Proposal to reintroduce 1 acre of eastern woodland forest in downtown Pittsburgh & stream warm water into William Penn Hotel fountain


... a friend said that warm water streaming into the William Penn Hotel fountain is 'too wild' for Pittsburgh (another said that 'this would burn too much fossil fuel'). Norms here in this modern city, shaped recently by visions of technologies and wealth, first from glass and steel, seem to continue to revolve around tradition, especially religious traditions, in part, including related, societal divisions ... New visions for Pittsburgh to further this modern city? 400 years ago there were only native peoples for 16,000 - 20,000 yrs. There's virtually no sign of that time visible in downtown Pittsburgh.
