Best place to rest your head and get quality care, should you ever get sick or hurt. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world. Sorry for the sorta gloomy, yet prudent joy to being around UPMC and the excellent health care professionals, researchers and neighbors.

Mark,
Good to know that if I get in a tragic Duquesne Incline accident, the finest surgeons will be ready to stitch me up.

You neglected the fries on and in everything. I had fries in a breakfast burrito and on top of a 3am salad. That’s right, I said salad.

What is the Strip district? Pittsburgh sounds like a cool place to be.
Jonny // Oct 26, 2008 at 4:48 pm
The Strip district is an area near downtown Pittsburgh with lots of old warehouses. There are lots of yummy food stores (much like 9th Ave behind the Port Authority in NYC). Also lots of nightclubs and art stuff in the old warehouses.
