Here at Reed Orthodontics, we’re
known for producing some of the best smiled in the ‘Burgh.
But besides our patients one of
the most famous “smiles” in Pittsburgh is the famous smiling neon fish that
marks the location of Wholey’s in the Strip District. Since 1989, the fish has
been a landmark in the popular food and shopping area, costing about $50,000
and measuring in at 100 feet long.
But soon, that fish will need a
new home. The building that the fish is mounted on will be undergoing
renovations, which means that the famous Wholey’s smiling fish to migrate to another
location. And that’s where YOU come in.
“As we look to
the new, we don’t just want to throw out the old. We don’t want to throw out
the smiling fish of Pittsburgh,” Mayor-elect Bill Peduto said. “You help us
find the location. You get the permission from the property owner and then the
city will help you to make it real.”
The campaign for ideas will run
through January 31, but there are a few fules—it must be within Pittsburgh city
limits and consent from the property owner is required. It also must meet local
zoning ordinances.
Do
you have a great idea for where the Wholey’s fish should relocate? You can drop
your idea into the red drop box in front of Wholey’s in the Strip District, or
you can head over to their Facebook page, or you can Tweet at them @wholeys (using the hashtag #smilingfish). Or, email your ideas to smilingfishsign@gmail.com.
