To Do List Around Pittsburgh

I spent a few days catching up on my list of 'things to do'. First was a drive out the Tanger Outlets. In a nutshell- not worth the drive. Here are my thoughts on outlets: If I wouldn't want to buy a particular item at full price, I'm not going to change my mind if you take ten dollars off the price. Many brand name stores selling the inventory that was- left over from last year? Too ugly to put in the malls? I didn't find anything I wanted, except for cologne. There was a perfume/cologne store that is worth visiting. So it wasn't a total loss.

Next place to check off my list was Rivers Casino. It's nice inside. Staff is very friendly as well. I'm not much of a gambler, but I did play the slot machines a bit. My complaint- almost every restaurant is cafeteria style. I was planning on eating dinner there, but didn't want my food on a tray (thank you) and wasn't in the mood for the steak restaurant, which did look very nice. Although, if I would have been in the mood for steak, I would probably have just gone across the bridge to Pittsburgh Rare instead.

Third thing which I made time for this week was a trip down to Schenley Park for a hike through the trails. That was a great afternoon. First make a stop at the Schenley Park Cafe for coffee. I ended the afternoon at Dell's in Bloomfield. That was the best day of the three.

I still need to get to the Warhol to see the Rock and Roll exhibit before it ends. Also a drive through town to see all of the murals by Fairey..... maybe this weekend.

As my friend Somer likes to say: "Peace to your universe".
