Wednesday: Sparkle, Sparkle!

A month after battering the design as bland and too mall-like, planning commission members voted unanimously in favor of the project after architects tweaked certain elements to address their concerns. (P-G, Mark Belko)

  2. Pat Dowd - after watching your performance in Council today (WED 7th of May)all I can say is grow up.

    Nice move trying to hang 4 other members out to dry with your self serving nonsense. You go on and on about pricipals and then you tank and abstain. Grow up, smell the coffee, read a book. Do something instead of pontificating.

    If you had any principals at all you would have voted no. Instead you carped at the other members for hours and then got back up there and rode the fence you usually like to sit on.

    More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Comet.
