Pitt-starter: Steel Town – A Film About the Homestead Steel Strike

September 30, 2013 Lindsay 2 Comments

I love this Kickstarter project and I hope you will take a minute to watch their intro video.  Steel Town is a film about the Homestead Steel strike in 1892.  This strike led to a violent battle and in the end 12 people were killed.  The Homestead Steel strike had major implications for the labor movement and it all happened here, in Pittsburgh – near where you find the Waterfront shopping center. I sat down with the folks behind this Kickstarter and I’m really excited for what they are putting together.  I think this film is a great way to… Read the rest

Pitt-Starter: FLIPSTAND for iPad

January 28, 2013 Lindsay Leave a Comment

Occasionally we like to feature some Pittsburgh related Kickstarter projects here on the blog.  This one caught our eye because it was designed by the folks who own 21st Street Coffee and created the FLIPSTAND for use in their shops.  We know a few others local businesses that use an Ipad to process credit cards and could use something like the FLIPSTAND to keep their iPads from walking out the door. There are 4 days left to support this project – so if you think this is a nifty idea – make sure to contribute ASAP. Here are some other… Read the rest

Pitt-Starter: The Brew Gentlemen Are Bringing a Brewery to Braddock

November 4, 2012 Lindsay Leave a Comment

There is just 2 days left on this Kickstarter project, and these guys have already passed their goal to raise $25,000.  They have even passed their 2nd goal to raise $30,000.
