Yep. And Councilman Bill Peduto wants to turn that rooftop into a park, which I think would be awesome!
My mom used to work in that building when Marsh & McClennon's Pittsburgh offices were there. When my mom would have to go into work on a Saturday for a couple of hours and asked me if I wanted to go with, I always said yes. I think a couple of times I even asked to go in with her! That building was (and still is) awesome!!! And I would love to see a park go there at some point. Climbing 841 vertical feet to a green space would be cool.
