Living in Pittsburgh, I live near some cool physics and astronomy landmarks. I mentioned before, I used to work at Allegheny Observatory in Riverview Park. As a graduate student in physics, I spent a lot of time at the Observatory. However, today, I am going to talk a little bit about the Westinghouse Atom Smasher, located in the eastern suburb of Forest Hills. I am lucky enough that I live near there and got a chance to visit.
The property where the Atom Smasher sits was purchased recently with plans to develop the land. However, the owner would like to be able to preserve the dome but cannot due to costs to move the dome from the site. The dome is in danger of being demolished and saved for scrap.
I've shown you this picture before, right?
