 CITY There are some things that mean Pittsburgh.” Someone just has to say one word and Pittsburgh automatically comes to mind. For. example, the fountain; what do you visualize? A warm day. tossing around a frisbee. listening to music. Point State Park, or whatever memory that you come up with! How about Market Square? Do you see hungry pigeons, empty benches, or Burger King take out? Jenkin s Arcade is another example. It never seemed to be out of your way to casually stroll through it while in town on a shopping spree. It seemed to be the perfect place to meet friends after taking different buses into town. It wasn't like a shopping mall — it had it's own style. The things you remember will be the only memories you have of Jen-kin’s Arcade. For it is gone now — a landmark in itself, torn down. It will be replaced by a sleek, shiny, new building that will coincide with the age of technology and the future. Renaissance has a way of wiping out the past, but it also inspires new memories to treasure!

 y; : H, burghers v aI-'.V, vV ; When people think of Mew York City, the vision of a subway usually comes up. The underground walls layered with multicolored masses of graffiti, the derelicts lurking in the corners, and the stale stench. The frequent muggings are so common that others usually overlook them. These images paint an ugly picture of subways. The city of Pittsburgh is in the process of building a subway. Pittsburghers have not been con- fronted with any hassles of this sort yet. The main problem caused by the construction of the subway is detours and traffic. The tearing up of Pittsburgh's streets has produced noise and dust-filled walkways for pedestrians. The building of a subway is keeping the city of Pittsburgh up with the times. It is a big advance for public transportation. Hopefully, our subway will reflect upon the good people of Pittsburgh!
