Pittsburgh skyline from the Fort Pitt Tunnels

Things I miss about southwestern Pennsylvania (in no particular order).

#5 View of the Pittsburgh skyline through the Fort Pitt Tunnels

Humble little Pittsburgh has one of the most spectacular "entrances." This video plays in real time meaning this is how long it take to get through the Fort Pitt Tunnel. Sometimes it takes even longer since drivers tend to liberally apply their brakes while traveling through it.

Before entering the tunnel, you have no hint that you're approaching the city. Notice all of the hills. Once you exit the tunnel, the city and the three rivers surround you. Note the gray, gloomy sky!!!





Here's a shorter clip (on a rare sunny day) that shows more of the river.



This is the Fort Pitt Bridge--the bridge you cross after exiting the Fort Pitt Tunnel.
