The mayoral primary, May 21, 2013, will ultimately be the deciding vote for Pittsburgh's next mayor. And because we live in a highly regressive state known as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that means only registered Democrats will have a determining voice in who the next mayor will be. I have sent in a change of party status temporarily so I can vote in this most important primary. It has been over 15 years since I was a registered Democrat so that shows how important I believe this race will be.
A current list of candidates can be found here. Of particular note are Democratic candidates Bill Peduto and Michael Lamb, who declared before Ravenstahl withdrew.
You have until April 22, 2013 to register to vote and I'm assuming that means any changes in your registration as well.
The deadline for in-person voter registration is 30 days prior to each primary or election. Registration-by-mail forms must be postmarked no later than the voter registration deadline in order to be processed for the upcoming primary or election.

Pittsburgh and Braddock Murals, New Website PghMurals.com
Pittsburgh and Braddock Murals: I especially like when they do the more in-depth looks at the murals which tend to justify more information, just click on the more info icon once you have selected a mural. Great project!
Now all we need is a more balanced and varied approach to the types of mural/public art in the region in terms of language, subject matter and mediums.
