Pittsburgh Signs Project
250 Signs of Western Pennsylvania
Edited by Jennifer Baron, Greg Langel, Elizabeth Perry, Mark Stoup
Pittsburgh Signs Project: 250 Signs of Western Pennsylvania is a crowd-sourced book of photographs documenting and
celebrating the visual landscape of the region through its signs, past and present.
"Text is minimal; the images speak for themselves... the photos reflect the region’s broad cultural terrain, as in a
ten-year-old child’s snapshot of a defunct Bedford restaurant sign and the image of the authentically-restored Twin
Highway Drive-In marquee on Steubenville Pike."
—Deborah Weisberg, Shady Ave Magazine
