Pittsburgh - the City

Throw away any preconceptions you may have of Pittsburgh! My trip here is allowing me to experience the metamorphosis of Steel Town into a world class city destination for travellers. Called "The San Fransisco of the East" for its hill studded location, its other name is "City of Bridges" as it features over 400 (top) - more than Venice! It's a city that takes its sports to heart from past heroes such as base ball star Roberto Clemente (middle) to current teams: Pirates, Penguins and Steelers. Downtown features beautifully restored 19th century buildings as well as soaring modern skyscrapers such as PPG Place (bottom).
