If I were anywhere near Pittsburgh, I’d be in Troy Hill today for the home tour simply because of the house featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article today.  If you can’t attend, you can read more about Troy Hill housing in ‘Munster House’ no more, from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette in October 2005.

I found a neat map of downtown Pittsburgh on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette website that I wanted to share. 
If you are looking for a building, bar or restaurant, entertainment venue, or a parking garage, it’s probably got it.

In honor of the new book celebrating Pittsburgh’s bridges Bob Regan and Tim Fabian (the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has their book signing schedule), and the winner of the design competition for the West End Bridge walkway, Endres Ware, (you can check out the designs at the Pittsburgh Bridge competition website) I thought I’d offer up a couple websites for those [...]
