Hype for the Future 41A/284: About the Pittsburgh Area
Pittsburgh is located within the Alleghenies of the Appalachian Mountains, at the confluence of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River and the source of the Ohio River. While the innermost area is identified as an obvious grid pattern, as with Philadelphia, the terrain of the Pittsburgh region results in organic street patterns further away from the inner city naturally, as is the unfortunate reality of modern suburbia. In comparison, the region around Philadelphia is flatter, so the […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/12/11/hype-for-the-future-41a-284-about-the-pittsburgh-area/

#yinz know, I think, my preference in the recent #democrats primary for mayor of #Pittsburgh where our first black mayor was given the boot for a white nepo kid, but I do plan to vote for Corey O'Connor. I'm just saying, if on Nov. 4, we lose the PA Supreme Court, because African-American turnout in #Allegheny County cratered, I am totally going to hold it against him for, like, as long as he is in public life.

I wonder how universal a bus pass would be here in #aliquippa. I think that's in #Beaver county, IIRC, but suppose I need to go to #Allegheny county? Thinking about getting out of the apartment sometimes. -

Pittsburgh originally had two public conservatories,
both established by Henry Phipps, Jr.,
childhood friend of Andrew Carnegie
and second largest shareholder in Carnegie Steel.In 1886, Phipps donated $25,000 to establish a glasshouse in his hometown of #Allegheny #City
—today’s North Side.This first Phipps Conservatory became a very popular destination.
It has undergone many iterations,
and we know the site today as the National Aviary.The 9-room Phipps Conservatory in Oakland’s #Schenley #Park opened in December 1893 as another gift from Henry Phipps, Jr.
—this time to the City of Pittsburgh.It showcased many plants that had been on display at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
THE FRICK GREENHOUSE
The #Frick #Greenhouse was built in 1897
when Mr. Frick hired the Pittsburgh architectural firm of Alden & Harlow to add to his estate.It wasn’t the first such structure at Clayton, but this new one was meant to be a showpiece.
According to the papers “no expense was spared” and it was described as " . . . one of the most modern public or private ones in the state of Pennsylvania, and possibly in the United States.”
Alden & Harlow worked with Lord & Burnham, an American company
renowned for its conservatory design.Among other efforts, The New York state-based Lord & Burnham created the Schenley Phipps buildings,
worked on the Golden Gate Conservatory,
and designed the conservatory at The New York Botanical Garden.Glass houses like the Frick building were often built of durable cypress or white pine, with structural elements of iron or steel.

#Allegheny County, PA is thinking about a plastic bag ban. A plastic bag ban is a small thing on the scale of the climate crisis, but it's something that we can do pretty easily. (Please contact your county Council person.)
Plastic bags are also one of the reasons that recycling plastic is ineffective. Plastic bags tangle the sorting machinery, slow it and stop it, and require workers to climb in and cut the bags off.
