Live in the Pittsburgh Golden Triangle, drive to your new downtown home at the Corner of 4th & Wood Streets, give your keys to the doorman of the Carlyle under the Blue and Gold Awning; step into the glamorous architecture of 1907.
Designed in 1906 by the architectural firm of MacClure & Shahr, the building displays an austere version of the Classical Revival style, executed in gray granite. It offers Old World Artisan craftsmanship with ultra modern amenities. The downtown Pittsburgh location is superb; no highway noise, yet you can stroll the Golden Triangle and Business District, walk minutes to the Cultural District and Pittsburgh's famous Sports Arenas. Enjoy being just minutes from the super highways which can take you everywhere!
The Carlyle has the lowest density per floor in the city of Pittsburgh; residents have only one to three neighbors per floor! The 23 thick concrete floors, the double Homosote Insulated Demising walls and the center city location provide an incredibly quiet lifestyle.
The developer, E.V. Bishoff Company, has once again proven their reputation for attention to detail by maintaining the original operable windows at full height, adding solid wood doors and trims, 9' 7' - 10' ceilings throughout, designer appliances, granite flooring, and more. All of these things speak of quiet elegance and luxury.
Bring your designer to create your unique downtown home. Call Kay Barchetti to preview the Condominiums at the Carlyle: 412-691-5086,

They got Modernized! Otis Pop-Out Elevators - Investment Building - Downtown, Pittsburgh, PA
Thats right! The new elevator is running (FINALLY). These use to be Otis with the pop-out buttons and Touch hall buttons, but Hadfield just modernized them. The mod was much needed the old cars were falling apart and always breaking. I hope they do update the cabs. They are needed for an upgrade as well. They are much smoother and faster. In my personal opinion I don't like how they took away the THIS CAR UP lanterns in the lobby they were so cool looking.

First Tiki Tour Boat Arrives In Pittsburgh
On Thursday, the first tiki tour boat hit the water in Pittsburgh; KDKA's Christine D'Antonio reports.
Station Square is Pittsburgh's premier dining place
Long ago, people came to the site now known as Station Square to meet passengers arriving on the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad. Today, people come here to meet people passing through our nightspots.
Allow us to take you on a brief journey through our past.
In 1873, the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE) was first chartered and in 1877, construction began on a rail line connecting Pittsburgh to Youngstown. In 1879, the P&LE officially opened for commercial traffic and later became known as the Little Giant for the amount of tonnage that it moved.
After World War II, air and motor traffic in America began to make considerable inroads into the railroad passenger business. By 1970, railroad passenger traffic had all but disappeared. Even the company's facilities for handling freight at the Pittsburgh station were no longer needed. The great railway complex, covering over forty acres and containing, besides the huge terminal, an extensive freight station, a seven story warehouse, an express house and several minor buildings was in danger of becoming a commercial cemetery.
In 1976, the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation developed the site as a mixed-use historic adaptive reuse development that gave the foundation the opportunity to put its urban planning principles into practice. The property was adapted for new uses: a hotel was added along with a dock to house the Gateway Clipper fleet and parking areas.
After 19 years of developing Station Square, the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation sold the property to developer Forest City Enterprises in 1994. In 2002, Forest City completed a 100 room expansion to the Sheraton Hotel and added the Bessemer Court entertainment district.
AND NOW...
Station Square is Pittsburgh's premier dining and entertainment destination with unique specialty shops.
The property celebrates its rich cultural and industrial history by renovating and maintaining its attributes like the Landmarks Building, which was constructed in 1900 to house the Pittsburgh Terminal Train Station. Today, the seven-level historic building is home to Pittsburgh iconic restaurants The Grand Concourse and The Gandy Dancer and also offers 80,245 square-feet of office space.
The Freight House Shops, which was once a train shed, has been transformed to boast its old world charm in the setting of one of the restored railroad buildings. Housing over 20 unique retailers, shoppers will find everything from Pittsburgh souvenirs, to novelties from around the world including toys, fashions, jewelry and cigars.
At the heart of Station Square is Bessemer Court, which was designed to commemorate the city's celebrated steel history. Here, you can find Hard Rock Café and the state-of-the-art Fountain at Bessemer Court with its Waltzing Waters Liquid Fireworks Show of hundreds of multi-colored water jets all choreographed to music and soaring up to 40 feet in the air.

Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) Overview
A Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) is where applicants for military service go to complete the enlistment process. There are 65 MEPS in the United States and Puerto Rico. Applicants who must travel a distance will receive free lodging at a nearby hotel. Meals and transportation are also provided at no cost.
Nicknamed Freedom's Front Door, MEPS are staffed with military and civilian professionals who carefully screen each applicant to ensure he or she meets the physical, academic and moral standards set by each Service. To do so, each applicant goes through the following steps:
- Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) testing
- Career Counseling
- Physical Exam
- Background Screening
- Oath of Enlistment
Following the Oath, an applicant is now a full member of the U.S. Military. At this point, he or she may ship directly to Basic Training for his or her branch, or enroll in the Delayed Entry (or Enlistment) Program (DEP) and undergo training at a future time. It can be a long day, and a lot happens quickly, but applicants are briefed at every step by MEPS staff, and there is always help available should questions arise.

Rep. Eugene DePasquale's NFL Playoff Party at Panther Hollow Inn in Pittsburgh
On Sunday January 8th, State Rep. Eugene DePasquale, candidate for Pennsylvania Auditor General hosted an NFL Playoff Party at the Panther Hollow Inn in Pittsburgh. Elected officials, party members, labor leaders and democratic activists came out from across southwestern Pennsylvania including Allegheny County Chief Executive Rich Fitzgerald, Beaver County Commissioner Joe Spanik, Pittsburgh City Controller Michael Lamb, Democratic State Committee Southwest Caucus Chair Jack Hanna, Allegheny County Democratic Party Chair Nancy Patton-Mills, Indiana County Democratic Chair Ron Fairman and Pittsburgh Democratic Party Chair Ed Gainey. Rep. Eugene DePasquale (D-95, York) is serving his third term in the state House of Representatives, and has established himself as a strong progressive voice and a leading reformer in Harrisburg. Among his many accomplishments, Eugene was the first legislator in Pennsylvania's history to post his legislative expenses online, and he was a leader in the fight to strengthen our state's open records law. As Auditor General, Eugene will fight to protect working families by eliminating wasteful spending and increasing accountability. Prior to serving in the legislature, DePasquale served as a Deputy Secretary in the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) where he fought to protect the environment and expand Pennsylvania's alternative energy production capabilities. While at DEP, Eugene also played a key role in attracting the world's largest wind energy company, Gamesa, to relocate a significant portion of their operations to Pennsylvania. We hope you can join us in supporting a candidate for Auditor General with the experience, proven track record and progressive values to protect Pennsylvania's taxpayers and keep state government honest, open and transparent.

150+ Years of Energy History in Pittsburgh (in 10 Riveting Minutes!)
The Pittsburgh region is the birthplace of energy. The first oil and natural gas wells were drilled here, and we built the first natural gas pipeline. Pittsburgh electrified America with alternating current and commercialized nuclear power. We also pioneered scrubbers for coal-fired power plants and intelligent building technologies for some of the first green buildings in the nation. With this rich history, it’s no wonder that the Pittsburgh region is today, a leading energy innovator, leveraging rich natural resources – particularly the Marcellus and Utica Shale gas plays beneath us – and capitalizing on our manufacturing and innovation legacy to propel both traditional and renewable energy sources – and their supply chains – into new frontiers. For a fast, but informative, ride through 150 years of energy history in Pittsburgh, watch this video produced by the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and featuring veteran broadcast journalist Bill Flanagan, “Mr. Pittsburgh,” whose knowledge of the region and its history is encyclopedic, if not entertaining.
