it's good times in the Paris of Appalachia these days... championship parades are a quad-monthly occurrence... asian/latin fusion restaurants buzz with energy into the night... Brandon has decided to stick around... and the upcoming G-20 summit will focus the intense glare of the global media... producing countless cliche-ridden but ultimately enthusiastic profiles of this city of many bridges situated amongst many lush hills
there were arts and gay festivals held simultaneously downtown... i milled about the semi-operational Point fountain a bit
one of National Geographic's "Top 10 Adventure Cities in America!"
everybody's happy
confluence!
Fort Duquesne... home to a long-vanquished French garrison
Michigan
a tot ambling along Fort Pitt... the beginnings of Anglo domination
Italian soccer players
a dramatic setting
Pittsburgh Pride 2009... the culminating day was a parade followed by musiq!
I was being lazy and missed most of the parade... but it's the people watching that are more interesting anyway
the goodie truck
Eric Himan rocks!
The Pittsburgh Passion is one of Pittsburgh's professional women's football teams... I attended a game a couple years ago and was astounded by the high level of play.
new construction and rehabilitation of old abounds in Downtown Pittsburgh
cooling the toes
it's a fun city
the next day there was a parade in honour of the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins! Here's me crossing the bridge on my way to the parade!

Game 4 hero Jordan Staal pointing at me!

here's what we all came to see... the Prince of Wales Trophy! Woohoo... Eastern Conference Champs back-to-back! Also pictured: Bill Guerin
Head coach Disco Dan Bylsma... who arrived in the nick of time to transform an underachieving squad floundering in 10th place in mid-February into Stanley Cup champions!
Game 7 hero Maxime Talbot!
USS Hal Gill's daughter leading the way! We'll miss ya... have fun in Montreal! also pictured: Kris Letang
Game 6 hero... immortalized with those incredible blocks of Johan Franzen in front of the open net at the end of the game... my favorite Penguin... ROB SCUDERI (holding child)... I'm devastated that he left for the Kings... but they offered him a dump truck full of money... thanks for the memories, "The Piece"
Hail Satan! Miroslav Satan, Tyler Kennedy and what I can only assume is Tyler's mom... Satan had a poor season... and was demoted to the Wilkes-Barre Baby Penguins... but he came back during the playoffs and was a crucial component... Tyler Kennedy also had a great postseason
