Things I love about Pittsburgh #2

MURALS!


The city is covered in amazing murals.  These are just a tiny representation of what local artists have created in our city.  From murals advertising the business inside to "pretty-ing" up an abandoned building or lot, there is literally art on every corner in the 'Burgh.

A few I pass regularly:

along a not-so-beautiful stretch of East Liberty Blvd.  The script reads: Redd-up, Celebrate, Green-up (Redd-up is "pittsburghese" for "to clean")

A University of Pittsburgh & Fred Rogers (local legend) tribute on Forbes at Atwood St in Oakland



Atwood and Sennot St intersection, Pitt's Oakland campus   





along Penn Avenue in the East Liberty/Garfield section of town


One of my favorites, and actually easy to miss. On Penn Ave in Garfield, down the street from one of our favorite brunch spots- Quiet Storm

Salem's market, Strip District


The Midwife Center, Strip District
