Weekend Wrap-Up

Alrighty, so it’s 5am on a Sunday morning in the Blitz and even though there’s about 20 hours left to go, I feel inclined to write a weekend wrap-up. Forgive me. I hope every ‘burgher, be they resident, transplant or visitor, had a wonderful holiday. Here are 3 things I am thankful for this weekend: 1.

Beehive

This was probably the first of the independent coffee shops in Pittsburgh and it continues to be a popular one. 3 reasons why I like the beehive 1. Free Wireless 2. Independently owned 3. They will make me anything I ask for (aka one of the only places to get a smoothie that is not just sugar water and ice) Yes – we know that sometimes the staff here has a reputation for… Read the rest
