Meet Pittsburgh Author, Ed Simon

Ed Simon will join us to talk about his book The Soul of Pittsburgh: Essays on Life, Community and History. The focus of Ed's book is how Pittsburgh has changed over the years from a town where rivers were lined with belching steel mills to its reinvention as a trendy mid-sized metropolis after the decline of the steel industry.  He discusses the strong sense of community in the Steel City that people born here know all about.

Let's celebrate Pittsburgh with Ed!

Ed Simon has written articles for The Atlantic, The Paris Review Daily, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The New York Times and more.

Ed will bring copies of his book for purchase after the program.
