We just got back from Pittsburgh to visit my wife's family. My SIL and her husband can keep that town, no desire to ever return. Traffic isn't a nightmare there, it is just flat impossible. We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Homestead down on the waterfront. My SIL lives nearby in the area of Monitor St. The best part of the whole trip was pumping gas at a Mobil at Hazelwood - Beechwood - Browns Hill Road. I watched a car plow over a median, wipe out some signs, and tear away. It was great.
We ate at the Church Brew Works. The food was edible but not special and definitely not worthy of the prices. I didn' try any of their micro beer. The women in the group did enjoy several chocolate-mint martinis.
The people of Pittsburgh love to make left hand turns at red lights, completely disobey all traffic signals and generally drive like crazies. Apparently 4-way stop etiquette isn't part of Pennsylvania drivers education.
I enjoyed the insane hills as we quickly passed through West Virginia. We took 70 from my MIL's house in Indiana all the way over. Getting to see the eastern part of Ohio was better than Pittsburgh. We saw 10+ road kill coyotes going through Ohio. I have never seen so many grease spot coyotes. I found this interesting/intriguing.
I will keep my cornfields and open spaces, way too fast paced for this hillbilly.
