About Popular Pittsburgh
We
know your concerns. Is this some big outside corporation trying to
make a buck on Pittsburgh’s good name?
No! (We’re still laughing…) The
mastermind behind Popular Pittsburgh is a native son who
started out making potholders for friends and neighbors
as a kid. He’s no technological marvel, just a
small businessman who’s proud of the place he calls
home.
Tom Pollard is a hardworking Pittsburgher who has
spent a lifetime promoting the Steel City through the
sale of Pittsburgh souvenirs and memorabilia, as well as
through his commercial photography. (Yes, every
Pittsburgh shot we have is a Tom Pollard original.)
Tom loves the city, has an entrepreneurial spirit,
and wants to help spread the word about Pittsburgh to
the world.
Your Ornament Maker
And
while you may never have heard of Tom before now, in his
own way he’s a Pittsburgh original and one of
Pittsburgh’s firsts.
Get on the web and look up “Your Ornament
Maker.” No matter what search engine you use, from
Google to Yahoo to Microsoft’s new BING, Tom Pollard
Designs comes up #1.
What does Tom Pollard Designs do? They make
custom made, gold plated brass ornaments and sell many
stock Pittsburgh ornaments as well. Check it all

Our Mission at Popular Pittsburgh
We’re going to keep writing, taking pictures, and
having fun with Pittsburgh information.
We want to put up great Pittsburgh recipes, interview
exceptional and quirky Pittsburghers, and have public
votes on everything from your favorite Italian
restaurant to the best place to take a date in
Pittsburgh.
We want you to be excited about the next contest,
look forward to our next e-newsletter, and just more
proud of this Steel City than a Steeler wearing a Super
Bowl ring (or two, or three, etc…).
Because we’re not a big corporation with a fortune to
spend, it’s going to take us years to fulfill our vision
for this site, but we hope you’ll stay along for the
ride.
We love this town!
Caveat
www.PopularPittsburgh.com is owned by Positively
Pittsburgh, Inc., but is not associated with the recent
launch of Positively Pittsburgh Live Magazine. The
close birth of both ventures is pure Pittsburgh
serendipity. (Which is to say “What a
coincidence!”)
