Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh gets a bad rap. I can tell by the way people made faces when I said I was taking a business trip there. I remember visiting the city in 1988 and being favorably impressed, so I was looking forward to it. The city was smoky and gritty in the height of the steel production days, but a combined clean-up with the drop in steel production resulted in a shiny, quite inhabitable city. Pittsburgh sits at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, which converge to form the Ohio River right here, to the right of this shot. I took this photo from a bridge over the Allegheny River as I walked to work in the morning fog.
