The Beginning of a Bookstore

July 29, 2011 Lindsay 5 Comments

You may have noticed a post here on I<3PGH a few weeks ago about the East End Book Exchange.  Book lover and occasional I<3PGH blogger Lesley Rains is exploring the idea of setting up a used book store here in Pittsburgh. This is hopefully good news for Pittsburgh.  Not so long ago, there were many a book shop to be found in the east end… Sq. Hill Bookshop (which is now Massage Envy on Forbes) Atlantic Booksellers (also on Forbes ave – but I am not sure what is there now) Pinocchio Books (a kids book store that was located… Read the rest

For the Love of Travel Guidebooks – Offline Guides to Pittsburgh and Beyond

July 25, 2011 Lindsay Leave a Comment

Obviously we love blogs, and we like Pittsburgh, and we believe blogs can be a pretty good way to learn about a city.  But in this post we take a look at a non digital form of local information – the travel guide book.   Travel books are like blogs, but probably better because someone has taken the time to pick out the best bits of information and compile them into a handy little book that can be used in corners of the earth (or corners of Pittsburgh) that have no cell phone or internet reception (and yes there are still… Read the rest

Bringing Life Back to the East Liberty Borders

May 3, 2011 Lindsay 1 Comment

I have been excited about this ideas since we first got an email about it last month.  Fleeting Pages is a project to turn the East Liberty Borders – which closed for business a few weeks ago into a pop-up independent book store.  With the help of a lot of different groups – Fleeting Pages will be open for a month. Fleeting Pages is also putting Pittsburgh on the map – the idea has been covered on national blogs too – GalleyCat and The Consumerist. You can help get the ball rolling on this project by supporting the Fleeting Pages… Read the rest

Drinking in the Library – Friday, May 20

April 24, 2011 Lindsay 2 Comments

Yes, the Library with books – the actual Carnegie Library on Carson St. – which should not be confused with the bar named “The Library” which is also on Carson St.  just a block away.  The bar has drinks but not many books. On May 20 you will be able to drink in the actual library library – for their Deconstruction Party.  A fundraiser to benefit the library and a chance to check out the acutal library building which is over 100 years old. Late Night @ The Library: Deconstruction Party Friday, May 20, 2011, 7 – 10 PM Carnegie… Read the rest
