RT @DaveDiCello: Hard to believe that it's been seven years to the day that a bus fell into a sinkhole in downtown #Pittsburgh. While I couldn't make it down in the morning I did after work, and this image remains one of the wildest I've ever captured in the city.

RT @Pittsburgh: Autumn on the South Side Slopes. 🍁🍂

RT @BradySmithPR: This Sunday! 🎃👻💀🪦

Step inside the Smithsonian’s home in Pittsburgh for a day of tricks, treats, and family-friendly activities on Sunday, Oct. 25. Get your kiddos dressed in their Halloween best because this year’s monster bash is going to be more spooktacular than ever!

RT @cfbhall: 50 years ago, Tony Dorsett ran into college football history. 🏈🏆 On October 23, 1976, the Pitt legend and College Football Hall of Famer became college football's all-time leading rusher against Navy, securing his place among the game's greatest. Five decades later, his legacy lives on at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, where Dorsett's shoulder pads are on display as a tribute to one of college football's most remarkable careers. Together with @Pitt_FB and @HistoryCenter, we're celebrating a milestone that helped define an unforgettable era of Pittsburgh football. #TonyDorsett #H2P #PittFootball #CollegeFootballHallOfFame #CollegeFootballHistory
