The Handmade Arcade is like no other craft scene you’ve ever seen – it’s a crafty’s dream! Last time, over 8,000 people showed up to support local crafters.

If you answered yes to either of these questions, then the Handmade Arcade exists for you. There’s literally something for everyone – thousands of great deals on priceless handmade goods (sometimes even negotiable!).
The best part is that you’ll be supporting local, independent artists and designers (and the Earth, since a lot of the stuff is crafted out of recycled materials!!). Some of the categories include jewelry, paintings, prints, photos, t-shirts, stationary, home decorations, candles, belt buckles, housewares, books, knitted accessories, soaps, and more. Maybe even some Steelers stuff in the mix! Continue Reading ->

Light Up Night Nov. 28, 2008 pic by bethykae on flickr
You might notice a beautiful glow fill the sky above Pittsburgh tonight – that’s because it’s the 49th annual Light Up Night! All of the buildings downtown are supposed to leave their lights on in celebration of the event. This is your chance to see why our city is known for having one of the most beautiful skylines in the country.
Over 100,000 people are expected to join in welcoming the 2009 holiday season in downtown Pittsburgh – and even more if you include South Side, Station Square, and Mount Washington.
Most Downtown stores will stay open past 5:00pm for once! While shopping, be sure to check out unveiling of the Macy’s holiday windows… or, the lighting of the “Highmark Unity Tree” at Point State Park (isn’t it boring how everything in the ‘Burgh has become property of some company or another? Even the freakin’ Christmas tree at The Point! Pretty soon we won’t be calling it Pittsburgh anymore – it’ll be Company XYZ Burgh). Continue Reading ->
