Heading home from Pittsburgh
-
We’re on a bus coming home from a 1 day tour of Pittsburgh. The trip was organized by our local YMCA (who knew?) as part of their Active Older Adults (yikes!) program. Wasn’t too sure at first but these are my peeps whether I like it or not and we had a great time! The idea was to make some new friends and I think we did that.
Pittsburgh is a very interesting city with lots to see. The Heinz Museum is one of the best I’ve ever seen, the repurposed train station where we had lunch was spectacular, and we got to ride a funicular!
We’ll be going back in the near future.

Duquesne Incline.
1898 or thereabouts, original cars. Beautiful original woodwork inside the cars. Smooth and quiet.

Didja y’unz get a sammich at Primanti’s?

No, just lunch at the train station.
Our guide on the city tour told us that everyone there used to say y’unz but that switched to y’inz some time in the 80’s.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to our fair city. I hope you come back again.
