I cannot wait to visit this local bookstore. The owners are full-time criminal defense attorneys who stumbled across The Tiny Bookstore’s location in 2018 while looking for new office space. Thank you Pittsburgh City Paper for this feature! https://www.pghcitypaper.com//black-led-community/Content

Today is Veteran's Day in the United States. Most people usually thank a Veteran, but this year I want to suggest that you support a Veteran instead. Who do you know that could use a call, a visit, a gift? If you own a business, consider hiring a veteran. One way to help is by supporting Pittsburgh Hires Veterans...it's a great organization!

Very nice to see Pittsburgh-based career coach Greg Emslie A More Perfect Career quoted in this article for parents from Your Teen for Parents: When students go to college enrolled in majors they love and are good at, they have better self-confidence, less anxiety, get better grades and tend to graduate on time, If you can eliminate the trap 60% of students fall into, which is a fifth-year and another $20,000-plus, this gap year could turn out to be a wise investment for you and your family. -Greg Emslie https://yourteenmag.com/coronavirus/gap-year-activities

Let's remember what this is really all about, shall we? #election2020 #leadership #ElectionResults

If you live in the City of Pittsburgh, here is where you can recycle political signs: With election season is coming to an end the Department of Public Works, in conjunction with the Clean Pittsburgh Commission, recently announced an opportunity for residents to take their civic engagement to the next level by recycling their campaign yard signs after this year’s general election. Drop off locations will be available at three Department of Public Works Divisions across the C...ity of Pittsburgh. Drop offs will be accessible Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. 2 p.m. and will run from November 4th through December 4th. Both the plastic film and the metal stands that make up election campaign signs are recyclable. Participants must sperate the materials before dropping off at one of the City’s Division location It is hard to drive on any street and not notice at least one campaign sign, said Omoye Aikhuele, City of Pittsburgh Recycling Specialist and member of the Clean Pittsburgh Commission. These signs cannot be collected through the curbside recycling program, and unfortunately, most of them will end up at the landfill or as litter. Offering drop off locations will minimize waste and allow us to capture these materials; both of which can be recycled through special programs. Three Department of Public Works Division Drop-Off Centers will be available from 6 a.m 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. They are: East End Drop-Off Center 2nd Division of Public Works 6814 Hamilton Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15208 412-665-3609 Hazelwood Drop-Off Center 3rd Division of Public Works 40 Melanchton St., Pittsburgh, PA 15207 412-422-6524 West End Drop-Off Center 5th Division of Public Works 1330 Hassler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15220 412-937-3054 Residents can visit https://pittsburghpa.gov/dpw/yard-sign-recycling for more information.

Want to responsibly recycle household chemicals or unwanted or broken items such as TVs, computer monitors, paint, bulbs, batteries, AC units, microwaves? The City of Pittsburgh is offering a recycling event on November 7th from 9am to 1pm at Heritage Trail on the South Side.
