About
the Design
John Alexander's love of Pittsburgh's architecture inspired
his "Pittsburghius Architectaurus." Incorporating
buildings from the past and present, the right side view depicts
architecture that is still standing in the city, while the
left side view shows architecture that is no longer a part
of Pittsburgh.
The green
of the dinosaur's feet, spikes and head represent the forests
of "Penn's Woods," and the rounded green behind
the architectural elements represents the rolling hills of
Pittsburgh. The blue of the back plates represents the
vistas and rivers that surround the city.
About
the Sponsaur
Eat’n Park believes in being a good neighbor. Good neighbors
take pride in their communities, support local causes and
care for one another. Currently we have over 75 restaurants
in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. That’s a lot of
communities, and a lot of neighbors. Our community caring
is evident in our neighbor hoods
and in the causes we support in those communities. We particularly
support programs and organizations that help in the areas
of Health and Human Services, Education, Community and Civic
Affairs, as well as Culture and Art.
Eat’n
Park Hospitality Group was founded in 1949 as a carhop restaurant.
Today, the Pittsburgh-based company has grown to include Eat’n
Park Restaurants, a tri-state family restaurant and bakery
chain, Park Classic Diners, Parkhurst Dining Services (serving
large corporations and colleges and universities), and CURA
Hospitality, which provides contract management services to
senior living communities.
