Learn more about Pittsburgh’s connections to Cuba at the CubaOne Fundraiser

December 12, 2016 Lindsay

Apologies for the last minute posting on this event for CubaOne, which is tonight, Monday, December 12, 2016.  Even if you can’t make it to this event, I wanted to share some information with Pittsburgh readers about the CubaOne Foundation. One of the founders of the CubaOne Foundation is Daniel Jimenez. I met Daniel through PUMP many years ago, I think we were both board members at the same time. Daniel and I have stayed in touch via Facebook. I struggle, like many others, with how much is too much Facebook, but it is following things like the launch of… Read the rest

The World Pinball Championships are in Pittsburgh

August 14, 2008 Lindsay

Actually, I believe that the last 7 Pinball Championships have been held in Pittsburgh. PAPA stands for the Professional & Amateur Pinball Association.

But they were able to rebuild in time for the 2005 competition. The facility has over 400 pinball machines. The Pinball facility is only open to the public for tournaments and is located at 501 Keystone Dr., Carnegie, PA 15106. The Tournament runs all day… Read the rest
