Light Up Night

The City of Pittsburgh kicked off the Holiday Season with tons of festivities downtown on the weekend of November 18th and 19th. The big thing that occurred was on Friday night when they lit the christmas tree in market square. Another hot item that opened this weekend in the city was the PPG ice skating rink. Fans were surprised to see Tom Cruise and his daughter Suri skating along side them in the rink. Cruise is still in town as he continues filming his movie "One Shot". The two looked like they were having tons of fun together and fans gave them their space to enjoy each other's presence. It was a big weekend for the city as many families and kids came down to kick off their holiday season. Bands marched in front of the Macy's department store before they revealed their windows with the latest clothing styles that they hope many people buy as gifts this year. The most important thing for the city is that these two days brought many people downtown eating at restaurants and buying things which brings money in to help the city.
