Climb to the Grandview Avenue (Mount Washington) to enjoy a beautiful viewpoint of the city and the confluence. I went here at the day light and by night to take photographes. Unfortunatly, I had no tripod and the pics are blurred but I brought a good video.

Language
English is spoken by the vast majority of Pittsburgh's residents. However, this is a multi-cultural city where it is not uncommon to hear Spanish, Italian, Polish, German and Arabic languages. The Amish community speak Pennsylvania Dutch (a German dialect), but only at home.
Heinz Field
by Ewingjr98
Home of the six time World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers!!! Congratulations Steelers for winning your record sixth Super Bowl, and second in four years!
Heinz Field opened in 2001 after 2 years of construction replacing worn & outdated Three Rivers Stadium. It has seating for 65,000 fans and was constructed at a total cost of $230 million, much of which was privately funded by the team. Local ketchup manufacturer H.J. Heinz Company (of "57 Varieties" fame) paid $57 million for stadium naming rights. Heinz Field is also home to the Pittsburgh Panthers college football team as well as concerts and other events.
Washington, PA
by mikelisaanna
Washington is a small city of about 20,000 people located approximately 20 miles south of Pittsburgh. Like many of the other cities and towns of western Pennsylvania, Washington's economy was driven by the steel industry, which has declined in the past 30 years. As a result, parts of Washington have seen better days, but its historic downtown is intact with a number of interesting older buildings, including its courthouse and two historic home that are open for tours: the Bradford House, which was the home of one of the leaders of the WHiskey Rebellion, and the Lemoyne House, which served as a stop on the Underground Railroad in the 1800s. Washington is aslo the home of Washington and Jefferson College, a small, but well-regarded liberal arts college.
