We just spent 24 hours in Pittsburgh and thought it was a decent city. The purpose of the trip was to see a concert in Millvale on Friday night. Traffic was HORRIBLE in Ohio on our way there and we almost missed the concert. Once the traffic cleared we didn’t have any trouble getting there.

We stayed at a hotel by the universities. This area was nice and busy. School was in, people were all around and it was a beautiful day. We walked around Pitt’s campus and just briefly saw a bit of Carnegie Mellon. The “Cathedral of Learning” was a very impressive building. It looked like it was straight out of a superhero movie. It could have easily been a fictional building in Gotham City.

My one main complaint was the construction around the city. There were multiple occasions when we had to alter our directions because roads were closed. Good thing we had my iPhone to help find alternate routes! I know it’s probably not always like that, but it really did make it tough to get around.
