Chris Osburn was born loving old things.
As a kid, he was a regular at O’Malley’s Antiques, the Shadyside store his aunt Mildred O’Malley ran for more than four decades. The young boy browsed the merchandise and listened to elderly customers reminisce.
Osburn, who works full-time in a foundry, turned that love of vintage goods into a lucrative side hustle by treasure hunting and then selling his finds on eBay. Now, 15 years later, he and his fiancé Monique Ricci own Brass Monkey Trading Co. in West View.

The price tag for all that development comes in around 600 million, but the state of Pennsylvania just bucked up $10 million to give the project a good swift North Sidekick in the butt.
