#NewYearsEve #Postcards #Fireworks #Ehemera #FireworksBonanza #Pittsburgh

A nighttime aerial view of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, looking down at the city where multiple rivers meet. The downtown skyline is brightly illuminated, with tall office towers and bridges outlined by yellow, white, and green lights. The rivers below reflect the city lights in long shimmering streaks. On the left side of the image, large fireworks explode upward from the riverbank, forming bright bursts in orange, gold, and red against the black sky. A thin orange border frames the image. The words “LIGHTUP NIGHT” appear at the top right, and “PITTSBURGH PA” is printed in large orange letters along the bottom.

I almost hit a deer tonight. On Hamilton Ave. In Homewood. No shit. #Pittsburgh

Some thistles by the trail near the top of Duquesne Incline. #pittsburgh #thistle #plant #nature #photography #darktable

Many dried thistles in the golden sun. In the distance is the Pittsburgh skyline out of focus.

View down the Ohio River from around the top of Duquesne Incline #pittsburgh #ohioriver #bridges #railroadbridge #landscape #goldenhour #photography #darktable

Looking down at an industrial area across the Ohio River. Several bridge cross the river, and the nearest one has a great arch and is painted yellow.

Slight different perspective for the scene in the previous photo, here showing a bit of trail in the foreground.

Zooming into the yellow arch bridge in the previous photo. There's a freight train on a truss bridge in the distance.

I took a rest day in Pittsburgh, before riding the GAP and C&O to DC. I brought my laptop to a library to get some work done, and then rode the Duquesne Incline. #pittsburgh #incline #funicular #skyline #goldenhour #photography #darktable

The Pittsburgh skyline in the afternoon golden hour, at the confluence of the Monogahela and Allegheny rivers. There are many bridges across the rivers. In the foreground, in the shadow, is the Duquesne incline, and a little red funicular car was traveling on the rails.

There's one hiccup ... I've been sick since Saturday and I lost my voice. So it may only be music and not much talk. If I'm well enough to do announcements and news, I will.

So wake your friends, call your kids, and tune in for a New Year's Eve Blast. Streaming at www.wrct.org

Article from 1961 says, "Experience Helps Rate WRCT Radio With Other Top College Stations"

NEW YEAR'S EVE BLAST!

At 9 p.m. Dec. 31, I'll be taking over WRCT 88.3FM and we're going to pretend it's Dec. 31, 1965, and we're back on 900 AM. Glorious lo-fi monaural sound!

From then until 12:30, I'm going to count down the top rock songs of 1965, interspersed with commercials and jingles.

A man stands next to a car with a sign on it that says "WRCT 900 On The Dial Radio Carnegie Tech." The car is a 1950s Chevrolet and the photo is black and white
