Garden Theater set to be finished in JuneConstruction on the Garden

Theater, 10 W. North Ave., has revved up for the final renovation stage to ensure that theater con-struction is completed by June.

On March 13, the Allegheny Central City Association held a meeting at the Allegheny Tra-ditional Academy to discuss the progress of the renovations un-derway in Central Northside.

According to the ACCA, the Garden Theater requires three more months of construction before turn-ing over to Domenic Branduzzi, the owner of the future restaurant at the same site called ARDE.

ARDE will move into the his-toric location upon completion of construction in June, when Bran-duzzi will renovate the interior building for three months to ac-commodate the designs for the res-taurant. The restaurant is scheduled to open in late September this year.

David Shlapak, the ACCA Development Committee Chair-man, provided a full update on the Garden Theater and other ongoing projects. Shlapak said that the Garden Theater façade is the focus of the construction plans for this spring, the results of which are already visible.

Allegheny City Market opens in place of Doug’s

By Alyse Horn

A new grocery store opened in the old location of Doug’s Market, which closed on December 7, 2013.

Rob Collins, owner of Bry-ant St. Market, 5901 Bryant St., said he planned to open Allegh-eny City Market at 1327 Arch. St. at the end of this month.

Collins said he decided to take on the location shortly af-ter Doug’s closed. Collins, who resides in Manchester, said the main reason for opening a sec-ond market was because of the

success from Bryant St. and be-cause he lives on the Northside.

Since acquiring the location in December, Collins said he has been making major renovations to the store and it will look significantly different compared to the old décor.

The market will stock regular items, as well as specialty items such as gluten free, organic and all natural products. Collins said simi-lar to Bryant St .Market, the Al-legheny City Market will also sell as many local products as possible.

Brian Spacht, a new branch man-ager at First National Bank in Ob-servatory Hill, 3908 Perrysville Ave., took the time to answer ques-

tions from The Northside Chroni-cle about his recent position and what he’s doing to improve rela-tions with the community and First National Bank.

Where did you go to college and what was your major?

I attended Lock Haven Uni-versity as an undergraduate to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Finance and Economics concen-tration. I then went to graduate school at Saint Francis University for my Masters in Business Ad-ministration, and was a member of the Delta Epsilon Sigma National Honors Society. I graduated with a GPA of 3.972.

I always enjoyed learning about finance and economics in both high school and college, so I knew that a banking career was in my future. Understanding eco-

nomics and finance not only helps me in my personal life, but also lets me assist customers in making the right decision.

Where is your hometown and what brought you to Pittsburgh?

I grew up in a small town called Halifax about 20 miles north of Harrisburg. I lived in Pittsburgh for about a year after graduating high school. I left Pittsburgh to further my education, but always knew that Pittsburgh would be home one day.

What led you to take over the position as branch man-ager at First National Bank in Observatory Hill?

Once I graduated I moved to Pittsburgh because of First Na-tional Bank’s presence in the Pitts-burgh market. After working in the North Hills for a brief period of time, I had the opportunity to work in the Northside and shortly after was offered a position to manage our Observatory Hill branch. I en-joy the culture, history, and people of the Northside.

When did you take over?

I started working as a Custom-er Service Representative at the Observatory Hill branch in June of 2013 and became the manager in November of 2013.

What previous experience do you have?

I have over five years of bank-ing experience and specialize in

consumer, business, and invest-ment banking. I have been with First National Bank for over three years and while going to school at Lock Haven I worked at Penn-sylvania State Employees Credit Union for two years.

What do you hope to accom-plish as branch manager?

As a branch manager I plan on carrying out First National Bank’s mission and vision through its core standards. Our vision is to be an industry leader in creating value for our customers, employees, shareholders and the communities we serve.

My mission is simple, and I plan to do the following:

-Help customers achieve econom-ic success and financial security by building enduring relationships based on trust and integrity.-Build a workforce where employ-ees can learn, grow and prosper as contributing members of a win-ning team.-Create long-term value for our shareholders.-Improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

I will build long lasting rela-tionships with customers, employ-ees, shareholders and the com-munities by embracing our core values; integrity, service, team-work, innovation, and winning.

What is a typical day like for you and what are your responsibilities at branch manager?

Being a branch manager re-quires me to wear many differ-

ent hats. My number one prior-ity throughout the day includes providing outstanding custom-er service to my customers. I am continuously trying to build on existing relationships and make sure that my existing customers are completely satis-fied by making them aware of the array of products and services First National Bank has to offer.

I spend a large portion of my day trying to build new relation-ships by being active in the com-munity and meeting with business owners, community organiza-tions, and individuals. Improving the quality of the community that I serve is also a priority of mine when it comes to my day-to-day operations.

Servicing my existing custom-ers, building new relationships, and giving back to the community is a typical day for me.

How do you like the job so far?

I love my current role and I have embraced the challenges set in front of me. Being an active member in the community and ex-panding on existing relationships, as well as building new relation-ships, is what I enjoy most about my new role.

Would you like to add anything else?

I would like to invite current customers as well as residents of the community to stop by the Ob-servatory Hill branch located at 3908 Perrysville Ave Pittsburgh PA 15214 on April 11, 2014 for our Appreciation Day.

Meet First National Bank Branch Manager Brian SpachtThe Observatory Hill First National Bank will have an Appreciation Day for

customers on April 11, 2014. Community residents are also welcome.


The Brightwood Public Safe-ty Committee honored a local hero with the Good Neighbor Award at its meeting Tuesday night at Presley Ridge, 2611 Stayton St.

On February 24 around 1 a.m., Paul Hinerman and his fi-ancé Angie Puhac were driv-ing near Route 65 when they happened to drive by a house that Puhac noticed was on fire.

Hinerman then stopped the car and rushed into the house to check for people, where he found Ralph Lowe Sr. asleep on the couch. Hiner-man then grabbed Lowe, who is partially blind, and rushed out of the house.

Joe Brown, a coordinator of the BPSC, gave Hinerman the award with Councilwoman Dar-lene Harris. Earlier Tuesday morn-

ing, Harris also gave a procla-mation at for the City Council.

Hinerman said he felt honored for the recogni-tion and to receive the award.

The BPSC meeting also an-swered questions to a shooting that occurred on the 1200 block of Woodland Avenue in February.

Lt. Dan Herrmann and Sgt. Timothy Westwood from the Pittsburgh police homicide department answered questions and concerns from residents at the meeting, clarifying that the shooting was not random.

Sgt. Westwood said the two men met for a drug deal on the 1200 block of Woodland Avenue, where a confronta-tion ensued and shots were fired killing one of the two men.

Sgt. Westwood also said that the case is solved and the suspect is in the pro-cess of being prosecuted.

After being demolished last January, a Pennsylvania Histori-cal Marker has been approved for the grounds where St. Nicho-las Croatian Church once stood.

Historical Marker Pro-gram Coordinator Karen Galle, from the Pennsylvania Histori-cal and Museum Commission, said the location for the mark-er will be at 1326 E. Ohio St. and 30 yards above Route 28.

Galle said the Preserve Croa-tian Heritage Foundation nomi-nated the historical marker for consideration, which “was ap-proved because of the subject’s national significance as the first Croatian Roman Catholic Church in the western hemisphere.”

“The marker will also men-tion the significance of the Croa-tian community,” Galle said.

The organization that nomi-nates a historical marker must also obtain permission for installation. Once permission is granted and the required paperwork is submit-ted, the PA Historical and Museum Commission can finalize the text for the marker and order it, then install and dedicate the marker.

Susan Petrick, secretary for Preserve Croatian Heritage Foun-dation, said the marker will ac-company a concrete panel wall that will be sandblasted with in-terpretive images. The last panel will be a sandblasted image of St. Nicholas Croatian Church.

The other images included on the panels will be Thomas Carlin’s Sons Foundry, a silhouette of Troy Hill with canal boat in tow, Josip Marohnic Bookstore, Allegheny In-stitute and Mission Church, “Avery College,” and Pittsburgh Allegh-eny and Manchester Traction Co.

Petrick said that PennDOT is installing the panels, and there will be an octagon seating area near the panels and a memorial path that will encompass the Riv-er Trail to the 31st Street Bridge.

Petrick said the project should be complete in late fall of this year.

The PCHF still want to pre-serve Croatian heritage in the

area and will continue to have a Memorial Day service, as well as pay for the historical marker. The Memorial Day ceremony is set for May 26 at 11:30 a.m. at the St. Nicholas Cemetery on Hahn Road.

The next PCHF Execu-tive and General Meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 6 at Javor Hall, 805 East Street.

Allegheny City Market opens

store is proving to be a challenge, “but we’re going to try and pack as much stuff as we can” into the store.

Because of the lack of space, fresh produce will be limited.

Collins encourages North-sider’s to stop by and see how things are coming along.

Doug Nimmo, owner of the market, said the lack of business was the main factor in deciding to close. He had the store for 18 years.

The building was estab-lished in 1895 and has housed a number of butchers and grocers for the community.

In 1995, Nimmo was work-

ing at Brilliance Market when he found out his future store was for sale. As the story goes, one night over a glass of wine he was talking to friend Randy Gilson about how it would be “cool” to own the store and Gilson told him, “just do it.”

After taking out a loan and putting everything on the line, he did.

“We had a heck of a thing going for many, many years,” Nimmo said.

Nimmo said the week lead-ing up to the store closing was extremely emotional with a lot of hugs and tears, but it’s time for him to slow down a little bit and enjoy life.

Northsiders looking to pick up fresh locally grown grocery prod-ucts year round may look no further.

The Penn’s Corner Farm Alliance Farm Stand makes a stop in the Northside at the Children’s Museum of Pitts-burgh, 10 Children’s Way, be-tween 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. ev-ery other Monday, year round.

Shoppers must pre-order the products they wish to pick up before going to the Chil-dren’s Museum, as Penn’s Corner Farm Alliance only collects what has been ordered from the farmers and brings said items to the Farm Stand pickups.

Lydia Vanderhill, Farm Stand coordinator for Penn’s Cor-ner Farm Alliance, said in an email that “hundreds of prod-ucts are available from local

farmers including meats, cheeses, vegetables, fruit, eggs, grains and much more!”

“All folks need to do is log

on to our online storefront to place an order the week before the pickup,” Vanderhill said.

Catering to those with smart

phones, Vanderhill said there is also a mobile app so people can order more easily from their mobile devises. To down-load the free mobile app, search for Penn’s Corner Farm Stand in your app store.

According to the Penn’s Corner Farm Alliance website, custom-ers are asked to enter credit card information to place their order but the credit card will not be charged until the order is picked up to ensure that custom-ers are only paying for exact-ly what they are taking home.

Customers can also choose to pay with check or cash upon pickup, but still need to enter credit card information upon ordering online. If paying with cash or check, the cred-it card will not be charged.

Due to inclement weather in February and March, the ma-jor renovation of the auditorium at the back of the building was temporarily delayed. The de-molition of a large wall in the theater was also postponed un-til weather conditions improve.

Despite the setbacks, Shlapak assures Central Northside residents that “the Garden Theater is finally moving ahead according to plan.”

The Development Com-mittee also hopes to establish more renovation projects in the upcoming year. One of these projects includes the Masonic Temple on 12 W. North Ave.

Shlapak is happy to announce that the United States Park Service recently approved the ACCA’s plan to begin the renovations for the Masonic Temple within the next few months – a critical step in the process because “the Park Service’s approval was needed to release the historic tax credits re-quired to redevelop the building,” Shlapak said. The United States

Park Service will oversee the de-velopers to make sure that they re-tain the historicity of the building.

With the funding process com-pleted and official approval ob-tained, the Masonic Temple will stand anew as a building for the City of Asylum art foundation. City of Asylum plans to establish Al-phabet City in the renovated build-ing, a place where local writers can congregate to share stories and at-tend events at a café and bookstore.

Following the renovations of the Garden Theater and the Ma-sonic Temple, the ACCA hopes to redevelop two other proper-ties just around the corner on 1113 and 1115 Federal Street.

The buildings on 1113 and 1115 Federal Street were par-tially renovated a few years ago by a private developer, but the Urban Redevelopment Author-ity of Pittsburgh is working with the ACCA to begin a secondary renovation of both properties. The official development plan will be finished by the end of March.

“It’s been a long haul, but we’re moving along,” Shlapak said.

Andy Warhol fans, unite- the Warhol Museum, 117 Sandusky St., celebrates its 20th birthday with several big events this May.

On May 17th, the celebration kicks off with the black tie 20th Anniversary Gala at the museum at 6 p.m. for pre-ordered ticket holders.

Gala attendees will have an exclusive preview of the newly reinstalled permanent collection on all seven floors of the Warhol Museum, as well as a special preview of the new exhibition, “Halson and War-hol: Silver and Suede.”

Following the preview, attend-ees can enjoy dinner and finish the night with live entertainment provided by the popular NYC-based DJ duo, AndrewAndrew.

Gala festivities continue through 12 a.m., May 18th, when the Warhol Museum opens its doors to the public for Com-munity Day – free of charge. AndrewAndrew will con-tinue to perform until 2 a.m.

Community Day runs continu-ously from 12 a.m. until 5 p.m., featuring free public programs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., spon-

sored by the Benter Foundation.Participants can learn War-

hol’s studio techniques in the free arts program or attend a pub-lic talk and book signing by Bob Colacello, author of “Holy Ter-ror: Andy Warhol Close-Up.”

Community Day attendees will also be able to visit the new “Halson and Warhol: Silver and Suede” exhibition on the sec-ond floor gallery free of charge. According to its website, “Sil-ver and Suede” examines the interconnected artworks and lives of Halston and War-hol during their years liv-ing in Manhattan as icons in the art and fashion industries.

Deputy Director Patrick Moore anticipates an excellent turnout

for the events, especially for the public programs host-ed by the Education Depart-ment on Community Day.

“The Education Department will teach visitors how to do silk-screen printings, which is how Andy made his paintings,” Moore said. “People love to take home the artwork they cre-ate at the museum.”

The Warhol’s 20th anniversary not only commemorates the accom-plishments and life of artist Andy Warhol, but also the positive impact of the museum on the surround-ing Northside neighborhoods.

“The Northside has been transforming for decades, and the Warhol Museum serves as a tourist attraction for out-of-town

visitors and Pittsburgh residents, which was always part of the mu-seum’s mission,” Moore said.

To bring more attention to Northside, the museum plans to move its café into the main lobby, where food and art are more ac-cessible to local residents – a proj-ect that Moore believes will ben-efit the surrounding neighborhood.

In the next twenty years, Moore wants the museum “to continue to reach out to people in Pittsburgh, and nationally.” The Warhol Museum plans to cre-ate an annex in New York City, but the headquarters of the mu-seum will always be in Pittsburgh.

Presented by the Allegheny Historic Preservation Society, The Tiffany Concert Series at Cal-vary United Methodist Church continued into its 22nd sea-son with Fascinating Sounds at 4 p.m. on March 23.

Fascinating Sounds was a performance by the Afro-American Institute Boys’ Choir.

President of AHPS San-dra Pack said the AAMI Boys’ Choir has traveled throughout the country and won various awards for their performances.

In June 2011, the Boys’ Choir won first place at the National Boys’ Choir Conven-tion in Louisville, Ky.

The AAMI Boys’ Choir per-forms a variety of musical genres, such as black art music blues, gospel, pop, spiritual and jazz.

“[They are] a wonderful group of aspiring boys who are developing their talent and the community is receiving it in a wonderful way,” Pack said.

The concert series will end with its last performance at 4

p.m. on April 27 with “Harper-cussion,” which is a Fusion of the Royal Sounds of Harp and Percussion by C2 Duet Claire Jones and Chris Marshall.

Jones, who is also married to Marshall, was the official Harpist to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales from 2007 to 2011 and performed at the Royal Wedding for the Duke and Duchess of Cam-bridge at Buckingham Palace.

Marshall is a percussion-ist and composer who has trav-elled extensively perform-ing in popular shows and in concerts with leading orchestras and world music groups globally.

Pack said this show is go-ing to be particularly popu-lar, as Jones performed for The Tiffany Concert Series last year to a full house of about 300 people.

The first performance that kicked off the series was in September. The performers were Two Sides of Celtic- The Masters of the Celtic Harp.

The performances, which are held at Calvary United

Methodist Church, are titled The Tiffany Concert Series be-cause of the Tiffany windows that surround the auditorium.

Pack said that AHPS, a non-denominational and nonprofit organization, was created in 1988 to save some of Pitts-burgh’s most notable religious architecture. Calvary Church was chosen as the first project because of the globally recognized artis-tic value of the Tiffany windows.

The windows were de-signed by Louis Comfort Tif-fany, and the windows at Calvary Church are some of the largest and most intricate he produced.

The Tiffany Concert Se-ries is one of a number of proj-ects sponsored by the AHPS to raise funds for the restoration of the 118-year-old his-toric landmark Calvary United Methodist Church.

Tickets for the events will be sold at the door, but Pack ad-vises purchasing tickets ahead of time. Call 412-323-1070 for more information or visit www.calvarypgh.com/index.php/mu-sic-arts/tiffany-recital-series.

Pittsburgh neighborhoods take center stage in the first epi-sode of the new television crime drama, A&E’s “Those Who Kill” – the first prime-time crime dra-ma to be filmed and based en-tirely in Western Pennsylvania.

Pittsburgh Homicide De-tective Catherine Jensen (Chloe Sevigny) lives and breathes criminal investiga-tion as a rookie police officer.

Jensen’s obsession with crime scenes drives her to in-vestigate the towering Carrie Furnaces along the Mononga-hela River in Rankin, where she discovers four murder victims hidden in the furnace vents.

Recently named a National Historic Landmark in 2006, ac-cording to its website, the Car-rie Furnaces provide the high degree of eeriness and mystery that define “Those Who Kill.”

After work, Jensen re-tires to her Spring Hill con-dominium, where Downtown Pittsburgh and Northside light up the night from her porch.

The show progresses when Jensen teams up with forensic psychologist Thomas Schaef-fer (James D’Arcy) to track down a missing student from the Community College of Allegheny County.

Jensen and Schaeffer work together in subsequent epi-sodes, where their personal histories come to the forefront of their investigations with the backdrop of Pittsburgh.

Stay tuned for the next few episodes, which showcase the Mexican War Streets, the old Carnegie Library at Allegheny Center, and other Northside haunts.

Painting 90 Pittsburgh neighborhoodsLast summer Ron Donoughe,

a Pittsburgh artist, decided to start a year-long journey around the 90 neighborhoods in the city and document what he saw through painting.

Donoughe, who has been painting since 1986, said he has done other long term projects of this kind where he immerses himself in an area, but chose this series simply because “Pittsburgh is what I love and where I live.”

So far Donoughe has com-pleted 55 neighborhoods, with one of his favorites being of an alleyway in the Mexican War

Streets in Central Northside.On his blog, Donoughe ex-

plained the reason for choosing the alley for the painting was be-cause “A lot of folks walk these tiny streets and I liked the extreme depth, not to mention the power-ful shadow that framed the scene.”

Donoughe said the great part about doing these paintings is dis-covering areas he has never been to and exploring remote areas.

“I thought I knew Pittsburgh, but really I didn’t,” Donoughe said.

Along with beauty in un-expected places, Donoughe said interacting with the resi-dents is a large part of the fun.

“One thing I’ve noticed wher-ever I go in Pittsburgh is that

people are really proud of their neighborhoods and [the city] in general,” Donoughe said. “People are more than willing to help me try to figure out what to paint.”

One thing Donoughe admit-ted is that more paintings than he anticipated are featuring snow, which also makes for unfavorable painting conditions as he physical-ly goes to each location to paint.

When Donoughe found the lo-cation he wanted to paint in Mount Washington, he had to hike down a hill with all of his painting gear in

15 degree weather. After two hours his toes and hands were numb.

“It’s been a brutal, tough win-ter,” Donoughe said. “I’ll be glad when the warmer weather is here.”

Once all 90 neighborhoods are complete, Donoughe said his goal is to have an exhibition at the Pittsburgh Center of the Arts. He said there is a chance the paintings will then be sold, but he wants to try and keep the lot together.

Phase three of Columbus Square development to begin

By Alyse Horn

As soon as weather permits, phase three of Columbus Square will be underway, with two of the five homes to be built already reserved.

Sally Flinn, partner and director of development for Fourth River Development, said these five homes will add to the nine that currently exist as part of phase three. The overall plan for Columbus Square calls for 31 homes to be built.

“The weather, the continuous cold temperatures and frozen ground has delayed us a bit,” Flinn said. “Although, we do have foundations permits in hand, equipment on site and property lines staked to begin as soon as we can.”

Flinn said the first four homes could be available as early as the end of July 2014, and that generous tax abatement programs from the City, School and County are available.

The homes that are still available are two three-bedroom townhomes located at 1240 and 1244 Juniata Street, and a four-bedroom home at 1252 Juniata Street.

“The Urban Redevelopment Authority also offers a second deferred mortgage for eligible buyers, so there are

plenty of incentives to buy at Columbus Square,” Flinn said.

Each home comes with a full two-car garage with additional parking space in the driveway, as well as energy efficient appliances and construction methodologies.

The Fourth River Development 31-home project is in collaboration with Manchester Citizen’s Corporation and is funded by the state, PNC Bank, the Northside Community Development Fund and the URA.

The first phase of Columbus Square was completed in 2012, and the second phase was completed in the summer of 2013.

In a past Northside Chornicle article, Jerome Jackson, former executive director of the Manchester Citizens Corporation, said the total cost of the project will be between $14 and $15 million.

The Columbus Square project involves the conversion of the salvaged, four-acre American Electric site on the corner of Columbus Avenue and Sedgwick Street in upper Manchester into a single-family housing development.

For more information on pricing and features of the homes, visit www.c o l u m b u s s q u a r e p i t t s b u r g h . c o m .

Survey crews have completed establishing the property lines residences at 1240 and 1244 Juniata Street and 1211 Columbus Avenue, and excavating will start in early April.

Avery Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church, 3403 California Avenue, has a new pastor who has been “breathing life into the church.”

Rebecca Calhoun, a member of the congregation at A.M.E Zion Church, said that Dina L. Martin has been doing “mighty work” and that the congregation is overjoyed having Martin with the church.

Martin said she was ap-pointed to the church by Bishop Louis Hunter in November 2013.

She gave her first sermon in 2000, but Martin said her fa-ther always knew she would spread the word of the Lord along with the rest of his children.

“At least 20 or 25 years ago my father got a prophetic word

from God that all of his kids would preach,” Martin said. “At the time we found that notion preposterous and laughable.”

Today, all three of her broth-ers are ordained ministers and pastors, as well as her husband. Reverend Vincent Martin, Mar-tin’s husband of 32 years, is a pastor at the Holliday Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church in Braddock.

“Not so funny now,” Martin said.When she isn’t in the church,

Martin is working her full-time job as a student services and cus-tomer service assistant at Child Care Lounge and also assists with the care of her handicap sister.

Martin said she also has three biological sons, two adopted daughters, two daughters in law school and 10 grandchildren.

Martin said the most re-warding part of being a pas-tor is how “the Lord would even consider using me in this way.”

“Pastoring is not a ‘good idea,’ it is a call from God that must be meted out under the anoint-ing and grace that is given with the call,” Martin said. “Otherwise you’ll be exhausted and stressed out under your own strength.”

Martin said with the warmer weather on its way, she is look-ing forward to spending time with the Brighton Heights Body of Christ community and prepar-ing for Vacation Bible School.

“Praise Break” is the theme of bible school this year, and will be held during the last week of June on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

Avery Memorial A.M.E. Zion welcomes new PastorBy Alyse Horn

Can you imagine having your buying power cut in half?

Across America, this has grad-ually happened to people working at minimum wage jobs, even as more adults, many with families, fill these positions.

In 1963, an hour of work at the minimum wage allowed an em-ployee to buy 7.6 loaves of bread. Today, a person earning the mini-mum wage can buy less than half that amount of bread.

That fact illustrates how far the working poor have fallen behind

-- even as the many others have benefited from record highs in the stock market – and underscores the need for lawmakers to take action to increase the minimum wage.

Legislation I have co-spon-sored, H.B. 1896, would increase Pennsylvania’s current minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $9 per hour and then to $10.10 per hour a year later.

This legislation would help raise families out of poverty and boost our economy.

Increasing the minimum wage

to $10.10 per hour would increase the annual earnings of a full-time worker by more than $5,900 to $21,008. For a single mother with two children who works 40 hours per week, this would get her family above the poverty line, which is $19,530 for a household of three.

It also would reduce the fam-ily’s reliance on government ser-vices. One only needs to look at fast-food restaurants, which often pay minimum wage, to see that this is true. About 40 percent of

fast food-workers receive about $3.8 billion in government aid.

By raising the minimum wage, I also believe we can help our economy. Most workers making minimum wage need their pay-checks just to make ends meet. They don’t save their money be-cause they can’t. Their paychecks go immediately back into the economy.

Raising the minimum wage may also benefit businesses by re-ducing staff turnover and increas-ing productivity.

Recently there was a televi-sion program on the “intelligence of plants.” Plants, unlike animals do not have brains. At least as of

2014 we do not think they have brains. Who knows for certain!

Plants, like all inanimate forms might, unbeknownst to us, might have memories. If so per-haps houses do as well. For the past few decades, having lived in older North Side neighborhoods within the walls of century old

home I have often wondered what stories these walls might tell. In recent years many homeowners in historic sections of the city have called upon the won-derful services of Carol Peter-son, house historian, to find out who built and who lived in their homes. Carol has, indeed, be-come the “speaker for the house.”

The focus of historic preserva-tion, in its most narrow sense, is on buildings, but, in a broader sense, it can be on the social history of the family, the community, and the city where the house is located.

Carol’s work is that of an his-torical archeologist and social his-torian. Her research on a house by house process can indeed help us, in the 21st century; gain a bet-ter knowledge and understanding of what life was like in the 19th

century and early 20th centuries. Many, probably most, of the

house histories researched and written by Carol are not of the elegant mansions and manses of Pittsburgh’s “glory days.” They are of the homes on the North Side, Lawrenceville, Friend-ship, and other neighborhoods where middle class and working class families lived for decades.

Years ago, an art supervisor in the Pittsburgh Public Schools, Joseph Fitzpatrick, would come into our art room at John Mor-row School and regularly remind us to “Look to See to Remember.”

That thought is often in my mind as I look at the housing stock in many North Side com-munities. But it becomes even more significant whenever I read one of Peterson’s house histo-

ries. Her works are the wonder-ful social story of the people who once lived in what we of-ten just call an “old house.”

Bit by bit these house histo-ries tell the story of a neighbor-hood and how it changed over time. Collectively they help us to better understand the story of Pittsburgh and her neighborhoods.In reading and rereading the recent work Allegheny City : A History of Pittsburgh’s North Side au-thored by Carol Peterson and Dan Rooney, I became more aware of how much of the research for lo-cal house histories, helps us better appreciate how we, as a commu-nity, became what we are today.

Carol Peterson has indeed told us what we can’t hear from the house alone. She is, indeed, the “speaker for the house.”
