Comment on End of the Line for Gateway Center by Matt Santoni

Well, I’d actually hoped I’d hear back from the illustrious Father Pitt via email for a story I was writing for Saturday’s Tribune-Review… some of these musings might’ve made for good reading on paper as well.

In addition to the quirks you mention, the station houses Port Authority’s buried treasure: the $15 million Romare Bearden mural “Pittsburgh Recollections,” for which the authority is still raising money to reinstall at the new station.

Alas, you’re the only person (blog?) I found in nearly a week of seeking who expressed any pride or interest in that strange, dark little station. Aside from this entry and my article tomorrow, I wonder if the old Gateway Center Station will have slipped away into history, unheralded and unloved.

I always loved that view, and the one from the little bridge in between Carnegie and Glendale. Everything’s so gorgeous right now! Great shot.
