Steel of the Week – A Year of Movies At Row House Cinema

row-house-cinemaThanks to the IheartPGH Twitter followers for the heads up on this Indiegogo campaign.   It has been awhile since we’ve posted about a crowdfunding project in Pittsburgh (which isn’t 100% true – thanks to the readers of IheartPGH who helped to crowdfund my seat on the Millennial Trains Project).

Sometimes – you just need to go to the movies and sadly there aren’t that many movie theaters left in the city if Pittsburgh.  I believe the Manor theater in Sq. Hill is the only theater left in the city limits.

Thankfully, some Pittsburghers are looking to bring a movie theater to Lawrenceville.  The folks behind Row House Cinema have put together a lovely video to tell you about this project.  And they have put together some incredible thank you gifts – while the engraved seats have already sold out – you can still pick up some movie passes or even free movies for a year.

I’m hopeful that I can talk these guys into showing more Pittsburgh related movies – it would be great to be able to see The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh or Flashdance on the big screen.
