Andy Warhol grew up here in Pittsburgh. He grew up in the same neighborhood that I live in. I live in Oakland. He lived in Oakland. Oakland is the home of the University of Pittsburgh.
Earlier this summer, I finally searched out and found exactly where he lived at on Dawson Street.
I stood in front of the house and stared at it. There was nothing to suggest that Andy had ever lived there. I was expecting a plaque or something.
But that’s okay. If you wonder why the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette is the way it is, in large part it’s because of Andy Warhol.
