  • Aside from the super sassy old lady working the booth at the lower station (and let's face it: her saltiness actually *lent* to the overall experience), husband and I loved our little jaunt up the Duquesne Incline. We arrived early enough on a Sunday morning to avoid the tourist crowds, parked our car in the convenient free lot on W. Carson, and took the pedestrian bridge up to Lower Station. When we discovered the $2.25 fare was exact change and cash only, we found ourselves fumbling through wallets and pockets looking for the right coinage. [Enter Sassafras] Sass: "There's a change machine *right* there." [jabbing with her thumb] Husband: "I only have a ten." Sass: [snorting] "It'll change a *ten.*" Husband: "Yes, but it only gives dollar coins, and I need quarters." [to me]: "I need to run back to the car for quarters." [exits lower station] Sass: "Where is he *going*? There's a change machine *right* there!" Me: "He's getting quarters from the car." Sass: [snorting again] "What's the point of *that*? You could just get change at the gift shop at the top." [to the custodian vacuuming the floor]: "Can you believe people would run back to their *cars*?!" [laughing judgmentally with custodian] Me: [scratching head, wholly confused] "But...the sign says...must pay in advance....?" Sass: "Yeah? And?" Me: "So...how does getting change at the top work?" Sass: [some rambling and convoluted explanation about the gift shop operating on the level of the IMF] Me: [shrugging] When we finally got to board the Duquesne trolly (is that what they're called?), we enjoyed how cute and festive the little cars looked -- cherry red and bright yellow, and looking inside like San Francisco cable cars. The car slowly ascended Mount Washington where we were afforded some beautiful views of downtown, Point State Park, Heinz Field, PNC Park, Brunots Island, and the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers. At the top we perused the little museum and observation deck for more wonderful views of the city, then walked the mile or so along Grandview Avenue to ride the Mon Incline back down Mount Washington. Another quintessentially Pittsburgh experience we were happy we added to our itinerary.
