Pittsburgh Dinosaurs (Carnegie, Oakdale, Lawrenceville: pharmacy, bus, designs)

[nannyval]

OK everyone, I didn't feel like copying and pasting dozens of times so I just made a flickr account to show off my dino pics. Here's the link, you should be able to view the Pittsburgh Dinosaurs set. If it doesn't work, please, let me know. I'll be adding more pics as we go, we've still got quite a few more sculptures to visit!

Terrific pics! I hope you can make it out to my side of town soon to add Transitsaurus to your collection.

Yes, I hope so too! This is one of the sculptures that is out of our usual way so it's going to have to coincide with another family activity out that way for the day, but it's high on my list as it's just so cute!!! I'll being visiting the one at the Carnegie Science center later this week.

Meanwhile, it seems the tips here have run out of steam. Does anyone know of another Pittsburgh message board that I might get some fresh responses from? I'm at the stage where it's time to start calling some of the sponsors from the event who pre-purchased their sculptures, therefore may have them on display in their businesses/scholls, etc. Also, I did upload a couple more dino pics to my flickr, the Steel Plaza one and the Seymore Sparklesaurus,which was beautiful! Thanks for the tip trotter_reg!!! If anyone's interested, please, take a look. Pittsburgh dinosaur sculptures - a set on Flickr

And, as I mentioned before I have a Facebook group dedicated to my search, however there are only 4 members so it's not getting much exposure If any Facebooker from the Pitt network would like to join it would help me reach a fresh (and hopefully larger) group of Pittsburghers. Just search for "In Search of Pittsburgh Dinosaurs". If you join, please, send an invite to all of your Pitt network friends. Thanks again for all the help, we're having a blast with this!

This one was at the Shaler Library on Mt Royal Blvd next to the Shaler Area Intermediate School.

I don't know if it's still there.

The Carnegie website lists a contact name and phone number of the logistics manager, Brian Reneski, for the auction winners to call. Perhaps you could try that number to see if he has a record of dino owners. Also, the shipping was done by J.P. Contracting and Weleski Transfer. I'm sure they know where they shipped them. It should be a challenge to see if you can pry this information out of people.

DinoMite Days - Carnegie Museum of Natural History

btw, I noticed that you went to an Eat-n-Park and the dino was no longer there. They probably moved it to another restaurant. Call Eat-n-Park's corporate headquarters to see if you can find out where it's located.

Here's one: Google Image Result for http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarking/display/c7366ebe-9718-44e3-ac51-a3fedf5bad95.jpg

Heck, just look for Pittsburgh on the following site: http://www.waymarking.com/cat/detail...4-d3f7e673f683

It has dinosaurs from all over the country. Once you find them all in Pittsburgh, you can expand your search to other states!

There's one on Freeport Road in Aspinwall. It's in a front yard just a few feet away from the sidewalk. I drove past it this week.

[nannyval]

Thank you Hopes for your input. I've already got the one in Aspinwall and also all the ones on Waymark.....I think. I wish I could contact the guy who posted those pics on Waymark w/o signing up for an account myself! I have no intention of searching the entire US for dinos.....these Pittsburgh ones are hard enough!! LOL I did ask members of my CL forum to share with me what their city's art projects were and got some funny answers, did you know that Seattle has pigs? They are actually really cute. I did contact the Carnegie but got a somewhat curt message back from them. Basically, they'll be of no assitance. I also have plans on contacting those companies that prepurchased the dino they sponsored (which is available on Carnegie's site)to get info but I'm waiting until we get done photograghing the list I already have. Overall, it's been really challenging but really fun and I wouldn't have found as many as I did so far if it weren't for all the forum members here. Thanks again for your help and here again is the link to my flickr pics, there haven't been any new updates in the past couple of weeks but for those who haven't seen them, take a look.

How are you guys missing the one just off the corner of Cardiac Hill and Fifth Ave. LOL? It sit back a lil and real close to the bus lane.

Where's Cardiac Hill? What's the real name of the street?

It's the walk from the lower Pitt campus to the upper campus. I don't think there is any one street that leads up to the stadium.

[Hopes]

I figured it was the hill where Presby and the stadium are located.

However, he said "on the corner."

That sort of indicates he meant one street.

The street name would help the OP locate the dinosaur.
