Welcome!

In the spirit of continuity and community, the Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition welcomes you to Squirrel Hill Magazine. Why the welcome? After all, the magazine has been around for years, thanks to publisher, Morris Grossman.

Late last year, the Coalition began looking into creating a new publication to replace our newsletter. In walked Morris with a proposition: would the Coalition be interested in taking over and continuing the magazine? Over the winter and spring, our Board examined the idea and worked out an arrangement with Morris. Our marketing consultant, Rebekkah Belferman, has been working with Morris on this “transition issue”, as he’s showing her how he’s been doing it all.

We’re happy that the production team Morris has assembled will continue working with the Coalition. We don’t anticipate a significant change in content or appearance. There will be more in the way of community information, however, such as brief reports by some of the Coalition’s standing committees. We will probably do feature articles on current issues, such as street trees and the recently announced development at Forward and Murray Avenues.

So even though there will be a change at the top, The Coalition is committed to continuing the great neighborhood publication that Morris Grossman started, with his own money and untold hours of his time. We acknowledge and thank him for his commitment to Squirrel Hill. We also thank the magazine production team for its work over the years. You’ve all done a great job. The Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition is looking forward to this new venture and to using it to further serve the Fourteenth Ward.
