Look who stopped by the Fort Pitt Museum... 👀💥🩺
We were thrilled to welcome Patrick Ball and Taylor Dearden – you might know them better as Dr. Langdon and Dr. King – from HBO’s “The Pitt” to the Fort yesterday! #ThePitt

Hard to believe that it's been seven years to the day that a bus fell into a sinkhole in downtown #Pittsburgh. While I couldn't make it down in the morning I did after work, and this image remains one of the wildest I've ever captured in the city.

50 years ago, Tony Dorsett ran into college football history. 🏈🏆
On October 23, 1976, the Pitt legend and College Football Hall of Famer became college football's all-time leading rusher against Navy, securing his place among the game's greatest.
Five decades later, his legacy lives on at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, where Dorsett's shoulder pads are on display as a tribute to one of college football's most remarkable careers.
Together with @Pitt_FB and @HistoryCenter, we're celebrating a milestone that helped define an unforgettable era of Pittsburgh football.

Today, we celebrate the birthday of George Westinghouse, whose innovations transformed industries and continue to inspire progress around the world. 🎉
George's story began in Pittsburgh. Today his legacy spans the globe.
To honor his legacy, we took George back to where it all began for a tour of some of Pittsburgh's most iconic landmarks and attractions.
How many of these Pittsburgh landmarks do you recognize? 🖤💛
Featured locations and organizations include University of Pittsburgh (@PittTweet), @Pirates, @steelers, Heinz @HistoryCenter, Point State Park (@DCNRnews), Duquesne Incline (@DowntownPitt), and a Mr. Rogers statue (@wqed).
