The Best T-shirts in Town – Meet Commonweath Press and Get Your Own snOMGpgh t-shirts!

danrocksnomgA long time ago, before there were blogs and before IheartPGH – some friend and I used to screen print t-shirts in my basement.  The first t-shirt we every printed was an IheartPGH t-shirt (I think I still have one of the origonals).  After printing a ton of shirts and realizing that I wasn’t really able to do large orders – I picked up a flyer for Commonwealth Press and sent them an email.  Dan and I met for coffee and we have been talking t-shirts ever since.

Dan and Shannon started Commonwealth Press in the basement of their house – they do an awesome job of screen printing t-shirts – if you can dream it – they can print it.  They are fast and helpful and affordable – Iknow they have done a great job of large and small orders (I think they were once kind enough to print 8 t-shirt for me).  One of the first converstaions Dan and I had was about clean and green and I know they do their best to steer clear of some of the toxic elements that can be involved in screen printing.

Getting Ready for Round 2…Tue. Open, Closed, Canceled List

Just wanted to create a place on the web to share information about what is closed and still open due to weather.  We are still digging out from the 20+ inches of snow from the weekend and now more snow will be arriving on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Tuesday cancellations have already started. Here is what we know is open, closed or canceled for Tueseday, February 9, 2010.  Please add other open/closed/canceled announcements to the comments below – we will try to update the post during the day too.

The roads are still extremely dangerous – if you do not have to drive – please stay home.  Be extra careful if you are out walking in the streets and move far away from cars when they come down the road – the cars are sliding all over the place and drivers could easily slide in to you.  Share road condition info: A Google Group has been created to share information about Pittsburgh road conditions – http://groups.google.com/group/pittsburgh-roads

======Snow Emergency Contact Info======
From the City of Pittsburgh website – If it is an emergency or you are not sure if it is an emergency CALL 911.  For any other help the city 311 lines are now open 24 hours a day.  The National Guard is available to assist – if you need help – need to get to medical care, medications, heat issues or anything else – CALL 311.

Thought it might be helpful to start another thread to share what is open, closed and canceled for Monday, February 8, 2010.

I was out very early to drive someone to the airport for a 7 am flight – even with 4 wheel drive – it was very difficult.  The city streets are very snow covered and very messy.  I would not recommend driving to anyone – 2 wheel drive cars are getting stuck everywhere.  Buses are running but not on schedule.

Here is what we know about for today.  Leave comments with others – I will try to update the list as we go.

Open

  • Voluto Coffee is open til 4pm

Closed

  • City and County offices
  • Pittsburgh Public school – and I think it is safe to assume all schools are closed today
  • Enrico’s Tazzo D’Oro – closed

Canceled

Abominable Snow Dawg

While the news stations are reporting on school and libraries – we thought it might be good to keep a running list here and in the comments of other events that are canceled and places that are closed. It is recommended that you DO NOT DRIVE – roads are very dangerous and the snow has brought down many power lines.

But for those who live in walkable neighborhoods – please share what businesses are open near you.

Here is what we found from twitter and facebook updates.  We are watching the twitter hash tag #snOMGpgh.  Check out some of the photos that have been posted to twitter – http://twitcaps.com/search?q=snomgpgh
