I went to Pittsburgh, or "Pix-berg" as the locals call it, for a tourism conference, November 2008.
It was freakin cold and blustery there, but quite picturesque in a hilly, post-industrial sorta way.

Everyone drops the "F bomb" there quite casually--they use it as a noun, adjective, verb and adverb.

I had a fun time wandering the city in the snow, crossing rivers, riding the Monongahela Incline, touring old neighborhoods, drinking 'Iron City" beer, and visiting the
amazing Andy Warhol Museum--
5 stories tall and a complete fascination.
(and of course they had a photobooth in the basement)
riding the incline up to Mount Washintgon
Mount Washington neighborhood
Some Heinz "pop art" at the
convention center.

They sure do love the Steelers in Pixberg
