| - I am convinced that Dr. Seuss himself must have planned the insane network of overpasses leading from this tunnel into this lovely city, but I must say that the breathtaking view of the city, particularly at night-time, is a "top 10" sight for my list. (This view is so nice, that we are actively seeking out a great night photo of downtown from Mt. Washington that we can have nicely framed and centered in our living room.)
The tunnel itself is awesome, old-school style, as it's a square tile-lined chute that propels visitors into this great city as they arrive from the airport. No, it's not bare walled concrete BS that most tunnels are styled in; it's the beautiful, "we need to make this tunnel clean, aesthetic, and practical," style. Kindo of like in "the Matrix." Remeber when the Cohen Brothers made that s**t look incredible? Yeah, the Fort Pitt Tunnel is that, only 'Burgh style. I love it!
I can't remember a single person who's come to visit us that wasn't completely "wow-ed" by the awesome introduction to the 'Burgh.
Yeah, so even though I could sneak across the Ohio River on I-79 instead to get home after a long trip, I always opt for this route, just to say "Hi" to this awesome city once again. It's always worth it!
