Every time I go back to Pittsburgh, I appreciate it a little more. Despite the stories about the economic problems of the city, they seem to make improvements each year. From the new painted buses, to the new architecture, to the preservation of the old architecture, to the always great attention to the arts, it somehow seems to be getting things right. Not to mention the fact that Pittsburgh doesn't have six months of unhealthy hot and humid weather during summer vacation.

No, I have to say I really like this city. I'll post my favorite pictures of the trip over the next week or so.
