  • THREE HOURS in Pittsburgh
    THREE HOURS IN Pittsburgh THERE’S A LOT TO SEE AND DO IN JUST A FEW HOURS IN PITTSBURGH. Get out and experience some of the city’s greatest highlights. CONSIDER A TOUR, which can showcase the city in a way like no other, whether guided or self-guided. Love history, art or unique architecture? Walk or bike through Downtown and other neighborhoods along the riverfront trails, or get a fantastic view from the water aboard a Gateway Clipper riverboat cruise. Plan ahead to experience Pittsburgh like a local. VISIT ONE OF THE CITY’S 90 NEIGHBORHOODS. Some are hip, some historic, where modern homes meet Victorian mansions. Pittsburgh’s North Side, with iconic Penn Brewery and the expansive Riverview Park, is a place worth exploring. While there, don’t miss the National Aviary, the only dedicated indoor bird zoo in America. In the South Side discover walking trails, restaurants, small music venues and vintage shops. Walk down Walnut Street in Shadyside to browse local boutiques, name brands and great eateries. Get inspired at one of the art galleries in Garfield, or make something of your own at the Pittsburgh Glass Center. Trendy, walkable Lawrenceville is filled with cozy coffee shops and one-of-a-kind cuisine. EXPLORE A MUSEUM. Two of the country’s top museums, the Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History, are located in Oakland. For something more abstract, try the Mattress Factory Museum in the North Side or The Andy Warhol Museum in the North Shore. And, sports lovers should definitely make a stop at The Clemente Museum in Lawrenceville, where Pittsburgh baseball hero Roberto Clemente is celebrated..

  • The One Northside Community Plan
    Strategy Guide No. 1 Sharing New Methods˙ to IMPACT Pittsburgh’s Neighborhoods innovative project report: THE ONE NORTHSIDE COMMUNITY PLAN Our mission is to support the people, organizations and partnerships committed to creating and maintaining thriving neighborhoods. We believe that Pittsburgh’s future is built upon strong neighborhoods and the good work happening on the ground. It is integral to our role as an advocate, collaborator and convener to lift up exemplary projects and share best practices in ways that advance better engagement and community-led decisions and ensure a better understanding of the processes that lead to success and positive impact on our neighborhoods. We share this story with you to inspire action and celebrate progress, and most importantly, to empower leaders and residents in other communities to actively ˙ shape the future of their neighborhoods. — Presley L. Gillespie President, Neighborhood Allies Neighborhood Strategy Guide || 1 innovative project report: From concept to consensus Upwards of 600 people braved the chill of an early December night in Pittsburgh last year to celebrate in the warmth inside Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their reason for celebration had nothing to do with the exploits of the city’s beloved professional football team. A community plan was being unveiled for improving the quality of life in the city’s Northside neighborhoods around the stadium that the voices of several thousand residents and community stakeholders had shaped. And hopes were high that improvements in infrastructure, schools, employment and lives would be more broadly and quickly realized, as they had in other city neighborhoods where resources and revitalization were attracting investment and people.
