We visited relatives around New Stanton and Greensburg over the weekend, got up early Monday and drove into the city.
Arrived just after rush hour and took a Duckee tour (city & river tour in an Amphibious vehicle)
Then we rode up the Monongahela Incline.
We drove over to the Heinz History Center
Then went to the strip, shopping and eating at
Enrico Biscotti Company
Klavons
Mullaney's Harp & Fiddles
PA Macaroni Company
Finished with dinner at Primanti Brothers.
Drove back home.

It was a beautiful day and very impressed at how nice the city looks. I was last there in the early 80s.

Thanks for all the advice. Next time I'll go to a Pirates game. The park looked great.

You haven't tried to follow State 51 through Uniontown, then. NT. Mc Mike Aug 2012 #20

Can't say that I have. Is there some unwritten law in S.W. PA against road signs? HopeHoops Aug 2012 #21
