    Every now and again, I'll take a walk through this park, one that is located directly behind Arsenal Shool, prior to showing up for work. In the mornings, it can be quite serene, so much so that the murmuring birds and insects can make you forget that you're in one of Pittsburgh's most frolicsome communities. The cars and trucks that rumble up and down Butler Street cannot be heard amidst the chirping of small, fluffy, wholesome rodents of various shapes, sizes, and colors. Aside from the odd jogger or passerby, it almost seems remote until you catch sight of the sleepy rowhouses to your left...or the cannon, which serves as a cast-iron reminder of bloody battles fought long ago. Arsenal Park: One of our dear city's most pleasurable shortcuts. She could use some sprucing up, however. The rusty fences and graffitti tags sadden me. P.S. I once played a fairly brutal game of Sunday morning flag football here about 8 years ago. I assume it was my "initiation" of sorts as I had just began my tenure with my current employer. The manner in which my co-workers all ran for their lives from me like frightened lambs after weeks and weeks of juvenile shit-talking was humorously pathetic and therefore priceless.

    I came to run the other day at the park, and I was pretty disappointed by how much snow was covering the park! Layers and layers of snow, icy swamps and the whole park look very bad to even a little walk in.

    Absolutely incredible…read more I don't go to botanical gardens much so I don't really have qualifications to compare or rate any particular place but Phipps blew me away. I like plants. I have some. I thought seeing a bunch of plants might be fun but I wasn't expecting it to be such a wonderful experience! The place is quite large considering most of it is inside. It is organized for a few different environments and a little something for everyone depending on what your floral preferences might be. It took us about an hour and a half to go through the whole thing. Got a lot of pictures. Saw a lot of interesting and cool plants as well as beautiful flowers. Highly recommend this as a stop on any and every Pittsburgh trip.

    Pgh Candle & Phipps partnered for an evening at Botany Hall…read more We selected our scented oils and were able to create our own soy candles. The vessel was a lovely shade of green and had some weight. Simple instructions for those of us who were not-crafty. While our candles were solidifying, we were able to go see the Spring show. Lovely evening. Definitely would do again.
