⚠️ Both elevators in the DLCC near the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom (on Westin side) are now out of commission.

(late repost from other channels) ℹ️ Hey all, there have been some complaints and posts through the weekend regarding false claims of AI usage. Our team has made a small statement. TL;DR AI slop sucks, we don't do it, and we appreciate those that inform us about wrongful usage.

🚌 transportation services should be running normally in normal pickup locations, and will continue to until 1 AM tonight. ☀️ due to the ongoing weather concerns, the rooftop has been closed early. We will provide any updates regarding any further closures in the DLCC.

Update on fireworks tonight: City of Pittsburgh says that fireworks will start at 10 PM after inclement weather. If anything changes with our ability to have the roof open for fireworks viewing, we will let folks know! 🎇

🚌 SHUTTLE NOTE - GREEN LINE: Please note that GREEN SHUTTLE pickup at the WYNDHAM moved to PENN AND STANWIX today, as Commonwealth Place is closed for City 4th of July celebrations at The Point. Thank you!
