I've been reading this forum (and it's previous incarnation) for years now...I registered some time ago but never posted until now. Over the course of several years, having moved to the Pittsburgh area for college, I've been excited to see the developments in this city. I have lived in Johnstown my entire life, so to see Western Pennsylvania's major city growing and reinventing itself is EXCELLENT. I am especially excited by the recent population numbers (even in Johnstown!) I love my new adopted city, and I can't wait to see what will happen in the future!
Austinlee, thanks for the photos from the burbs... The reason I moved to Pittsburgh was to go to Robert Morris University, so to see the campus in some great shots is awesome. I'm actually getting a masters degree there, so to see the campus over the course of 6 years has been cool. It's a growing school...and the new developments there are pretty cool, even if not a dense campus like CMU or Pitt.
Your photos of the corporate buildings out in the west hills are really nice too...I work at the Marriott out there, so I tend to see lots of guests for the Dick's HQ, the Atlantic Aviation terminal, and the Oncology Nursing Society (those last couple photos). I always thought they were nice designs for office buildings that could easily be built with boring and bland designs.
I thought for my first post, I might contribute something you guys would be interested to see. I have a couple pictures of the development at 600 Liberty Ave. right next to 3 PNC, the renovation into what's called 'The Lantern Building'.
First try at the photo...I'll see if it loads correctly.
