Know-It-All: The Cathedral of Learning | Pittsburgh Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of construction on the Cathedral of Learning, the 42-story Gothic tower that has anchored Pitt’s campus — and Oakland’s skyline — since ground broke in 1926. Chancellor John Bowman envisioned a “tall building” that would double as a civic symbol; thousands of local schoolchildren helped fund it, mailing in dimes through the “Buy a Brick for Pitt” campaign. Architect Charles Klauder spent two years on the design, working to blend the ambition of
The Savvy Yinzer's Guide to: Babushka Life | Pittsburgh Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
And when I say babushka, I mean a sweet little old grandma who always says I’m too skinny and then stuffs food into my mouth till I burst. But I also mean the headscarf she wears when it’s cold or when her hair isn’t done-up. (What is she hiding under there, anyway?)

Here are four quick kitchen fixes that turn everyday odds and ends into something worth serving. Combine equal parts sugar and water (one cup of each, for instance) in a saucepan with a handful of spices, citrus peel or herbs (mint, rosemary, ginger, lavender). Simmer until sugar dissolves, then let steep off-heat for 15–20 minutes. Strain and store
The Savvy Yinzer's Guide to: Chipped Chopped Ham | Pittsburgh Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
True confession: The Savvy Yinzer didn’t grow up in Pittsburgh. But he is married to a native Pittsburgher who grew up on chipped chopped ham. If you ever try to order it at a deli counter outside western Pennsylvania, the baffled person behind the counter will likely offer you regular sliced ham instead, genuinely unsure what you’re asking for. Chipped chopped ham isn’t a generic deli product — it’s paper-thin, almost feathery shavings of goodness that cascade softly on your sammich when proper
