Writer/Artist/Designer—Dale McNutt grew up in Western Pennsylvania, and now lives in Uptown—a transitional urban neighborhood perched on a bluff high above the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He lives and works with his wife, Jeanne, former Executive Director of Uptown Partners. They surround themselves with as many youthful “change-makers” as they can — young entrepreneurs, designers and product developers — in a 13,000 sf renovated building that’s both studio and home, and home to StartUptown/Avenu/now named 5thAVE STUDIO —urban incubator and co-working site for technology and social innovation — helping to ensure success for early-stage startup businesses, coworkers, and community redevelopment.
