Diesel Wants to “Light Up Carson”
I have only been to Diesel once, but the time that I was there I thought it was nice. It reminded me of an 80’s dance club with its giant lighted wall. So I guess Diesel wants its lights to spill out onto the street this holiday season.
Diesel Club Lounge with the support of the South Side Chamber of Commerce and other local South Side Businesses will hold its first Annual “Light up Carson” Event on Wednesday, November 7th from 7pm-9pm. Due to this year’s lack of funds, Diesel Club Lounge has pledged to donate the $5,000.00 balance of the $7,000.00 total cost to install the holiday lights on East Carson Street this year. Diesel has also pledged that all sales and door donations during the event will be used to set up a fund for a Holiday Light installation every year.
The event will also serve as the kick-off night for the South Side’s “Cans & Coats” Charity Drive benefiting the South Side Food Pantry and the Salvation Army. Patrons and residents can bring gently used coats and canned good items to Diesel throughout the Holiday Season to benefit the needy.
“Light Up Carson” will feature performances by a local artist, a Chinese Auction featuring donations from local businesses, as well as hors d’douevres served by South Side Restaurants.

Wednesday the 7th of November 2007 7:00pm to 9:00pm - dieselpgh.com
Note: I will be posting pictures from the Halloween Event by the end of this week.

Too bad I’ll be in class or else I’d go to this. I love when they light up E. Carson, it looks so pretty
