a downtown peebles... impressive... one of my co-workers drove all the way from Wooster to Coshocton just to get Tim Hortons doughnuts

not even Souvlaki's? I had a delightful meal there... does Athens have an Indian restaurant? What about Thai?

Seeing Pittsburgh's PPG Place at age 4. Fell in love with Pittsburgh immediately and constantly dreamed about living there... that dream has not yet been fulfilled at age 24.

I'm quite angry that my Penn State Nittany Lions are wasting a game on their schedule versus Youngstown State! Isn't YSU playing Pitt this year as well?

Why don't you try looking in Wooster? I managed to find a job here... and now I'm close to exciting cities like Mansfield, Massillon and Canton!

The construction/winter joke ceased to be funny about 700 years ago.

My dad's corned beef hash (feat. cabbage, potatos, yada yada yada)

Count me among the Columbus Crew fans.

I am the first member of my immediate family to reside in Ohio (beautiful Wooster) My cousin married someone from Sandusky, lived in Hamilton for a few years... and now they live in Erie PA. I have a weird cousin living in Medina and an aunt (with cousins) living in Hudson.

Here's an awesome site dealing with PGH neighborhoods http://www.pittsburghneighborhoodtours.com and the classic http://www.visitpittsburgh.com

cool... you're only 5 spots behind Mesa

yay

oh yeah... i remember seeing that... it was dark... so excuse my forgetfulness

what is the edifice in the 2nd photo? it looks badass

I assume you're referring to Pittsburgh's tallest... U.S. Steel Tower. It certainly looks "brutal", but it is not an example of the brutalist architectural movement, which is a poured concrete style. It instead features a steel exoskeleton which effectively evokes industry. There are no examples of brutalist skyscraper architecture in Pittsburgh, though there is a large brutalist building "Posvar Hall" in the University of Pittsburgh's campus in Oakland. Oakland is home to most of Pittsburgh's major universities... including Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Mellon and Carlow. It serves as the "university city", civic centre, hyper-active office market, research centre, vibrant and diverse residential neighborhood, has world class health care institutions, several business districts and is one of Pittsburgh's many nightlife destinations. IMO Oakland is one of America's greatest urban neighborhoods. Oakland is east of downtown and its streets are packed densely with an eclectic mixture of late 1800s/early 1900s housing styles (including many rows). Small ethnic grocers and interesting restaurants of all types line the streets. The pulsating energy of student life is made manifest in the bars, coffeeshops, ice cream parlors, student-occupied rowhouses and record shops of the neighborhood. From the grand civic architecture of the universities... to the intimate human-scale of the residential streets... to the grand entrance to one of America's great urban parks... Schenley... Oakland has it all.

This is a thread devoted exclusively to skyline shots of my favorite city... perhaps there's no other skyline that can be photographed so many ways... the dramatic topography and eclectic architecture provide unlimited opportunities... as one of the world's most dinstictive skylines... Pittsburgh exudes power, grace, elegance and romance. Welcome... to Pittsburgh! Pittsburgh's 2nd skyline... Oakland first time using a tripod... ugh... oh well, it still looks cool i'll have to get this shot in the morning some time I *wish* I would've included the child on the swing in this shot... oh well, it was the first time I ever used a camera! All these skyline shots... and I still don't have my favorite skyline perspective in my collection... the daring shot of downtown from the top of the Cathedral of Learning... taken by MayDay

You're rather knowledgable of Bengal assistant coaches for a Seahawks fan, grasscat.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06027/645226.stm Meet 'Seven' Friday, January 27, 2006 http://www.post-gazette.com/images3/20060127aoSevenboy_450.jpg Meet Seven and his mom, Stephenie Barber. Seven was born Oct. 26, 2004, between Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's fourth and fifth consecutive victories of his rookie season. Although Seven's parents -- who live in Indiana, Pa. -- are often asked whether they named their son after Mr. Roethlisberger, they were actually inspired by another Western Pennsylvania institution: After driving by an 84 Lumber sign, they "decided to go with something numerical," said Mrs. Barber...

I wasn't aware True was an exclusively "gay bar"... I haven't been there... but I was under the impression it was open to all people... but was popular with gay clientele.

As many of you may know... Ohio's 3rd favorite NFL team (THE Pittsburgh Steelers) will be the AFC's representative against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl Xtra-Large. Post here to discuss the upcoming championship game! I... along with thousands of my Ohio breathren... will be rooting hard for the boys in black and gold! Here we go, Steelers! Here we go!
