    Home of the National Hockey League's Pittsburgh Penguins, Mellon Arena opened in 1961, at which time it was called the Civic Arena. The name was changed in 1999 when the Pittsburgh Penguins entered into an agreement to rename the facility after the Pittsburgh-based Mellon Bank.

    In addition to hockey, the 17,000-seat Mellon Arena hosts other sporting events such as boxing matches, figure skating championships, and basketball. Large-scale concerts, ice shows, circuses, and other events are also held in the arena.

    The large dome is designed to open and close in two minutes.

    Golfing at Grandview Golf Club in North Braddock is an experience for the experienced golfer. People refer to it as a challenge and they seem to really enjoy themselves.

    Walk to the Bridal Veil Falls. Here you will follow a nice trail by the Pond Run stream. The stream soon flows into the Little Bushkill where the mountain path leads deep into the forest. Spring-fed waters tumble down the mountain side in a series of three lovely falls, so misty in their appearance they are named for brides of love.

    Good walking shoes
