What a city! I have never seen anything remotely like that.

We took a short trip to Pittsburgh last month, and were able to enjoy this pleasant city in beautiful weather. The city is where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio River, which flows west to the Mississippi River. My family had driven through Pittsburgh when I was a child, and I remember smoke and steel mills. Now only one steel mill remains, the smoke is gone, and the city is prosperous. The views are excellent from Mount Washington, an escarpment south of the downtown area, served by two pairs of antique funicular rail cars (we went up and down the Duquesne Incline; the other (Monangahela Incline, about a mile away) was closed. The visible bridges are among 446 in Pittsburgh, the most of any city in the world (and 3x the number in Venice). The bronze figure on the bench, “Sidewalk Judge,” is by Seward Johnson, an heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and an artist. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2024/April-2024/Pittsburgh-Apr-24 Comments and critiques eagerly anticipated.
