The amazing photo above of fans watching the Pirates win the 1960 World Series from high in the Tower of Power (er, Cathedral of Learning) is from Google’s newly hosted archive of pretty much every photo ever taken for LIFE magazine. Included among them are many breathtaking photographs of Pittsburgh. Everything I want to say about the beauty, pathos, strength, wit, and history of the city is in there.
It’s hard to be annoyed at the way Google is eating so many media when they’re using their power for such good.
