Pittsburgh, PA. Where I was born and raised. |
Here are some great pictures of Pittsburgh, PA. My hometown. I didn't realize how beautiful it was when I lived there. At one time, there were 17 inclines in Pittsburgh. Now only two remain - the Duquense and Monongahela inclines. The Duquesne Incline is operated by the Society for the Preservation of The Duquesne Heights Incline. Here's a link: http://incline.pghfree.net/historycover.htm The Monongahela Incline is operated by the Port Authority Transit of Allegheny County. http://www.portauthority.org/PAAC/CustomerInfo/Inclines/tabid/119/Default.aspx Pittsburgh, PA is often called the City of Bridges. It's no wonder. I believe there are over 700 bridges in the city and over 1900 in Allegheny County. http://pittsburgh.about.com/cs/pictures/l/bl_bridge_1.htm Here's a virtual tour of Pittsburgh Architecture. It includes Fallingwater, located about 1 1/2 hours south of downtown Pittsburgh. Fallingwater was designed in 1936 by Frank Lloyd Wrighthttp://pittsburgh.about.com/od/pictures/ig/architecture/index.htm Now, just click on one of the pictures below to see an enlarged view. |
