I live in Squirrel Hill, which means that getting to the Waterfront can either take 15 minutes or an hour, depending on the random traffic conditions across the bridge. Once in the Waterfront, there is literally nothing unique about the stores that populate the complex. There is every mid-level big box store you can think of, but nothing particularly upscale. The architectural elements of the former steel mill are kind of interesting, but there was no effort to incorporate them into an overall theme.
The worst part is that once you get there, you still have to drive everywhere! If you go to Lowes, it's about a half a mile to the Target, so you have to get in your car and drive again. Terrible atmosphere. While some of the stores might (!) get higher ratings, the overall complex gets an F.
