Handmade Arcade — Unusual craft fair in Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh is a lucky to have Handmade Arcade. Brooklyn and Chicago were the leaders in these DIY (do it yourself fairs) and now Pittsburgh has its very own venue to buy local handmade goods.
Visit the website http://www.handmadearcade.com
and make sure to stop by Construction Juntion on Nov. 12! A huge thanks from I heart PGH to the great people that make Handmade Arcade a reality in Pittsburgh.

Yes, there is an urban horse farm and many other unusual things in this city that one would not expect to find in a city. About once a month or so, some of the folks from Ground Zero (http://www.gzpgh.org) plan a walking tour of a different city neighborhood. One does not need to leave the city limits to find some interesting things. They have covered some of the hidden neighborhoods in the city of Pittsburgh.
The hikes are free, just show up and you are guaranteed to meet a great group of people and learn alot about the neighborhood.
The hikes are organized by:
Sean Beasley
Kate Fink (you may recognize her from WDUQ radio)
Mark Hoffman
Emily Keebler
We at Iheartpgh.com have met some of these hikers and can attest that they are great people, definitly PGH lovers. To learn more about the hikers visit http://www.urbanhike.org
Saturday October 1 – Urban Hike visits Carnegie.
Meet at Eccentricities, 222 Third Avenue, 10 am, October 1st.
There should be plenty of street parking – Gas is expensive. How about these buses instead? 100, 25D
The hike will take about three hours.
As always, comfortable shoes, sunscreen and water are excellent ideas.

The Union Project On the border between East Liberty & Highland Park at the corner of Negley and Stanton is the community center that the community built. For the past 4 years volunteers have been working to restore and remodel an old deterioating church in to a useful, attractive and modern community center.
Rather than hiring someone to restore the stained glass windows the Union Project has offered stained glass classes and the students have done the work of repairing the windows.
The Union Project will house offices for a variety of community groups, meeting space, performance space and a coffee shop.
They are still offering stained glass classes and are always looking for volunteers.
