Pretty good list. It sure did make me homesick!
A few additions:
'DVE Rocks!
The University of Pittsburgh (Lets go PITT!)
Pittsburgh Zoo...one of the best I've been to
Penn Pilsner
BTW...chi chi's is out of business :(.
well, chi chi's food did suck the last time I was there (4 years ago).
I don't miss 'DVE so much b/c we have some rockin' stations out here.
Haven't been to the zoo since it was renovated. Have heard good things & will go next time I visit.
Pitt...Yes! thanks for the reminder.
