Pittsburgh will always remind me of the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz. Yes, there is plenty to do.

First check out Gerald Thurman's <a href = "http://www.roadtripamerica.com/links/Travels-with-Thurman.htm">latest field report<a/> including the Mystery Sandwich at <a href = "http://www.roadtripamerica.com/eats/chiodos.htm">Chiodo's Tavern<a/>.

It might be chilly, but I like the giant marimba-like freeway bridge in Point State Park -- proceed to the SW corner (just beyond Ft. Pitt Museum) to a small, concrete amphitheatre located directly under the interchange of I-376 and I-279. The supports for the bridge include large wooden timbers that resonate with booming tones when vehicle traffic passes overhead.

The famous <a href = "http://www.roadtripamerica.com/places/pittsbrg.htm">Pittsburgh Strip<a/> is worth checking out and if you like either <a href = "http://www.roadtripamerica.com/places/sharon.htm">chocolate<a/> or <a href = "http://www.roadtripamerica.com/eats/qs&l.htm">REALLY, REALLY hot chicken wings<a/> -- consider a visit to close-by Sharon, Pennsylvania.
