I've only been to Pittsburgh twice in my life, once in August 1986 for the wedding of my wife's cousin Brad Bassi and not again until October 2015 for the Celebration of Life luncheon for my wife's mother Esther Majoros Criswell who passed away on July 19, 2015 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Esther was like a great mother to me and I adored her. She was one of eleven children who grew up on a farm in Bentleyville, to the east of Pittsburgh. The farm was partially split by the construction of I-70 in the 1950's/1960's and it is still owned by family members.

Hopefully I will be able to add more photos from my 1986 visit in the future and it will be interesting to see the changes in the downtown cityscape.
