This is what I used to do, fly around Pittsburgh (and other cities) in
helicopters and fixed winged planes to bring sick kids back to our hospital.

A typical Pittsburgh block.

Bridges, bridges, bridges–ever try to get across a bridge in rush hour traffic in an ambulance? Now you know why we always liked flying our patients.

The world famous Cathedral of Learning. I took my only graduate level writing class here–the prof was kind enough to say I had “promise” and offer me the name of his agent. Too bad I wasn’t thinking of getting published way back then!

Don’t you just love the gingerbread on these houses?

A real life trauma code–cropped for the faint of heart.

Pittsburgh at night from Mount Washington. Beautiful, isn’t it?

View of PPG Place.

Typical Pittsburgh rowhouses, slopes and flats.

More bridges…no wonder it’s called the Steel City.
