Dave Rullo Gen X Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh author David Rullo will discuss his book Gen X Pittsburgh: The Beehive and the 90s Scene. The conversation will focus on the impact of the iconic 90s coffeehouse located in Pittsburgh's South Side and Oakland neighborhoods and it's position in the city's artistic community, as it sought to break from its post-industrial morass.
