ToonSeum

Perched in the Steel City's Cultural District downtown and staffed by passionate volunteers, the nonprofit ToonSeum pays homage to the art of the cartoon with rotating exhibits, kids' classes, and hands-on entertainment for all ages. Exhibitions have ranged from collections of original work to special displays honoring artists such as Pennsylvania native, Keith Haring. Contributing to the museum's ongoing educational mission, local cartoonists often donate their own time to teach fun-filled workshops or share the bleak realities of living with a talking cat.

The Groupon Guide to: Great Dates

Planning a date night is the most difficult part of beginning a relationship filled with mutual respect, lifetime companionship, and maybe even children, if one of you can get a couple days off from work every week to raise them. Earn the affection of your sweet honey with one of these popular date ideas:

  • Walk in the park
  • Walk in the park (angry, silent version)
  • Dinner and a movie and another small snack just because of blood-sugar reasons
  • A long, strenuous hike that tests your commitment to keeping each other alive
  • Holding each other close while huddled under a friend's porch waiting to jump out and surprise them
  • Couples massage and then couples getting dressed again without looking at each other
  • Whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears during a play and gradually getting louder until your relationship is the real play
  • Trying to kiss on an airplane (impossible because of low air pressure, but it makes a funny noise)

This kettle corn is making my blood feel much better.
