Facebook Live with filmmaker Chris Ivey who has been documenting East Liberty for over a decade

March 12, 2018 Lindsay

PublicSource Facebook Live with Chris IveySomewhere around 2005 or 2006 I was sitting in the Shadow Lounge a coffee shop, bar, event space that was located at the corner of Highland Avenue and Baum Boulevard. The space was most recently the Livermore and is currently undergoing an update and will be reopened by the folks who own Independent Brewing and Hidden Harbor. I can’t remember why I was there that evening, I think it was a week night. But I remember that Chris Ivey walked in and was eager to show off some of his most recent footage he had shot in East Liberty.  I… Read the rest

East Liberty 1935: Subterranean Public Bathrooms

May 17, 2017 Lindsay

Today’s post comes from East Liberty Valley Historic Society Facebook page. ELVHS added some helpful captions to this photo of Penn Ave from 1935. This is the section of Penn Ave where Target is now located. One of the questions on the Facebook post asks if these bathrooms still exist underground. It would be interesting to find out if these were filled in or if there are still bathrooms under Penn Ave. A different take on the Pittsburgh Potty. I don’t believe any of the buildings in this photograph are still standing today. You can find more information about Joyce… Read the rest

TUESDAY – City Planning Hosts Community Meeting on Enright Park

February 23, 2016 Lindsay

Sorry for the last minute post, but just learned about this meeting and wanted to help spread the word.  One of the more interesting discussions about public space in the East End over the past few months has been around the future of the Enright Parklet. A small public park located in East Liberty. Google maps shows that Enright Parklet is in the middle of the Penn Plaza green space, from the street, I am not sure if this space looks very green, so it would be easy to miss this little park if you were just driving down Penn… Read the rest
