The guy at the bar and the bartender were in cahoots apparently. We were staying at a nice resort. The bartender wouldn't want to lose a bucket full of cash nightly for the $12 in my pocket. But I get you, we thought long and hard. If we had been at an average place, it would have been “thanks, but no thanks”. This was a high end wedding, at a very nice place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone live in, near, or frequently visit that can give me some ideas of what to do? Where to go? What to see? Ive been there before as a kid but it’s been at least 25 years since I’ve been. I have no idea what there is to do or see. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Have you thought about the Rock & Roll HOF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hurry up, he wants to get home for dinner. so is it worth it, returning from Pittsburgh, to slug across to I90 and up through Cleveland or take your chances with the Penn trucking roads. A few times I've lost a lot of time in Pa when a trucking accident has shut things down. used to have a fun time planning out the optimal route to Happy Valley for a football road trip....

The inclines were cool too. This was just incredible. Coming through the tunnel and over one of the bridges into the city last night.

Last night I was getting Ed Oliver comments On 4/30/2019 at 10:46 PM, JR in Pittsburgh said: Hey brother— been just swamped with work stuff and lurking around here. Hope all is well! mrags: a few tips: 1) ride up the Duquesne incline and see the views of the city on mount washington 2) go to the strip district on Saturday morning 5) catch a pirates game, if you can. 6) in terms of Pittsburgh food, pamela’s Pancakes, Especially get those pancakes— they are the best ever. Doing the incline tonight I think. The strip we didn’t get to this morning. Still planning it tho. Planning on the Pirates game tonight but weather and time may dictate. You weren't kidding about those Pancakes. Some of the best I’ve ever had. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping to do the opener even though we will just be getting back from a long trip. I have a room booked for Nashville, and I’m hell bent on making that one.

We have a bunch of stuff up in the air. The Browns game might be more fun in a list of ways. Too many moving parts at this point. Where would Tommy’s daddy stay in Cleveland???
