Help Restore the Randyland Map on the North Side, Kickstarter Campain Til July 22, 2014
Randy Gilson is a great person who has done a tremendous amount to beautify the North Side for over 18 years! Help him renovate the North Side map on the Randyland Building!
This year, I'd like to focus on refreshing and restoring the map of
the Northside on the Jacksonia Street face of the Randyland yellow
building.
This is one of the main attractions of the building and it has become
outdated and has been worn down and beaten by the weather. Many of the
labels have faded or peeled off. Much of the paint has worn off and many
other pieces and markers have been lost.

City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Building Inspection Threatens Lawsuit to Remove Lawrenceville Urban Garden Fence
This happened specifically in Lawrenceville at the corner of 52nd St and Holmes across from the 52nd Street Market. It appears that the Bureau of Building Inspection received "enough" resident complaints that the inspector cited "aesthetic" reasons and no other code violation along with a possible lawsuit if the pallets were not removed. My call is that "they" didn't want to deal with the complaints any more.
One of the complaints was a resident who called in and complained about a strong manure smell but none was ever used. It turned out to be a neighbor who let their garbage go rancid.
People are encouraged to complain via 311.
Note: The owner of the lot was not involved in the construction of the pallet garden. The above photo was taken in the middle of deconstruction and as of now the lot has been cleared.

Bill Curry Art Scam, emadamirudo1@gmail.com
This person was a little more creative with his approach.
1st Email:
Hi,
I'm Bill Curry from California. I was going through your works and my eyes
caught this particular piece,I want to purchase it as I am moving to a new
apartment next month. Kindly let me know if you still have the piece
available and also let me know it's final price and more information about
it. I will be waiting to read from you.
Regards,
Bill.
2nd Email:
Thanks for your prompt reply. I would prefer 12" x 16".
Unfortunately, I'm on my way to France on an official trip(I'm a marketing
Executive) and wont be back for another two weeks.
If you'd like to know, I'm relocating to South Africa soon and I'm trying
to gather some good stuff for my new abode.
However, I'll have to notify my shipper who's helping me move my stuff to
get set for the pick up of the piece from your place as I MIGHT be delayed
depending on how things goes.
PS: In the mean time, kindly get back to me with your contact address and
phone# so I can get a check prepared and have it mailed out to you right
away.
