Waffle Shop to close in East Liberty in July

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The Waffle Shop, an East Liberty-based public art space that serves food and invites patrons to take part in video talk shows, will close July 29. Waffle Shop: A Reality Show opened in October 2008 on the corner of Baum Boulevard and Highland Avenue. It was supposed to be a one-semester project for a Carnegie Mellon University art class taught by associate professor Jon Rubin, but it quickly took on a life of its own.
