The Neighbors on the Mount hosted a tent for the Mount Washington Community Development Corporation’s 2nd Annual Block Party on September 22nd. The MWCDC hosted a great community party with good food, good drinks and great entertainment on Grandview Avenue.

Thanks to Mike Carlin, the Neighbors on the Mount sponsors several community clean-up projects throughout the year. The latest was the Fall Community Clean-up that was held on Saturday October 6th. About 10 great neighbors spent the morning cleaning up Grandview, Wyoming, Virginia, and Shiloh with a few other places in between. 13 large garbage bags were filled during the clean-up event.

On Sunday October 21st, the 3rd Annual Trunk or Treat was sponsored by the Grandview Lions Club. This new holiday tradition has become one of the most popular events of the year. 20+ neighbors and local businesses set up in the St. Mary of the Mount parking lot for kids to enjoy a day-time trick or treating experience. The Grandview Lions Club provided pumpkins for all of the kids to decorate. The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s Mt. Washington branch provided the supplies for decorating the pumpkins. The Neighbors of the Mount had hot chocolate available for the trunk and treat event.

Next up is the planning for a community celebration for the holiday season on The Mount. The Neighbors on the Mount decorated the Fireman’s Park on Shiloh Street on November 4th. A community light up night will be celebrated on Friday, November 16th.

Save the date! Light Up Night on the Mount! Friday November 16, 2018.
