I had planned a road trip to Pittsburgh last fall with a Cutlass Supreme I used to have but the old girl never made it through the winter, therefore I vowed to make it down to the Burgh' at some point with my new ride. Enjoy!
It's not a road trip for us unless you shuffle through Buffalo
I wanted the weather to hold up so badly
With every nook and cranny, you know it's gonna come out at you sooner or later...
Found it!
This seems to be a popular shot but nonetheless, it was the view from my balcony of the hotel
They. Love. Their. Football. Period
A quarter of the motive of the trip was partially because of this
Twins?
So we're waiting for the gates of PNC Park to open and just hangin by the riverbank and out of nowhere, we hear this *PLOP* ...5 feet later from where we were sitting, a Phillie during bp knocked one outta the park and nearly well...you know
Still looks better in a Tribe uniform
Bucs lose 3-1
Somehow we found the way to the WestEnd Overlook by accident
New Pittsburgh Arena U/C
I find that very simple concepts are emphasized on billboards and bumper stickers when I'm in the U.S...just a random quirk, but interesting
Very much a NYC feel to parts of the downtown...the Triangle, the street lights and the density, I love it
Guess the T station
Good night Pittsburgh!
...had to be back in Canada for work later that day for 4pm...but not before a stop at Tops in NY for a $13 18-pack of Bud which we'd easily pay over $20 for at home

I'd love to go back again soon, perhaps for a Stillers game (Go Bills!) and for another sandwich as my first one was so tasty...Capicola and Egg...I may have to hold back on some of the coleslaw next time when I DO visit again. It's like the weather cleared up for us when we got into the area and turned to dung by the time we had left. All in all though, I was very impressed
Be appreciative of the way Pittsburgh has come along over the years because you have no idea how much Hamilton envies you, with us being a junior version of yinz guys!
Make no mistake, Pittsburgh is tiny compared to Manhattan, but I agree that the city's downtown has moments where you can pretend. The city is one of the few places in the nation with a character that can be mistaken for Manhattan on certain blocks.

Thanx again all!
I've recently just discovered the beauty of PhotoBucket and how easy it is to upload pictures. So with that said, I have more upcoming phototours of Buffalo, Vancouver/Calgary, St. Johns NFLD and a huge roadtrip I made through "BosWash"/Myrtle Beach (except the Boston part) in winter 08'
Stay tuned =D

LoL she's my partner in crime who hails from Ottawa and actually the hat shes wearing, was the motive for us to trek to the Burgh...along with Primantis, Tax Free shopping and PNC Park
