Despite a little rain, Barrel and Flow Festival allowed us to share Pittsburgh's nightlife with visitors from all over the country. |

For National Night Out and City in the Streets we connected with budding entrepreneurs, business owners and workers in six City neighborhoods. |

In a collaboration with City's the Office of Community Health and Safety, and Pittsburgh Police, we developed specialized De-Escalation workshops tailored to equip owners and staff with essential skills to handle challenging situations and contribute to safer commercial districts.
Piloted in Squirrel Hill and also presented downtown, there are plans to provide this service to other commercial clusters.
