Made it to Pittsburgh the same day. Wow! David drove and drove and didn’t get sleepy once.
Three rivers offer the city plenty of vistas, bridges, parks, plazas, and even fountains. Market Square, Andy Warhol Museum, The Strip, Heinz History Museum and many more landmarks allowed us to get a good idea of its vibrancy. The presence of iron and steel is ubiquitous. Lots of history here, history I didn’t know a lot about. Like the Underground Railroad, Rachel Carson, Roberto Clemente, Heinz and of course Carnegie and Mellon.
Last night we met a young woman from New York at dinner and conversed for a long time. It was pleasant to share drinks and supper with someone.
Warhol’s museum - filled 7 stories with his art. I enjoyed it, David not so much. The Strip district reminded us of the way the Randolph Street Market used to be. Becoming hip and trendy but still with plenty of fruit stalls, fish markets, and Stamoolis grocery store since 1909. The Greek presence everywhere.
One more item scratched off my bucket list. Today we bid farewell to the steel city and head south to Fallingwater.
