19JAN24 - I just spent eleven days with my good bud and former freshman roommate, Carpenter. He lives in Berlin but has been staying with his sister and BIL who live in Pittsburgh. The graciously allowed me to inhabit the "Garage Majal" while I was there. (photos to follow)
As it happened, I arrived on my birthday and thoughtful Carp baked a cake with 71 candles! (laughing)
This is the "Garage Majal".
The main room viewing from the stairs.
The opposite view.
Gorgeous bathroom with a heated floor! LOVED the shower, too.
The single bedroom where I slept.
Some views of the property and main house.
Ric and I visited the Carnegie Science Center in downtown Pittsburgh. I foolishly didn't get any photos of the exhibits but they had an unbelievable HO train CITY with hundreds or even thousands of hand-carved people, buildings, trees, etc. It was amazing but you can see more and read about the center at the link above.
A few photos of downtown and Pitt has a crap ton of bridges! BTW, all those tents under the overpass are homeless encampments.
