The University of Pittsburgh purchased the former Hemingway’s Cafe property on Forbes Avenue in Oakland. Hemingway’s Cafe shuttered in May after decades of operation, according to wtae.com. The cafe’s owner said he wanted to spend more time with his family and felt it was time to step away, according to wtae.com. Jared Stonesifer, a university spokesperson, said Hemingway’s Cafe was a longstanding establishment in Oakland and had been woven into the fabric of Pitt’s campus for four decades. He added that generations of Pitt students celebrated milestones at the cafe, forged lifelong friendships, and made it their first stop back on campus when visiting. Stonesifer said the university appreciates Hemingway’s rich history and recognizes that it will always have a place in the hearts and memories of countless Pitt students. Stonesifer declined to elaborate on the university’s plans for the property, according to triblive.com.
