How did the Fort Pitt Bridge get its color?
It wasn’t an easy job. It involved 31,200 gallons of Aztec gold, and the story is told today on The Digs.

These great big beautiful prints of the awful 1972 Hurricane Agnes devastation were long ago folded in half and stuck in a manilla envelope.
Like many prints in our archive, they are irreparably damaged, but at least the city and rivers they depict bounced back well from all that rain.
Click here for more images and the story of the destruction from Marylynne Pitz.
Have a great and dry weekend, Pittsburgh!
Shortly after noon on an unusually hot October day in 1949, a Hereford bull escaped from a slaughterhouse on Jane Street and embarked on a blocks-long rampage through the South Side. The beast plowed through six fences and five gardens before pausing at Minnie Spriesterbach’s 21rst Street home.
Check out the amazing true story at The Digs.
What's going on with the Digs. Have'nt seen anything since May 11th.

Ever since the Phoenicians set sail, water has held a mystical sway over human beings.
That includes Pittsburgh owners of houseboats.
In fine weather, these floating cottages cruise the region's rivers, giving their owners a chance to share an extra beer, a joke or a story with their fellow free spirits.
See more photos and stories of houseboaters Wednesday on The Digs.
There was once a pothole deep and obscured enough on this street in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood to cause a woman to break her ankle.
The subsequent lawsuit against the City of Pittsburgh and outcome are retold today on The Digs.
What’s the deepest pothole you’ve ever seen in Pittsburgh?
This red-haired woman with twinkling green eyes resided in an East End apartment, but she lived mostly in her considerable imagination.
As a result of this energetic woman's considerable creativity, a generation of Pittsburghers grew up watching great theatrical performances by marionettes and a variety of other puppets.
Read more of her story Wednesday on The Digs.

Why would anyone agree to turn their land into an extraction site?
Read a story of Jimmy Lynch, who turned into a wealthy coal baron from an unsuccessful entrepreneur because of what was found in his backyard.
What’s it like to be a teenager? Well, we at the Digs have it all figured out. It’s groovy, so check us out on the flip-flop -- that’s Wednesday, for all you squares -- in the Digs.
In the America of 1969, many people did not lock their doors.
The man pictured here was so violent that some people locked their doors, insisted their children play indoors and also kept their shotguns handy.
More on his story coming Wednesday at The Digs.
A tattered folder with this image and a few others of John Gruber's gentle and bearded face stood out when we were looking for this week's story.
Gruber arguably helped begin Pittsburgh's rabid interest in pro sports, printing the first baseball standings in any city newspaper during the late 1800s and working for nearly 40 years as the Pirates' official scorekeeper.
That's why this posthumous plaque hung in Forbes Field's press box for many years. Where it is today, we do not know, but on Wednesday at The Digs, we share Gruber's Pittsburgh story.
Once upon a time, Pittsburgh had its own Chinatown. It was known for its restaurants serving Peking duck, grocery stores where one could buy Chinese delicacies and a park where you could hear people speaking Mandarin and playing mah-jongg.
Read about Pittsburgh's Chinatown in "The Digs" Wednesday.
Do you recognize these Pittsburgh mascots, the well-known symbols of the Steel City and its institutions? The Pitt Panther, T. Carnegie Rex, Pa Pitt... Do you have a favorite?

Most people recognize the man on the far right in this 1956 picture — Richard Nixon. At the time he was vice president of the United States.
The man in the center is Sid Lockley from New Castle.
But can you identify the Pennsylvania man on the left? He logged a fascinating career in the U.S. Congress, and we'll have more of his story Wednesday on The Digs.
Feb. 7, 1955: The tragic results of love gone bad
Elizabeth Moser heard screams and gunshots. Then she saw a would-be peacemaker stagger from a room. "His face was an iron color and his eyes were closed," Moser said. "He started to fall and I caught him so he wouldn't hit his head. I was holding him, trying to help, but he was dead."
Learn the full story Wednesday in The Digs.
Feb. 24, 1982: What did these workers dig up in Downtown Pittsburgh?
The answer is revealed this week on The Digs.
