Bingo Beat

Here's our woman about town reading Pittburgh's free Bingo Beat newspaper.
Leslie and Andy looking like a million bucks (left) and the three sisters (right). The overlook was in a neighborhood of Pittsburgh called Mt.Washington. We accessed it from the famous Monongahela Incline, which is a car on rails pulled by cables up a 60-degree slope. Its actually part of the mass transit system although its heavily used by tourists seeking grand-canyon sized views. Station Square is an entertainment district at the bottom of the incline. We ate at Joe's Crab Shack there. Pittsburgh reminds me a little of Boston. The downtown is about the same size as Boston's just by the look of the skyline, and the geography of the place lends itself to lots of little neighborhoods like villages adding up to the city as a whole. The WYSE building was in Mt. Washington.

Saved the 3 sisters pic (as well as the Leslie & Maggie pic), what a nice one of you 3 Irish beauties in a row :) So glad you, Leslie, & Maggie could get together in Erie & Pittsburgh. Mom
