Journey with us back to a world of flappers and gin-runners, gangsters and molls. Bricolage brings you a suspenseful historical fiction episode of Midnight Radio in an atmosphere rife with all that jazz.
Bricolage Artistic Director Jeffrey Carpenter has teamed up with local writer Matthew Adams to create a completely original radio play based on a true story of early organized crime in Pittsburgh.
On July 29, 1932, the most infamo...us gangland slaying in Pittsburgh history occurred in a coffee shop on Wylie Avenue in the Hill District, when three of the eight Volpe brothers were gunned down in broad daylight. The event became a defining moment in the battle for control over Pittsburgh’s bootlegging empire, involving such notorious gangsters as “Lucky” Luciano and Al Capone, and played out locally by a vast network of mobsters. Midnight Radio’s Bootleggin’ and Bathtub Gin features Murder, Inc. - the exclusive story behind the story of a local underworld at war, from “speakeasies” to back woods stills, and a lone sheriff with designs of his own.

The Pittsburgh Art BlogThe Pittsburgh Art Blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20,2007. pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.
the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh artist advocate rick byerly.
