The guy at the bar and the bartender were in cahoots apparently. Expand We were staying at a nice resort. The bartender wouldn't want to lose a bucket full of cash nightly for the $12 in my pocket. But I get you, we thought long and hard. If we had been at an average place, it would have been “thanks, but no thanks”. This was a high end wedding, at a very nice place. 1

Anyone live in, near, or frequently visit that can give me some ideas of what to do? Where to go? What to see? Ive been there before as a kid but it’s been at least 25 years since I’ve been. I have no idea what there is to do or see. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Expand Have you thought about the Rock & Roll HOF?

Expand so is it worth it, returning from Pittsburgh, to slug across to I90 and up through Cleveland or take your chances with the Penn trucking roads. A few times I've lost a lot of time in Pa when a trucking accident has shut things down. used to have a fun time planning out the optimal route to Happy Valley for a football road trip....

Last night I was getting Ed Oliver comments On 5/1/2019 at 2:46 AM, JR in Pittsburgh said: Hey brother— been just swamped with work stuff and lurking around here. Hope all is well! mrags: a few tips: 1) ride up the Duquesne incline and see the views of the city on mount washington 2) go to the strip district on Saturday morning 5) catch a pirates game, if you can. 6) in terms of Pittsburgh food, pamela’s Pancakes, Especially get those pancakes— they are the best ever. Expand Doing the incline tonight I think. The strip we didn’t get to this morning. Still planning it tho. Planning on the Pirates game tonight but weather and time may dictate. You weren't kidding about those Pancakes. Some of the best I’ve ever had. 4
