In the Neighborhood

Last Friday we went to an event called "Creative Mornings Pittsburgh."  It is "a monthly breakfast lecture series" that is hosted in cities all over the world.  This month's theme was Happiness and the Pittsburgh Creative Mornings team hosted David Newell, or Mr. McFeeley from Mister Rogers Neighborhood.

Because we are cool and hip and young and live within walking distance from the historic Kelly Strayhorn Theater where Creative Mornings was hosted this month, we walked over with Attison, had some coffee and a scone and met Mr. McFeeley.

Mr. McFeeley talked about how he found Happiness in his job, working for Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.  He talked about how great Fred Rogers was and why "the neighborhood" was such a ground breaking show for kids.  He also showed us some puppets and said "Speedy Delivery" like 35 times.

Thanks to Mr. McFeeley, we now know that episodes of Mister Rogers Neighborhood are available on pbskids.org/rogers and we can we can watch them anytime we want.  We also have Mr. McFeeley's autograph to look back on this first tv celebrity meet and greet experience.

Speedy Delivery!
