Morrow Park sign designation was placed at Baum Boulevard and Liberty Avenue. Bloomfield’s only WWII monument was placed at this site known as the Gateway to the 8th Ward. In 1922 the Park was named for Eustes Morrow, Pittsburgh City Controller 40 years, who resided on Liberty Avenue. |
Bloomfield was Annexed to the City of Pittsburgh in 1868. The location of this sign at Baum Boulevard and Cypress Street help define the borders between sister neighborhoods of Bloomfield and Shadyside (the other side of Center Avenue) while elaborating about an important part of history. |

Public Works Director Rob Kaczorowski became Acting Director in October 2009 and Director in January 2010. He has served the City of Pittsburgh for over three decades. He was enlightened to the needs of our residents at the April 14th Bloomfield Citizens Council Community BlockWatch meeting and carried our message back to Mayor Luke Ravenstahl. Finally, the Bloomfield Citizens Council had a commitment to repave the badly deteriorated corridor of Liberty Avenue. Thanks to Rob’s efforts, Bloomfield received a face lift.
