Not long ago Pittsburgh was a city that travelers described as, “hell with the lid off” (Madrigal). The smoke was so thick that it looked to be midnight when it was really only noon. While many can no longer relate to what it felt like walking through this city, those few students who have ventured into the Armstrong Tunnel that runs under campus have described emerging in a layer of filth. No one wants to take a walk and become coated in a sheet of soot by the time they reach their destination

"That's why some of the people we encountered turned at an incredibly slow rate," I explained, almost having to stop the vehicle in my eureka moment. "What do you mean?" Dean asked

Today, I am going to speak about the affordable housing in Pittsburgh .First let me tell about why the affordable housing is preferred. People who live in affordable housing today want safe, decent housing for the same reasons that we all do. The reasons are mainly to provide a nurturing environment to raise their children.

Snowmobiling on Priest Mountain In late May I never pictured myself carving a highmark on Priest Mountain. Priest Mountain is nestled on the east edge of the Grand Mesa National Forest. Deep sugary snow and feathery blue spruce trees cover the mountain and the area around. One fine day it occurred that I had the opportunity to carve my highmark and I still I have the mental image of my territory after that day. Even before that day, Priest has left a impression on me. Priest Mountain, for me, has been
