SPECIAL
FREE EVENT
Sunday
November 1, 2:00 to 5:00 pm
Trader
Joe’s Building, Penn Ave, Village of Eastside
Wine,
cheese, and entertainment will be provided
To
kick off a major historical festival planned for 2010, the East End/East
Liberty Historical Society will hold a special public event which will feature
presentations of old photos, postcards, artifacts, and other memorabilia about
East Liberty and Highland Park. This event is free and open to the
public. Long-time East End resident
George Clark and others will exhibit some of their unique
collections.
The
Trader Joe’s building housed the East Liberty Post Office prior to the
redevelopment of the 1960s. We will
show photographs of the building before and after renovation. Our event will be held in the vacant
store space next to Relax the Back, which is adjacent to the Trader Joe’s
store. Ample free parking is
available.
Since
the publication of our book Pittsburgh's
East Liberty Valley,
numerous people have told us that they have additional historical information or
materials to share. If you have anything you might be willing to display
or a story to relate at this event, please get in touch with me. All items
will of course be returned after the program. This is an opportunity to
help our community by preserving our wonderful heritage.
At
the November 1 event, we will also be asking people to sign up to help organize
the 2010 East Liberty festival. If
you cannot attend the meeting, I would still appreciate hearing from you to
indicate your willingness to help.
Thank you.
