    You can find out if Oakland is really haunted on one of the Haunted Pittsburgh walking tours.  Now if I were visiting any other city – and saw a haunted tour – I would run the other way.  I have just never been a fan of touristy, haunted tours – really how haunted could Daytona, FL be?

    But a haunted tour of Pittsburgh – this could be interesting.  Pittsburgh has history and lots of it.  Oakland has a ton of history packed into one little neighborhood with one very tall old building – there has to be some great stories about the Cathedral of Learning.

    Haunted Pittsbugh has just added a Haunted Oakland walking tour.  Join Sean Collier (yep – you have probably heard him on WDVE) for a tour of Haunted Oakland. (more…)

  • Visionary Arts Festival in Schenley Plaza

    eye_open_leftPittsburgh neighborhoods are abound with arts festivals this summer, but the first Pittsburgh Visionary Arts Festival promises to be a bringing together more than 50 local visionary artists and art innovators into a single venue. For three full days, these artists will share their work, vision and unique ideas in a friendly outdoors festival setting. The VAF will feature a rich diversity of minds, covering the full spectrum of art mediums: from painting to mixed media, from digital media to sound art, through recycled and self-taught art… and beyond! This festival is intended primarily as a visual and sensitory experience of art. While much of the work presented will be available for purchase, a large portion of the work will not be for sale. Experience a slice of Pittsburgh’s greatest visionary art, in a festival that hopes to decorate your soul rather than your living room! Free and open to the public. August 7, 8 and 9, from 12pm to 9pm. Schenley Plaza, (directly in front of the Cathedral of Learning, in the heart of Oakland.)  Visit http://www.pghvisionaryartsfestival.com/ for more information on the artists and the event.
