Why Pittsburgh Party – September 17th

September 11, 2009 · by Lindsay · in events, Organizations/Clubs, pro-PGH

One of the ideas that came out of the GLUE (Great Lakes Urban Exchange) Conference back in March (see my post about the conference here) was the idea for the I will Stay If campaign – the folks behind GLUE are using this as an opportunity to talk about why people want to live in these Great Lakes Cities.

The first party was held in Detroit over the summer – check out the article about the party here (more photos here).

Some of the folks who have come together to help plan the Pittsburgh I will Stay If party have adapted the name slightly to Why Pittsburgh? – and are inviting anyone who is interested to come join the party on September 17th at the Shadow Lounge.

This is a great way to meet more people who are passionate about Pittsburgh and to connect to the GLUE network of other people who are passionate about their cities too.

If you are new to GLUE – check out Gluespace.org – follow their blog and sign up for the Gluesletter. You can also follow GLUE on Twitter @gluester. They have some really great info about cities and projects in other cities – as well as some great photo contests.

RSVP for Why Pittsburgh on Facebook here.
