Bill Peduto’s tv commercial is available via YouTube. Five generations of my family worked in the mill right there on the South Side – my great-grandfather died a few blocks away from that spot. Still, my father and his cousins and even my brother worked in the mills through the 70s and 80s and …today. […]
When I “met” Doug Shields, it was via the telephone – I answered call from unfamiliar number and heard “Susan, this is Douglas. I understand you want to march!” I was driving home from work so I had to pull over (near the Civic Arena) and scribble notes on a crumpled receipt. His 2008 response […]
See, here’s what the mayor’s office should say: “You know what? We don’t like Sue Kerr because she’s mean to us, and we don’t like her website and we don’t think it’s useful, and we don’t want our employees reading her website while they’re supposed to be working. So,nyahh.” – Trish Mifflin, 2013.

Scouting has been an incredible experience for my sons, helping them to develop unparalleled leadership skills, a […]
Things are always hopping at the Trib … lots and lots of letters submitted (and published) around LGBTQ topics. When last we checked, Rudy Gagliardi of Arnold was defending his stance that homosexuals can change their ways. And he’s not even the worst of the bigots! Five people wrote in to challenge Gagliardi’s point of […]
That’s Snow My God Pgh. Today, winter came to Pittsburgh for a weekend. It is cold and snowy. So we planned ahead – tonight’s activities feature eating potato chips and watching Season Two of Downton Abbey on DVDs from Netflix. In bed … seriously, I’m not just saying that. 🙂 So a fun hashtag that […]
