ooh! lots of things!

*links:

under general:
www.pittsburgh-region.org

for events listings, this is the link that i use every week (they also have a mailing list):
www.thisishappening.com

music joints:
www.modernformations.com (also an art place!)
www.31stpub.com

another pgh-based music community:
pbcd_drop

art places:
www.pennavenuearts.com
www.1662designzone.com [lawrenceville's artsy site]

another site that is pretty cool and has general information about getting engaged in the pittsburgh scene is:
www.progresspittsburgh.com

for the above, you may want to have a section called 'getting involved' or something similar. because there are a lot of other networking organizations that are useful for people that want to meet other people for personal or professional reasons. some examples:
www.pump.org
www.coro.org/coro_centers/pgh/pgh.html
www.ventureoutdoors.com

*banners:

weren't there a couple of pittsburgh banners that were created a while back? they were posted as comments to a post a couple months ago. that would be cool to add to the info page.

lastly, in the spring and early summer when i was bored i started a pittsburgh memories file on my LJ. check out the link here:
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=internautte&keyword=pittsburgh&filter=all

looking at it now, it has some pretty damn useful information. feel free to use these links when creating the pittsburgh memories, or other links.

this is all probably too much information, but i am pittsburgh nut and thought it was interesting!

what would be also REALLY SUPER DUPER COOL is if we could have an LJ pittsbugh business directory or folder in the memories section, so if someone wanted to get their car fixed or order a birthday cake, they could get reliable information from other friendly LJ users AND perhaps business owners in our community!

Wow! Thanks so much for helping out. I added a ton of new links to the info page and a bunch of those memories. Check out the info page. We are gathering quite a library of links. Very cool.
