      <image:title>News - A Giving Heart: Open to All - Kristee laughs when asked how she ended up here. “You know, childcare wasn’t the plan,” she admits. “In college, I thought I would open a homeless shelter for families because I couldn’t believe how many shelters split people up: parents one way, kids another. That didn’t sit right with me.” Her background – a master’s degree in clinical community psychology and a bachelor's degree in marketing – might not proclaim “future childcare director,” but as she explains it, it was being encouraged to go back to school and the parents themselves who nudged her in the direction she eventually went. “They kept asking about childcare. I didn’t have the space at the time, but when this building came along, it all just clicked.”</image:title>

      <image:title>News - A Giving Heart: Open to All - For Kristee, A Giving Heart has always been about more than drop-off and pick-up. “We’re here to support families as a whole,” she says. That means after-school programs with tutoring and dinner, summer meal programs with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, and even collaborations with local groups like Venture Outdoors. “It’s funny,” she says. “People think we’re just a building, but really, we’re a hub.” She connects people with other organizations, shares resources, and makes sure no one falls through the cracks. In the neighborhoods she serves, that’s incredibly important.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - A Giving Heart: Open to All - One big assist came when Invest PGH stepped in with support. “Honestly, Invest PGH gave me the breathing room to keep moving,” Kristee says. “Without that, I don’t know if I’d be standing here right now.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>The financing provided more than money. It gave validation to Kristee and her vision.  “When someone says, ‘Yes, we believe in you,’ that’s fuel.” That’s what Invest PGH always tries to do – for Kristee, for A Giving Heart, and for all our clients.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Dog Penn: Where Happy Hounds Meet Happy Hour - Travis and Alissa May’s journey to opening Pittsburgh’s first dog bar reads like an adventure tale. Once seasonal nomads, they spent years splitting their time between Seward, Alaska and Chiang Mai, Thailand, living the remote work dream. But when COVID grounded the globe-trotters, something awesome happened: they realized they didn’t want to go anywhere their dog couldn’t join them. Their social circles, Travis told me, shifted from tourist hot spots to dog-friendly bonfires on the beach, and no outing felt complete until they found the perfect spot not just for themselves but for Sabre, the four-legged member of their family.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - The Dog Penn: Where Happy Hounds Meet Happy Hour - When Alissa (and a few scouting trips) finally convinced Travis that Pittsburgh was the perfect place, they embarked on an epic road trip from Alaska in their mini-Winnebago in October. Wait, October? In the Yukon? “Yeah, we were heading to the Tetons, and we just redirected,” Travis laughs about being derailed by the weather, having learned the lessons of The Oregon Trail the hard way.</image:title>
      <image:caption>But that’s not the only reason their trip got interesting. At every stop along their journey, they sought out dog-friendly spaces. Seattle had a bunch. Oregon had some similar concepts. Montana, Idaho, Utah… They found dog parks, but nothing quite like the dog bar concept they’d fallen in love with in the Pacific Northwest. “We got here and talked about it the whole time,” Travis went on. “Like, well, you know. This doesn’t exist here. We should figure out how to make it happen.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Dog Penn: Where Happy Hounds Meet Happy Hour - The Dog Penn’s event calendar reads like a fever dream of wholesome fun. They’ve hosted drag shows with dogs, burlesque performances, professional pet photography sessions, and a Halloween costume contest. They’ve even thrown their own Puppy Bowl, complete with a painted turf football field and inflatable end zones.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“We did a live adoption event the day before the Super Bowl. We brought in eight adoptable dogs and that same day, six out of eight of them received applications for adoption. Within two weeks all of them were,” Travis shares proudly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Dog Penn: Where Happy Hounds Meet Happy Hour - Nestled in the Strip District in a former sausage factory (some say the dogs can still smell the history in the walls), The Dog Penn fills a genuine need. With new pet-friendly apartments popping up throughout the area but nary a dog park to be seen, The Dog Penn has become the neighborhood’s unofficial backyard.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The timing of their winter opening, initially frustrating, turned out to be a blessing. While fellow dog bar entrepreneurs at Hound House in East Liberty are navigating their first few months during peak construction season, Travis and Alissa spend eight much colder months building their community and perfecting their approach. Now they’re ready and rarin’ to make the most of the summer and fall with outdoor events and expanded programming. As they’ve recently won Pittsburgh Magazine’s award for Best Dog Park, it sure seems like they’re on the right track.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Dog Penn: Where Happy Hounds Meet Happy Hour - Here’s what might surprise you: you don’t need a dog to go to (and certainly not to enjoy) The Dog Penn.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“We get that question a lot, and it’s wild how many people will be like, ‘I’ve walked past fifteen times, and I thought I had to register a dog to come in,’” Travis notes. The reality? It’s a full-service bar with craft cocktails (try the French 412, with butterfly pea flower gin – I did, it’s great), food partnerships with local spots like Pane e Pronto, and a welcoming atmosphere whether you’re there for the dogs or just a good drink. They’ve been nominated for multiple City Paper Best of PGH bar awards, including Best New Bar, Best Dog Friendly Bar, Best Bar to Day Drink, and Best Place to Drink Outside (as well as being written in for Best Place to Drink for Cheap), so it’s not just me who thinks they’re great.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Dog Penn: Where Happy Hounds Meet Happy Hour - As The Dog Penn approaches its first anniversary this October, Travis and Alissa are already plotting bigger and better things. A Halloween dog parade all down the Strip District. Silent discos. Expanded hours for members who just need a safe yard for their urban canines.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“We’re here for whatever,” Alissa says, and in a city where camaraderie and green space are both precious, being the place where dogs make friends, humans build community, and dog parents and dog appreciators alike can grab a solid cocktail is exactly what Pittsburgh needs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the '77 Club: How One Pizza Oven is Firing Up the Local Food Scene - At the heart of '77 Club's appeal is its brand-new wood-fired oven, a gleaming show-stopper that looks more like a Smaug-inspired sculpture than a piece of equipment. It's earned comparisons to disco balls and dragons alike, and the pizza it turns out is just as legendary. Every week, Dustin invents and rolls out new pies, often inspired by seasonal ingredients or mere whimsy. One day it's lemon cream with roasted zucchini, garlic, and mint, a play on a classic Italian dish; the next it's "Salad Days," a fresh and funky pie that's both a pun and a palate pleaser.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the '77 Club: How One Pizza Oven is Firing Up the Local Food Scene - As if we needed another reason to love '77 Club, nearly every pizza they serve is named after a song. "I Am Blue," "Super 8," and others don't just sound cool, they're Brittani and Dustin's way of turning dinner into something multisensory and memorable. And yes: part of the fun is hearing customers ordering a pizza sometimes without realizing they're quoting a mid-2000s indie band or a Sesame Street deep cut. It's that kind of lighthearted but meaningful detail that makes '77 Club a whole vibe. It's not just dinner, it's a cultural touchpoint in a box.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the '77 Club: How One Pizza Oven is Firing Up the Local Food Scene - Of course, scaling a front-yard passion project into a full-time business takes more than just creativity and good vibes. It can take some capital, and some smart planning. That's where Invest PGH was able to step in. Through a loan that helped them grow sustainably, '77 Club was able to transition from casual pop-ups to a robust mobile operation with a brand-new pizza oven and a clear vision for the future. The process was thorough, requiring a detailed business plan and more than a little preparation, but it set them up for long-term success.</image:title>

Invest PGH's approachable, community-minded model also gave '77 Club the breathing room they needed to stay creative while expanding, rather than pushing them into a rigid mold. They've since added staff, developed a catering model, and are laying the groundwork for long-term stability, without losing their originality or spark.</image:title>

From their punk rock pies to their mission-driven mindset, '77 Club is doing more than making pizza, they're creating and uplifting culture. So if you catch them at a night market, a block party, or a brewery pop-up, you'll know right away: this is what Pittsburgh tastes like.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Raise a Toast to the Babes: A Q&amp;amp;A with Babesburgh Founder Cat Bruno - After years of freelance writing and cofounding Pittsburgh’s wildly popular and nationally recognized Barrel &amp; Flow Fest, Cat felt drawn to something new, but something familiar. She was at a point in her life where she really appreciated the support of women around her, she shared with me, and she wanted to make sure the women in the region had access to that same kind of experience and community. And like that, Babesburgh was born as a celebration of creativity, connection, and dismantling the patriarchy with good vibes.</image:title>
      <image:caption>At its core, Babesburgh is about experiencing life together in a nonjudgmental community. It’s not your typical networking event, Cat explains, and it’s not transactional. It’s a way to have fun and build community through new experiences. It’s a space where everyone who chooses to wear the crown of womanhood, or who supports those who do, is welcomed without reservation and is celebrated for exactly who they are. “And if we happen to smash the patriarchy in the process,” she says, “…so be it!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Third Space Bakery: A Haven of Creativity and Community Empowerment - Chloe Newman, one of the bakery’s founders, has a unique background in art and chemistry, which shines through in her approach to baking. She fell in love with sourdough, captivated by its wild and unpredictable nature, and soon turned her passion into a business. Partner Erika Bruce caught the baking bug when she attended culinary school, adds high class and culture with her specialization in European-inspired cakes and pastries. Their combined skills join third partner Beth Taylor who has a deep background in food writing and a degree in food studies. Together, the three women give Third Space its special flavor, a blend of creativity, science, and heartfelt community care.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Third Space Bakery: A Haven of Creativity and Community Empowerment - Invest PGH played its own small role in helping Third Space transform from a dream to reality. The bakery team had talent and vision, but like many startups, they needed financial baking. When the trio was seeking a location to begin their journey, they knew they needed more than their initial investment to cover costs like equipment and build-out for their chosen space in Garfield. That’s when they turned to Invest PGH, helping them secure the funding they needed to launch the business. The process wasn’t without challenges but Invest PGH was there to help ensure that the bakery had everything it needed when the doors were opened.</image:title>

For Chloe, who previously worked solo, the collaborative, people-focused environment of Third Space has been a welcome change. “Working here with people I love, seeing familiar faces every weekend, it feels like home.”</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Armful of Flowers: How a Backyard Dream Bloomed - It was her friend, and now Armful’s co-owner, Jessica Revis, who first recognized the potential in Kelly’s floral talent.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Jess was like, ‘Kelly, I’ve never seen flowers grown in these colors or these varieties,’” Kelly recalls. That was the spark that Kelly had needed. From that small backyard patch, Armful of Flowers was born, and the rest, as they say, is history.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kelly is particularly proud of her zinnias. “These are all colors of zinnias that you probably normally have never seen,” she says, pointing to her patch of uniquely bred blooms. “They’re very vintage-y, they’re very soft, with linen tones.” In fact, many of the flowers on the farm are part of a special breeding program from Floret Flower Farm in Washington state. Kelly had found Floret’s book, Cut Flower Garden, “…and I learned everything I know now from her,” Kelly explains.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Armful of Flowers: How a Backyard Dream Bloomed - “We do something for every season,” Kelly tells me. “In the summer, we have sunflowers and marigolds, and in the fall, we do mums and corn stalks. For the winter, we’ve got garland, and this spring we had tons of tulips and daffodils.” The farm is also designated as a Monarch Waystation, filled with perennials that attract pollinators like butterflies and bees. “I just love seeing all the bees hanging out around the flowers,” Kelly says with a smile.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And it’s not just flowers. Armful hosts a variety of events throughout the year, bringing in local vendors and creating a true community hub. “Our Fall Fest [this year on October 6] is one of our biggest events. We close the street, we have about 30 vendors: axe throwing, stein hoisting – it’s so cool,” Kelly shares.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Radio Skateshop: Keeping Skate Culture Alive and Kicking in Pittsburgh - Eric’s journey into skateboarding began back in the early 2000s, as it did for many of us.</image:title>
      <image:caption>“I was a Tony Hawk kid,” I told him, myself inspired by the revitalized, and by then booming, skate culture highlighted in iconic video games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Eric had played the games too, and while my own skate injuries took me out of the game early on, Eric stayed with it. He reminisced about the early days when a local skate park became his second home. Fast forward to adulthood, and Eric found himself at a crossroads, as many did during the pandemic. With a background in substitute teaching, the switch to online learning pushed him to reevaluate the path his career had taken. That’s when the idea of the skate shop resurfaced.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Radio Skateshop: Keeping Skate Culture Alive and Kicking in Pittsburgh - Starting a small business is not a small feat, especially during a pandemic. This is where Invest PGH lent a hand.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Eric spoke highly of the support he received: “We didn’t have the capital to get this going, so we definitely needed help.” Through Invest PGH, Eric and his partners were able to secure the resources they needed to turn ideas into actuality. Radio received a Micro Enterprise Loan – now called SMAL – that was used to purchase inventory. You know, the important stuff, like decks, wheels, and, of course, t-shirts. It also helped them to begin to craft the shop into the aesthetic masterpiece it is today. But the support was more than financial – it was a network of resources, and a group of people who believed in the Radio vision.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“To me, the most important part of a skate shop is not just selling things, but giving back to the community,” he emphasized.</image:caption>
