Open the Doors to Pittsburgh

/ By Kim Palmiero

By far my personal favorite event in Pittsburgh is Doors Open Pittsburgh. I talk with Bonnie Baxter about how and why she brought this idea to Pittsburgh, the process of setting up this incredible event and plans for future events. If you’ve not taken part in Doors Open Pittsburgh… it’s a MUST as far as Pittsburgh Beautiful is concerned.

The Sports Porch – OMG & 2

/ By Kim Palmiero

O-2. Steve (now Willie) is horrified. Dave (The Alum) is worried. Schwalbber is optimistic and Chris is… well… Chris. Will Mason Rudolph step in and be great? Will Minkah Fitzpatrick do the same… or have the Steelers presented their “team of the future” and conceded that this is a “learning” season? We predict the 49ers game, and then move on to… gasp… Pitt and the latest debacle. I think The Alum should win a podcasting award for his rant.

Introducing the Sports Porch

/ By Kim Palmiero

This week I’m thrilled to announce the first Pittsburgh Beautiful spin-off podcast: The Sports Porch. Join Chris Klein, Dave Moio, Marc Schwalb and Steve DeFlitch every week, as we podcast from our porch, discussing all things Pittsburgh and sports related. The Steelers, the Pirates, the Penguins and everything in between. This week, we talk about the Steeler’s disappointing loss in New England, the Seahawks coming to town for the home opener, and a little fantasy football. Oh yeah… of course there’s a little Antonio Brown stuff in there. How can we avoid it? Stay real.

So what do you do Labor Day weekend after a great podcast with close friends about the Steeler’s season? Why… you record ANOTHER one about Fantasy Football. Please, don’t take our advice… just listen and make fun of our picks! Good luck!

Postindustrial, Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast, BONUS – Predicting the Steelers Season

BONUS – Predicting the Steelers Season

/ By Kim Palmiero

David Moio predicts the Steelers season, game by game.  My guests on this episode include Steve DeFlitch… noted yinzer, Mt. Pleasant native and current Greenfield resident… and Marc Schwalb, sarcastic Philly native, Eagles fan, and now a resident of Indiana Township, north of Pittsburgh (he made one good decision, at least!).  Always the optimist (unless we are talking about Pitt Football… or the Pirates) Moio puts the Steelers atop the division and in the playoffs.   And we discuss this in usual guy-football type conversation.

Postindustrial, Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast, The Postindustrial Revolution

The Postindustrial Revolution

/ By Kim Palmiero

The last decade has seen a great resurgence in not only Pittsburgh, but many urban areas in the country previously associated with the industrial revolution. Matt Stroud, my guest on this episode, returned to his roots here in the Steel City to co-found a new media company, Postindustrial Media. This publication focuses on the many cities in the midwest (to also include places such as Baltimore and Philadelphia) that saw decay throughout the decline of manufacturing in the late 1900s and have begun a resurgence of their own. Postindustrial seeks to tell these stories in a meaningful and educational way. Pittsburgh Beautiful is proud to partner with Postindustrial in bringing the story of Pittsburgh’s most recent renaissance through audio, visual and written means.

Postindustrial, Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast, The Chairman Of Chat… Rob Pratte

The Chairman Of Chat… Rob Pratte

/ By Kim Palmiero

Indeed it is a privilege to have Rob Pratte, a veteran of 40 years in Pittsburgh television, advertising and radio, on the Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast. I met Rob a couple years ago when my wife began a radio show on KDKA Radio. Rob was the host, and we had the pleasure of sitting with him in studio many early Saturday mornings. Always upbeat, always positive, and with the greatest “gift for gab” I’ve ever experienced… it was fascinating to be on the other side of the microphone with Rob… interviewing one of Pittsburgh’s great… well… interviewers. You’ll love this episode! I did!

BONUS – A Tale of Two Franchises

/ By Kim Palmiero

As he wrote about in his latest column, Dave Moio of Moio’s Musings see’s the Pirates and the Steelers as 2 franchises moving in opposite directions. While the Steelers seem to be addressing issues, or at least attempting to address them, the Pirates are indeed, in his opinion, sinking lower each day. Hear his thoughts on this special BONUS edition of the Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast.

Phipps Conservatory and the Living Building Challenge

Mr. Piacentini took the reigns in 1994, and has helped Phipps to lead the way in sustainable landscape and construction, starting with the Center for Sustainable Landscapes, opened in 2012 and considered at the time the greenest building in the world, and most recently the Exhibit Staging Center. We all love Phipps for it’s beautiful flowers, shows and atmosphere. It’s truly a gem in our region. But… there’s so much more to Phipps’ mission. We discuss that on this podcast.

Steelers Camp and Being a Browns Fan – Bonus Edition Part 2

/ By Kim Palmiero

Dave Moio, of Moio’s Musings on Pittsburgh Beautiful talks about Steelers training camp through the first week. Some stand-outs, some concerns, and what to wish for… also, can you be a Steelers fan and like the Browns. Seems like a rhetorical question, right?

Postindustrial, Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcasts, Pittsburgh Pirates

Did the Pirates Sink The Ship?

/ By Kim Palmiero

Well, the trade deadline came… and went. Seriously… did anyone really think the Pirates were going to make a real move? Sure… Dickerson is gone. They gave him away. That’s not a move. Yeah… they tried to move Vasquez… but didn’t. In today’s Moio’s Musings, Dave talks about the disappointment, the current state of the franchise, and what he thinks the future looks like… for now. And you can listen to it right here on this BONUS edition of the Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast!

A special BONUS episode of the Pittsburgh Beautiful podcast with Dave Moio, the writer of Moio’s Musings, and our sports columnist. Dave and I talk about the Bucco’s season so far, should they be buyers or sellers, who has been their biggest miss in the last few years, and whether or not you have the right to be severely frustrated as a Pirates fan… (of course you do).

Postindustrial, Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast, Steel This Podcast

Steel This Podcast

/ By Kim Palmiero

This week my guest is John Dubosky, the publisher of Steel This Magazine, a local Pittsburgh-centric publication that doubles as a coupon clippers holy grail. You may see his mag a various coffee shops, cigar bars, boutiques and hot spots around the city. John’s journey to Pittsburgh was similar to mine, albeit a couple of years later, when the “renaissance” was already under way. Hear why John chose to actually “print” his publication (and we thought print media was dead), how he chose his clever name (Steel This…) and more.

New Yorkers Travel to Pittsburgh?

/ By Kim Palmiero

Would a New Yorker actually choose Pittsburgh as a destination for vacation? The answer is apparently… YES. Pittsburgh Beautiful interviews Scott Walters, of GoAwayOftenTravel.com, about why, as a travel agent, he recommends Pittsburgh to many of his clients. Scott, incidentally, lived in the Pittsburgh area for a few years as a boy, and he also returned to CMU for graduate school from 1989-1991. While spending the majority of his life in New York, just a stone’s throw from NYC, Scott is an avid Steelers and Pirates fan, and considers himself a Pittsburgher for life!
