I would like to remind you naysayers of a few important things: \n\n(1) You are at a LIBRARY.\n \n(2) Volunteers are what keep the arts in Pittsburgh thriving. \n\n(3) You just paid well below the pocket gouging prices of Ticketmaster and Live Nation events. So use that extra money and bring along a flask or a can of soda or some peanuts or a bag of chips. Or, better yet, go eat a pre-show meal at one of the hidden culinary gems Homestead has to offer. \n\n(4) Don't like Waterfront traffic? Try using the Rankin Bridge instead: a quarter of the traffic and only two stop lights away from Library Place.\n\n(5) Parking in Pittsburgh is abysmal no matter where you go - so suck it up, arrive early, and spend a few minutes walking around and enjoying this historical building. In a venue that only holds a little over 1,000 people, I'd rather spend a few extra minutes at a stop sign than an hour of gridlock in a major venue's parking lot.\n\nDisclaimer: I love old venues. So, of course, I'll overlook some of the more unappealing features of the Carnegie Library Music Hall - like the narrow, hard, uncomfortable seats; the lack of restrooms; and, the nightmare parking situation. however, the charm of the building, the intimacy of performances, and the off-the-beaten path nature of the acts that chose this venue are all reasons why I will continue to choose to attend shows here. Simply put, I love the Carnegie Library Music Hall."^^ . "2015-04-22T00:00:00"^^ . "4"^^ . "3"^^ .
