Over the weekend I had the time and chance to go to Pittsburgh, Pa. simply because I wanted to. I actually like the city a lot. It has a completely different vibe to it than the other Pennsylvanian cities I visit. Unlike Philadelphia, "The Burgh" is much quieter and slower than the fast paced business oriented Philly streets. While I was in Pittsburgh I had the chance to explore their parks, people, and food!
Being from Texas, I'm really big on visiting places with friendly people and I must say; The People in Pittsburgh are AWESOME. They're super friendly and the city is so clean...compared to the rest of the major cities in the state (lol). Although it isn't the most diverse city it does have a great deal of character and culture. I recognized a great Italian presence and Polish as well!! Black people, we're everywhere so I wasn't surprised to see us but I was surprised at how well the city has integrated. It may not be a Utopian society but the people there surely do share a lot of space and it seemed acceptable. The people seemed to have created an atmosphere of cohesion.
Aside from the people I was amazed at the landscape of the city; The skyscrapers aren't numerous but their designs are really unique and cool. Seeing as how the city is known for its 3 rivers and bridges I think its only right that they don't cloud the aerial views with buildings. Speaking of rivers and bridges, the city is divided by these structures and creates an interesting traffic flow where commuters must wind their way through hills, mountain sides, down through valleys & troughs only to arrive at bridges that reach over sprawling rivers which seem endless in the horizon. The sunset is truly beautiful.
