Is that outside Pittsburgh city limits???
I know McKeesport, further up the Mon, is definitely outside Pittsburgh city limits, But I always thought Homestead was part of the city.

Willie, you should know that we specialize in having numerous small municipalities. Homestead is its own borough as is Munhall or West Homestead. The Waterfront development is in West Homestead, I believe.

Well sure, Dave. For instance, instead of Munch goes to Carnivores, I can do "AmishDude goes to Carnivores" as an example: AmishDude starts where he lives at the Oakland/Shadyside "border" and goes through Shadyside, East Liberty and Highland Park, then down the hill to the Allegheny River. AmishDude doesn't cross the river, but he heads upriver until he goes through Verona before he gets to Oakmont. He gets back from Oakmont by reversing the route.

There! I just gave very clear directions for AmishDude to get to Carnivores and back without naming one street! Probably the easiest/quickest way as well, although there other alternatives.

And don't forget to give people directions featuring phrases like "then turn left where the Gee Bees used to be."

Aaaack! Gee Bees is gone?
Musta missed that one for my layoff threads!

But (LOL!) giving directions using extinct landmarks IS a 'Burgh tradition as well!
