south side: Ride Over to the South Side's OTB Bicycle Cafe - 03/24/09 01:15 AM
Over the Bar (OTB) Bicycle Cafe on Pittsburgh's South Side opened in January, and it was featured in Pop City:
"The first-of-its-kind in western Pennsylvania, the family-friendly café features colorful ceiling murals by Ashley Hodder and ‘art bikes' constructed by THICK Bikes owner Chris Beech. Red Star Ironworks artist Grace Catranis used recycled bike parts to create OTB's wall sconces.

south side: The Library Restaurant in Pittsburgh's South Side - 12/17/08 12:42 AM
The Library restaurant is located at 2302 East Carson Street (near the Birmingham Bridge) in Pittsburgh's historic South Side.  Scott Beveridge, award winning writer and photographer at the Observer-Reporter, had this to say about it on his blog:
"The menu is even sandwiched between the pages of books, and its selections have witty names inspired by book titles and authors.
Executive Chef Steven Harlow has come up with a dinner named The Fisherman and His Wife that includes pretzel-encrusted salmon. And then there is the Billy Goats Gruff that is a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with goat cheese and drizzled with chipotle sauce. I like … (0 comments)

south side: Enjoy Walking? See What Neighborhoods in Pittsburgh Are the Most Walk Friendly - 07/07/08 11:07 AM
There are some great benefits to living closer to downtown - proximity to food, entertainment and shopping, as well as access to the amazing cultural scene. There are also wonderful aspects of living in the suburbs, like owning a bit more land and having a larger house as well as enjoying community pools and having barbecues in the cul-de-sac.
Some people want to live downtown because they can walk to everything. But keep in mind there are suburbs that also are considered to be very "walkable." If you're looking for a house where you don't have to get in your car every time you want a gallon of milk, … (0 comments)

south side: Little Pink Houses For You and Me - 07/07/08 10:52 AM
This house on the South Side has been beautifully renovated on the inside, but would the exterior paint color keep you from seeing it?
There are many factors involved in marketing and selling your home, and you can't control most of them. But the curb appeal of your home plays a big role, and it's one of the things you can have direct control over.
