The Steel City
Ride the incline, kiss the rivers, zip the cardigan.
Pittsburgh earns its skyline: ride the 1877 Duquesne Incline up Mt. Washington for the three-rivers view, then work the flats — the fountain at the Point, fries ON the sandwich in the Strip, Warhol's silver clouds, a walk across the Clemente Bridge, a 42-story Gothic tower full of classrooms, the most colorful courtyard in America, and a cardigan moment with Mister Rogers by the water. Won't you be my neighbor.
The stops
Ride the 1877 wooden car up Mt. Washington. Three-rivers panorama from the overlook — all three rivers named correctly on video, no phone-peeking.
Where the Allegheny and Monongahela make the Ohio. Team photo at the fountain, one arm pointing down each river.
Walk the yellow bridge to the North Shore. Photo mid-span; +5 at the Clemente statue with his stance.
Fred by the river, mid-cardigan. Every teammate zips an imaginary cardigan in unison on video. It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood — act like it.
Hometown boy made strange. Soup-can face photo at the entrance; +5 from inside the silver-clouds room.
Fries and slaw go ON the sandwich — that's the whole point. Mid-bite photo at the Strip District original, no forks in frame.
A 42-story Gothic skyscraper full of classrooms. Photo in the Commons Room cathedral hush + find one Nationality Room door and photo its plaque.
The most colorful courtyard in America, one man's doing. Match your pose to the loudest wall — maximum joy or zero points.
