Live, Love Pittsburgh. Experience the Warhol

All eyes will be on one of my favorite cities this week. The G-20 Summit meets in Pittsburgh Sept. 24-25 and the world will get a glimpse at the Burgh voted "Most Livable City." Pittsburgh, clean and green, has long shed its steel mill and rust belt image. I can't count the times I have visited
Pittsburgh, but it has to be in the hundreds, and
everytime
I see something new. On my last trip this past May,
my aunt and I visited the Warhol Museum
in honor of its native son Andy Warhol. It was
wonderful.
The museum, housed in a renovated warehouse on the north side, is one of four Carnegie Museums in the city and the single largest museum in the
country devoted to a single artist.

But what is the very best part of Pittsburgh? It is hard to miss: the point where three rivers--the Allegheny, Monongohela, and the Ohio come together. Make sure to view it from a high vantage point.
