I haven't been to Pittsburgh in a few years. And even though there wasn't a game today, me 'n Goody Two Shoes drove over and spent a few hours down by Heinz Field, PNC Park and the DelMonte Building.
Coming into town on the West End bridge. I think we're crossing over the Monongahela River.
Heinz Field, where the 5 time champions of the NFL play.
They even have black & gold fire hydrants in Pittsburgh.
Photo mural on the side of Heinz Field.
Gate A (facing the river).
Having thoughts of sneaking in......yeah right!
The Camera Totin' Idiot and the Chief. That's Arthur J. Rooney to you non-believers.
Me 'n the Chief discussing a few things.
This sign says it all.
Some of the heros of my youth. Can you hear Springsteen screaming out 'Glory Days?' I can.
Me & the Great One, Roberto Clemente.
Me & my number 1 hero, Willie Stargell.
The 6th Bridge over the Allegheny River.
The building with the white roof in the background is the Convention Center.
Me following a great meal at Jerone Bettis' Grille 36. I highly recommend the Carolina Burger!
Jerome's Grille 36.
A little of the Pittsburgh skyline.
The point, where the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers form the Ohio River.
All-in-all, a great day to be in Pittsburgh. Pity I can't afford to go back next week when the Steelers are playing.

Nice shots...nice visit. Today's the first big day for the Steelers...I'll be rooting for them...at least until they play Miami :-)
Looks like a great way to spend the afternoon and you got some great pictures to boot!
Enjoyed your photos of Pittsburgh; we were recently there for the first time and saw many of the same things, but didn't know what they all were! Travels with Children has the details.
