Bridge feuds and public art 10 miles from Pittsburgh

Hyperrealistic sculptures decorate streets paved with C.P. Mayer Company Bricks in the borough of Bridgeville, 10 miles from Pittsburgh. The historic town defies easy classification when interstates and shopping centers are situated near a vintage train station that houses The Bridgeville Area Historical Society. The new intermixed with the old is not the first time Bridgeville has broken the rules. When a bridge was placed over Chartiers Creek that required a toll, local farmers banded together to build their own toll-free bridge. Travelers to the town would meet there, hence the slogan “Meet me at the bridge” depicted in a mural on Railroad Street. Proud of their borough’s rambunctious heritage, locals may buy old street signs from the Historical Society to place in their homes, making a relic into a piece of art. Similarly, the area's benches, chairs and street signs are now home to statues and geometric sculptures brought to the borough through Public Art Bridgeville, an organization working to make art accessible to the town.

Antique shop in an antique building

“My mom started it in 1969, but it was a clothing and accessory store then. She started gradually going into antiques,” says Rhonda Dupree, buyer for Accentique. “We are in a historic building. We have three rooms in the basement of this building that really couldn’t be used for anything else. My childhood girlfriend called it the dungeon.” An antique and furniture store, Accentique occupies a flat-faced brick building with rough-hewn stone lining the lower level that was once part of the C.P. Mayer Brick Company. The Crafty Jackalope Craft Bar & Grille offers more than just food and drinks; live music events are a frequent form of entertainment. For casual Italian, Armstrong’s Express is appreciated for its sandwiches and catering. Residents visit Giant Eagle Supermarket in Chartiers Valley Shopping Center for groceries.

McLaughlin Run Park and Chartiers Park

Skateboarders try the jumps, while tennis and basketball players pick up a game at the nearby courts in McLaughlin Run Park. Walking trails lead to a hidden waterfall that trickles into the shaded stream bordering the park. Beside Chartiers Creek, Chartiers Park has a manicured lawn for picnics and a pastel climbing gym next to little league baseball fields. Recently, the park flooded, which may occur during storms and heavy rainfall. “It does happen once in a while,” says Dupree. “Its been flooded a lot in previous years but they did a lot of reconstruction to lessen it.”

There are so many things to do in Bridgeville at McLaughlin Run Park to occupy the day.

Important to know

Train tracks used by freight cars run through the center of town and can be heard during the day. I-79 borders the area, but homes are not close enough to be affected by the noise. “You don’t hear the interstate,” says Dupree. “It’s close but not that close.”

Look down the tracks to Bridgeville where you can find everything that you need.
