Not the info you are looking for, but there are a few articles floating around about the Pittsburgh Glass Center's soon to break ground expansion. The facility on Penn Ave is being expanded over top of their surface parking lot and going from 15k to 26k sq ft. They are also creating gallery space and visiting artist apartments in a separate building on Penn.

The gallery will be in the graffiti covered building across Penn from Spork. Or in Pittsburgh terms, where the Horoscope lounge was. Ya know, across from where the Quiet Storm used to be.

lol, I feel this.

Also, I miss Quiet Storm, even if it was the hipster capital of the city, I still managed to enjoy the place.

Wait that new building by the Aldi is for the glass center? Pretty cool to see how big they’re getting!

Across from the Funeral home? No, that's some random rich guy's art gallery project or something. I forget the story since it's boring.

All I will ever care to know about that building is that they blocked off the sidewalk for the almost the entirety of 2020 and 2021 and we all had to walk in the street for 2 years

Yeah that site has been under construction for way too long and has been a total inconvenience considering the building won't be anything available to the public.

The ugly building that is all new but made to look old! I hate that thing! They finally got the dumpster out of the road and I did a double take the last time I drove through. Like, "Look at this wide ass road we've had all this time!".
