After sifting through the survey respondents feedback, the artist, Roberto Maxwell, tried to incorporate as many elements as possible. What do you think?
Of the 75+ people who attended the South Side Slopes summer picnic, the biggest feedback was to incorporate some animals into the forest. Please let us know if you have any further feedback for us!
We are hoping to finalize the design and present at the Pittsburgh Art Commission for review in September.

To be eligible, your garden space must be at least 80% green. We love a good statue, but we want to see your green thumbs at work!

Climate Change
How aware are we of this problem?
Is there anything we can do about it?
Have we even talked about it?
On Wednesday, March 8th, St. Paul’s Monastery will present a movie on the subject of climate change – The Letter. The film will be shown in the Retreat Center Conference Room – where we have held our Neighborhood monthly meetings in the past. The movie presents how climate change is altering the Amazon, India, Africa, and the Barrier Reefs of Mother Earth. Individuals experiencing these changes were invited by Pope Francis to come to Rome to tell their story, and share their experiences. The film helps us to better understand what is happening to our common home, the earth. Discussion will follow.
Everyone is invited to attend, no cost. Refreshments will be available.
If you plan to attend, please call St. Paul’s Monastery and let them know at
412-381-1188.
Every year, the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association holds five public meetings open to the community (two of which are parties!)
