My running route is to go up Negley street at 5th avenue and then "get lost in Squirrel Hill". It's different every time! 1/7th the population of NYC and all the traffic and parking problems. I mean, if you're going to have a modern city there are two things to avoid -- rivers and mountains.

I think that the Waterfront area will stay built up. You can't get a seat at the freakin' Eat 'n Park (serving the finest in turnpike-stop cuisine) there on a Friday night! If it weren't for the traffic bottleneck (No city has more bottlenecks than Pittsburgh.) the Waterfront would be even bigger than it is now.

Yeah, you get lost in Sq. Hill sometimes and you end up where you don't want to be. "You lose it here and you're in a world of hurt." - Jesse the Body.

But if I had my druthers, I wouldn't mind living in that area. It's quite nice in some areas. Nice old architecture to the houses, or "haases".

When you say bottleneck, al I can think of is flying over the hill in Greentree on the Parkway and hitting the traffic at Ft. Pitt. It was there that I saw my Grandma swear for the first time. :o)
