely as a surname. In re Hutchinson Tech. Inc., 852 F.2d 552, 554, 7 USPQ2d 1490, 1492 (Fed. Cir. 1988). The determination involves assessing the distinctiveness of the additional matter and whether its addition to the surname alters the primary significance of the mark as a whole to the purchasing public.
