Andy Warhol Bridge, also known as the Seventh Street Bridge, spans the Allegheny River in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is the only bridge in the United States named for a visual artist.It was opened at a cost of $1.5 million on June 17, 1926 in a ceremony attended by 2,000.Named for the artist Andy Warhol, a Pittsburgh native, it is one of three parallel bridges called The Three Sisters, the others being the Roberto Clemente Bridge and the Rachel Carson Bridge.The Three Sisters are self-anchored suspension bridges and are historically significant because they are the only trio of nearly identical bridges – as well as the first self-anchored suspension spans — built in the United States.

It's the Warhol Bridge!
We went down to the Allegheny County Courthouse, crochet hooks in hand, and spoke about the impact this community art project has had on Southwestern Pennsylvanians. We are thrilled that the Council passed the Knit the Bridge unanimously approving the use of the Andy Warhol/7th Street Bridge for America's biggest yarn bomb!
Watch as the Allegheny County Executive, a community organizer, a social services manager at the local juvenile detention center, a high school art teacher, a Fiberarts Guild member, an artist/resident at Spinning Plate, and a small grant-making organization head that promotes innovative ideas for catalyzing change in Pittsburgh all testify to the positive impact of Knit the Bridge!
Cartoons 101 Visits The ToonSeum In Pittsburgh
I hopped on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and visited Pittsburgh! Of course I tried the local delicacies and saw the sights, but the main reason for the visit was to check out the Toonseum, the east coast's premiere museum focused solely on cartoons! If you're ever in the area, definitely check it out, it's well worth the eight bucks. Also worth the money is supporting Cartoons 101 on Patreon!
Have an idea for a Cartoons 101 topic or a place for me to visit? Tell me in the comments!
