Carnegie Science Center visitors who make a snowball this winter, save it in their freezer, and bring it in on the first day of summer, Tuesday, June 21, will be able to choose what they pay for general admission.

In addition to naming their own price, every person who brings a snowball to the Science Center on that day will be able to launch it into River from aboard the USS Requin submarine (weather permitting).

Chicgoan Finds Charm in Pittsburgh

Chicago Trib writer JB Noel provides a perspective on Pittsburgh. Read on to learn something new about  your city -

“ I've never been to a city that loves itself more than Pittsburgh. This is not a criticism. After three days, I also loved Pittsburgh, a quaint, pretty city with interesting people doing interesting things, and a healthy dash of Old World, working-class charm.  But — and this is where Pittsburgh won me over — it is not a city impressed with itself.

New York, San Francisco and Portland, Ore., are wonderful cities that can't resist preening when passing mirrors to remind themselves just how wonderful they are. Pittsburgh is a wonderful city that doesn't even see the mirror. It just turns to its buddies and says, "Hey, yinz guys, let's go have a beer." ("Yinz guys" is Pittsburgh speak for "you people" — a dialectical Northern equivalent to "y'all.")

 Steeped in spirit and flavor, Pittsburgh can lay claim to being one of our nation's most underrated cities, with a beauty as breathtaking as it is obvious. The drive from Pittsburgh International Airport follows an unspectacular 20 miles of rolling-hills suburbia along Interstate Highway 376 and then, after a brief trip through the Fort Pitt Tunnel — bam! — there is Pittsburgh.
