Calling all zip car drivers and zip car wanna be drivers. The folks from Zip Cary have organized a little zippity happy hour of sorts.

Thought it might be helpful to start another thread to share what is open, closed and canceled for Monday, February 8, 2010.
I was out very early to drive someone to the airport for a 7 am flight – even with 4 wheel drive – it was very difficult. The city streets are very snow covered and very messy. I would not recommend driving to anyone – 2 wheel drive cars are getting stuck everywhere. Buses are running but not on schedule.
Here is what we know about for today. Leave comments with others – I will try to update the list as we go.
Open
Closed
Canceled
While the news stations are reporting on school and libraries – we thought it might be good to keep a running list here and in the comments of other events that are canceled and places that are closed. It is recommended that you DO NOT DRIVE – roads are very dangerous and the snow has brought down many power lines.
But for those who live in walkable neighborhoods – please share what businesses are open near you.
Here is what we found from twitter and facebook updates. We are watching the twitter hash tag #snOMGpgh. Check out some of the photos that have been posted to twitter – http://twitcaps.com/search?q=snomgpgh
CANCELED
CLOSED
OPEN
If you are thinking of starting a business here in Pittsburgh there are lots of great groups to check out. Every other month or so, entrepreurs gather in the morning for Open Cofffee (usually hosted at the Alpha Lab offices on Carson St.). Some of the Open Coffee folks are getting together for Start Up Drinks. Kind of like Open Coffee, but now in the evening and with the option of beer.
Start Up Drinks – Kick Off Event (Facebook Event Page)
Come out and have some drinks with us at the kickoff event for Startup Drinks Pittsburgh! Network with some of Pittsburgh’s entrepreneurs, investors, and well-wishers. It’s sure to be a great time.
