| - It's one of those bridges that just feels like home. If you're living outside of Pittsburgh and someone shows you a picture of the Clemente Bridge, you go, 'ahhh, yeah, that's my city.'
Many a good conversation is to be had - or at least, overheard - on the walk over following a Buccos game. Before, during, and after Pirates games, the bridge is shut down to vehicles so pedestrians can have full use of it. On any given night, you'll see performing arts college kids busking for some dollars, the hilarious Pittsburgh sax man making up songs against the opposing team, and people selling funny Pirates shirts for dirt cheap prices.
Of course, there's also my personal favorite water bottle guy at the corner of the bridge - his water bottles are just $1, but they'll cost you $4 if you buy them at PNC Park!
Great views too - bring your camera and you can snap some great shots of the river, the ALCOA clock, and PNC Park from the outside. You can even see the little spot along the Riverwalk that was home of the River Police in Striking Distance!
All in all, definitely one of the Top 10 Bridges of Pittsburgh!
