DESCRIPTION
2016 Media KitTRANSCRIPT
THE LIMITS OF FREE SPEECHAfter a falling out with his community, a North Hills resident has taken to trolling his neighbors a la Westboro Baptist Church protest signs. We spoke with the ACLU, local political rights activists and a lot of angry neighbors to ask the question, “how far can he take this thing?”
MOST WANTED SMASHED CARWe sat down for a chat with Jason Sauer and his crew at Pittsburgh’s Most Wanted Fine Art gallery in Garfield as they prepare to decorate and ultimately destroy their current project. A cross-country drive to smash a car in a classic American folk tradition, the demolition derby. Art Stuff, Car Stuff, Pittsburgh Stuff.
CHEAP, FANCY, BOOZE!You’re broke and you can’t mix a decent drink. That’s okay. Each issue we speak with Pittsburgh bartenders, baristas, distillers, and mixologists to come up with drinks for a party of 12 for under 100 bucks. This issue features the likes of Wigle Whiskey, Artisan Cafe, and Caffe d’Amore.
An alternative magazine covering intriguing community stories in and around Pittsburgh. Community News, Event Coverage, Music and Entertainment is found both in our print
pages as well as our E-Magazine @ SteelThisMag.com
