Homewood ponders Coliseum reuse  

The Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has called on the Homewood Collaborative to choose the best of four potential reuses of the Greater Pittsburgh Coliseum.

​

The building, a former trolley car barn, is now closed. The four finalists for the reuse have proposed; a roller rink and entertainment center; a mall with a theater and museum that would also have programs for entrepreneurs who want to start retail businesses and restaurants; a marketplace with two restaurants, eight to 12 food stalls, a grocer and a cooking school, along with personal services such as a salon; and a machine shop to make prototypes for businesses.

A note on our coverage during the Covid-19 pandemic: Print has made it through the pandemic, which we did not know that we would be able to do, but we are seeking new income streams for our family, because this is not making enough money for us to live on. Therefore, as we odd job our way out of this mess Print is not rushing back to publish more frequently, which means we are staying monthly for the time being. The most recent edition was published on May 19. The next issue is planned for June 16. If that changes, we will let you know in this space here and on our Facebook page.  Thanks for sticking with us. Our plan is to keep slowly publishing as we emerge from this pandemic, if we ever do. Please be safe and healthy.
