National Find a Rainbow Day
Go on a rainbow-hunt, make some rainbow crafts, or simply read about the science and discovery of the beautiful arc that represents so many different things.
Perhaps one of the more interesting and yet lesser-known holidays is an event that is affectionately known as Find a Rainbow Day. As the reader may have already guessed, this celebration occurs during the month of April each year –after all, the early spring is known for its fair share of these beautifully stunning phenomena of refracted light!.
Of course, finding a rainbow is not as easy as it may sound but, if a person is lucky enough to find themselves outside just after a rainstorm in early April, it may just be possible to catch a quick glimpse and even take a snapshot of one of these wonderful natural events. With some extra luck, it may even be possible to spot a double rainbow!
So, in this case, it appears that there are indeed times when a bit of rain is not necessarily a bad thing!
History of Find a Rainbow Day
The science behind rainbows was recorded in 1693. This is when scientists realized that rainbows are caused by light from the sun bending in such a way from the raindrops that it causes a rainbow.
Throughout human history, rainbows have often been a sign of hope and wellness. And, of course, many people know the legend that if one is ever able to find the bottom of the rainbow, they might also find a leprechaun’s pot of gold waiting for them! This legend originates from Ireland and stories of leprechauns have been around since as far back as the 8th century.
While finding the bottom of a rainbow might not actually be possible in terms of science, it’s still a fun legend and story for kids, as well as adults who are kids-at-heart. And a great way to celebrate Find a Rainbow Day!
How to Celebrate Find a Rainbow Day
Quite a few ways to celebrate Find a Rainbow Day can be imagined. It might be fun to grab some friends and try to find a rainbow, although this activity may be dependent on the weather. While rain isn’t usually the kind of weather people prefer, when it comes to Find a Rainbow Day, it sure is!
Host a Rainbow Themed Party
Have some friends over to make rainbow crafts and treats, or decorate the house with all things rainbow-like. Don’t forget to serve rainbow-themed foods. If baking rainbow foods at home isn’t appealing, then colorful candy-like M&M’s or Skittles can be a great snack. On the healthier side, a rainbow-colored tray of fruits and veggies can be a simple, tasty treat that guests will love.
To make a rainbow-themed party even better, have every friend dress in clothes of a different color of the rainbow. Then, line up in color order and take an instant photo that everyone can use to remember the party with!
Make a Rainbow Treat in the Kitchen 
Many people enjoy cooking colorful foods on this day; treats such as jello and cookies might be some of the most common items.
When it comes to rainbows and baking, food coloring can be a great friend. When baking foods like cookies or cakes, food coloring is the easiest way to bring bright, rainbow colors to the baked dessert.
Some other options for making rainbow-themed foods come from more natural ways to color baked goods. Many powdered forms of fruits or vegetables can be purchased at health food stores (like powdered carrot for orange, or strawberry for pink). However, unlike using commercial food coloring, it is important to note that these types of coloring can change the flavor slightly.
Make Projects with Rainbows
Making crafts related to rainbows can be simple or complicated, depending on the type of project chosen. Use some colored paper to cut out and glue together the pieces of a rainbow. Or grab some colored markers to draw fun and easy rainbows on white paper.
Stained glass window kits can be purchased at craft stores for making a rainbow to hang in the sunshine. Or, for those who are really invested in the day, knitting or crocheting a rainbow scarf or socks with many colors of yarn can also be a clever way to bring rainbows into the day!
Watch Reading Rainbow 
A classic show for children of the 80’s and 90’s, Reading Rainbow aired new shows on public television in the United States from 1983 until 1999. Plus, the old episodes were then shown as reruns for another ten years. Now, they can easily be located through various sources online.
This show, hosted by LeVar Burton, was meant to encourage children to read. Every episode focused on a specific topic from a chosen children’s book for that episode, and also recommended new books for children to check out from the library. For some people, watching old episodes of the Reading Rainbow might be a fun activity to bring some nostalgia and, for rainbow lovers, it could be a cool way to see what their parents may have watched when they were children!
Look for Four Leaf Clovers 
Finding the end of a rainbow might not be possible and, even if it was, there’s no way to keep it as a souvenir! But finding a four-leaf clover might be a bit more feasible. It can be a fun little souvenir denoting the search for rainbows, and might even bring some good luck. At the very least, it will provide memories of rainbow-hunting on Find a Rainbow Day.

River, & Towboat, Allegheny
Monday – photo by Mitch Waxman A humble narrator was at the start of one of his long constitutional scuttles recently, here in Pittsburgh, and my route for the day involved walking on the Allegheny River’s shoreline and the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. That’s the Fort Duquesne Bridge pictured above. The light was fairly extraordinary, with the atmospherics involving temperatures of about 75…

The Fort Duquesne Bridge
The Fort Duquesne Bridge in Pittsburgh From its early conception to its contemporary status, the Fort Duquesne Bridge has been a significant architectural marvel and a symbol of Pittsburgh’s resilience and innovation. The saga of this bridge is filled with numerous unprecedented events, earned nicknames, and notable milestones. The Fort Duquesne Bridge, a double-decked bowstring arch bridge,…

Do you have recommendations for what to do and see in Pittsburgh? And is it easy to get around by bus/subway etc?
anon I’m so sorry, I started replying to this at the airport on my way home then saved it to drafts and forgot to go back and publish, oops! anyway…
ok, please bear in mind I am just a person who has visited a few times so this is in no way exhaustive, and will obviously be coloured by how easy things are to get to without a car and things I personally find interesting!
presented in no particular order…
heinz history centre & sports museum
go for a wander through the strip district
fort pitt museum & point state park
national aviary (fun on its own but would thoroughly recommend the penguin encounter as an extra)
andy warhol museum
carnegie science centre (though I just went to a specific exhibit so I don’t actually know about the museum as a whole but I liked what I visited)
walk the three rivers heritage trail along the north shore & visit the mister rogers statue (and I always enjoy walking over one or other of the three sisters bridges to get across from downtown and back afterwards)
take a trip on the inclines (duquesne is the prettiest and has the best views of the city at the top but personally I like to go up the mon - when it’s not closed that is - walk along grandview then come back down via duquesne)
point of view sculpture (just a bit further along grandview from the duquesne incline)
pittsburgh has a couple of theatres so it’s always worth checking out what’s on during your trip, and pittsburgh has some great restaurants/bars to check out too.
also, not really a “thing to do” but I will never get tired of arriving via the fort pitt tunnel when coming in from the airport and downtown just explodes in front of you as you emerge!
there are some other places I haven’t visited yet but are on my list, including the zoo & aquarium, phipps conservatory, carnegie museums of art and natural history, the frick, and randyland.
on the second question, downtown & the areas close by are very walkable but I find it is pretty easy to get around on public transport, yes. PRT now has an app (ready2ride) that includes a journey planner and live trackers (amongst other stuff), lets you buy a range of different types of pass that you then use by just scanning your phone when you get on, and which covers buses, light rail and the inclines. as someone who lives in london and is used to just tapping my phone to travel on public transport, this was way easier for me than having to think about paying fares every time and took a lot of anxiety out of using buses!
the T (light rail) is also free between downtown and the north shore - all the stops between first avenue and allegheny - which is handy! I also think it’s neat that most bus stops have a QR code you can scan for live arrivals info, which also helps you check you’re at the right stop :)

Gathering notes and informations for writing my fic and oh lordt does the Library of Congress have maps.
Map circa 1754, from Philly to Northern NC. It even has Fort Duquesne!
Distances to spots from major towns in VA
Tumblr media
Importantly, this map traces The Great Waggon Road, which goes through the Appalachians and heads to Philly. At first glance this looks similar to present-day route 81 through the Blue Ridge. Which is a long but pretty drive.
Dumb shit below the cut
Silly names in Virginia you didn't ask about but I am going to tell you anyway:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dragonville, VA. Apparently situated near the BEST land bridge.
Bonus facts: King And Queen County, VA has the distinction of being one of the few counties in the continental US that had a smaller population recorded in the 2010 census than the 1790 census. It also has one of the most metal seals.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
This is pronounced Stawnton, you say, surely? Surely?
No. Its Stanton.
Tumblr media
*giggling*
Tumblr media
Just, a grist mill. Not the grist mill. Who's grist mill? I dunno, just some grist mill.
Tumblr media
There appear to be two Balls (lol) in Lancaster county, VA. Not to be confused with Lancaster county, PA.
Anyway this has been some rambling.

Hills/dale
Wednesday – photo by Mitch Waxman Constitutional in motivation, I’m nevertheless always carrying a camera kit with me on the long walks that I’m forced to endure – as long time readers will attest. Endure has been a proper adjective in recent years, as a paucity of any remaining youthfulness left in me is draining away, leaving behind only a gray and wrinkled husk. I once was pretty, and not…

I love history and learning, so share some facts about your home city or the city you currently live in.
No specific amount of facts, just what you think of
I'll start
We use to supply the most steel in the world. During WWII the Allies got 95% of their steel from Pittsburgh
Rosie The Riveter was actually made by someone from Pittsburgh who actually went to my College, Art Institute of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh has a Scottish spelling but a German pronunciation.
Our main amusement park, Kennywood, and many of the surrounding neighborhoods were battle grounds of the French and Indian War
Heinz!!! The ketchup, the mustard, the everything! It is all Pittsburgh made and honestly we can't stand any other ketchup. I was happy to see it in London
We are also known as Three Rivers since the Allegheny, Ohio, and Monongahela come to a point downtown, which is where Fort Duquesne was.
Mt. Washington is where George Washing retired to.
We apparently have the most bridges in the world?? The small walking bridges in venice do not count
Air is still very polluted from the Steel Mill days, but not as bad. Before when you would step out you were covered in soot, you had to take an extra pair of clothes with you
We talk in stUPID PITTSBURGHESE AND PEOPLE SAY "YINZ" AND I HATE IT
Today we are mainly known for our sports, we are the only city were all of our teams are the same colors, Black and Gold
