 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!

Before, when it was the grand and luxurious Schenley Hotel; a gathering place for the socially elite and the ‘ beautiful people , like Lillian Russell. Diamond Jim” Brady and President Theodore Roosevelt. The grand ballroom was restored to its original elegance in a Louis XV design. The parlour of Lillian Russel now stands as it did when she resided at the Schenley Hotel. The archwork throughout the new Student Union acts as a symbol of the new building as well as truly topping off the combination of the old with the And how impressive are those new designs. The lower level, which was the old basement, now houses a T.V. room in which the Pitt Program Council presents videos, a game room with 13 pool tables and video games and a cafeteria large and spacious enough to seat 200 people.
