South Asia Unreeled: That’s Why I’m Working - Sunday, March 7, 2010, 2:00pm
There has been an ongoing Asian film festival happening at Winchester Thurston School on Morewood Avenue. While there have been other Asian film festivals in Pittsburgh, the films in the Asia Unreeled Film Series are all documentaries. In February they showed a South Korean documentary exposing the high rates of plastic surgery among young women in Korea (Good for Her) and a Japanese documentary about World War II kamikaze pilots (Wings of Defeat). The film series continues this Sunday… Continue Reading ->
In case you missed the 2010 International Auto Show because of the snow, Pitt News reporter, David Beitzel give us a mini tour of the show – with a great sense of humor.
The auto show ran between February 11th and 15th at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh. Surprisingly, they kept the doors open all throughout the blizzard.
So what’s it gonna be, the Smart Car or the monster truck? Continue Reading ->
Skiiing in the street was as common today as stranded cars.
At this point, you might think the snow is becoming boring like everything else in the burgh. At least some Pittsburghers know how to make the best of snowmaggedon. People were out everywhere today and all across the city cars were stuck, trees were broken, lines were down, and people were cross-country skiing like it was Seven Springs. It helped that the roads are jam packed with at least 3 inches of snow – even the main streets. The way the temperature is dropping right now, those skiers will be able to ice skate from Squirrel Hill to Downtown! Continue Reading ->

We began taking photos early in the night, and the snow just kept on pouring down. Here are some pictures of the East Busway at Negley Station. The total lack of wind let the snowflakes stack nicely. This is a big difference from the Blizzard of ‘93 when we saw lot’s a wind gusts blow the snow even deeper. Continue reading for the rest of the snapshots… Continue Reading ->

Maybe even some Steelers stuff in the mix! Continue Reading ->
