Just got home, very cool and beautiful city. Entering downtown area, one must come through tunnel. It is pretty cool. One second you’re cruising through a tunnel. Then wham, beautiful down town area is light at end of tunnel. Check it out if you get opportunity

A group buddies made a long weekend trip there to see another buddy they moved there from Louisiana. We had a great long weekend. Lots to see and we didn’t scratch the surface.

Yes, lots of great views in the downtown area. I’ve had a few good dinners atop Mt. Washington looking down on the city lights.

I made the mistake of scheduling sales calls opening day of deer season in Pittsburg. Apparently it’s only 2 weeks or so and it’s such a big deal, they cancel school. Saints were playing the Steelers that weekend so it was worth it. Beautiful city. Not like bitch arse Philly.

Went last summer and really enjoyed it. People were great, easy to get around on foot or Uber, some great neighborhood dive bars, and a beautiful baseball stadium. Did most of it solo while the wife attended a conference.

Last time I was up there was 50 years ago this year (probably about this week!). I was in my uncle's wedding and I remember we going to one of the first Pirate's games in Three Rivers Stadium.

As a kid my great-grandmother lived on the hill in McKeesport. I remember at that time the sun rarely broke through the smog before noon. Even by 1970 the air was a lot cleaner.

I moved there long ago while a HS student and hated the idea. It turned out to be a great place to live. We used to go see the Pirates all the time and it was great. The Steelers were too damn hard to get tickets but I'm still a fan. Pretty downtown, but the countryside is also very nice. White water rafting on the Ohiopyle River is highly recommended as is seeing Fallingwater on the way. It's a completely different universe from Philadelphia, thankfully.
