Ever Wonder What This Is?

I have asked myself many times what this blocked up tunnel could be on West Carson in between the circle and the Corliss Tunnel. Please click this LINK that will take you to a story on pghbridges.com. It raises a few good theories on what it could have been. It also has a really good history of Elliott and West End within the article.

ARTY PARTY

Pittsburgh garden artist Gary Pletsch is going to be hosting his annual "Garden Art Party" on Saturday August 2nd from Noon 'til Dusk at 210 Marlow Ave in Elliott.

This is a small excerpt from 7/29/2008 issue of the Post-Gazette:

'arty party'
Potter and garden artist Gary Pletsch, one of the original participants in the much missed East End Events, is hosting a public "arty party" at 210 Marlow St., West End (Pittsburgh 15220 for you mapquesters), from noon to dusk Saturday.

A $5 donation and a "potent grape or grain" are requested; or purchase a Pletsch tumbler with beverage for $10. Information: 412-920-6578.
