Pittsburgh Photo Blogging: Part Two

This series of photos is actually chronologically before the ones in Part One, for those of you scoring at home. You might see some duplication, but it will be at night. So it will still be different. And cooler.

 

This is the view from our hotel room

 

And, if you leaned against the window, you could see PNC Park from our hotel. I'm sure that if you are a math genius, you can calculate which room we stayed in from the geographic location of these landmarks. But it would be weird if you did that.

 

This is the Byham Theater. I like the way they made the marquee modern looking and old-fashioned at the same time.

 

Here is PNC Park from across the river at night. Notice how the sign looks all lit up.

 

Another view of PNC Park.

 

The statue of Roberto Clemente and the Roberto Clemente Bridge at night.

 

The statue of Willie Stargell.

 

The statue of Honus Wagner. You can see the carvings of a couple kids on the side. I wonder if this was originally at Three Rivers Stadium and/or Forbes Field and moved here. If so, that would be impressive.

 

Jen and I enjoying a celebratory drink and enormous plate of nachos at Jerome Bettis' Grille 36. I didn't realize it at the time, but a gust of wind must have blown a Terrible Towel in from the other room right as the picture was being taken, obscuring Jen's face. Darn those gusty restaurants!

 

 This is part of a big mural that is on one of the walls of the restaurant. If I ever own a restaurant, I'm going to recreate this for it with me replacing Jerome.
