I will more than likely be coming to Pittsburgh in early June for a funeral. Because those things are never fun, there will more than likely be a moment where I want to get away, so is there anyone in the area that’d like to meet up?

We can grab food, go on drives, do photoshoots, I can roast your car, it’d be a great time.

Sorry to hear that someone close to you isn’t well. That said, they gave my dad 6 months to live in 1994. He lived until 2005.

Here’s hoping for the best.

The complicated bit is that she’s already passed away and we’ve been waiting on the best time to bury the ashes. Sorry to hear about your dad though, I’m glad to see that he still had some time left in him.

Ah, sorry, I presumed incorrectly and was wishfully thinking. :(

I assumed the same thing.

Just avoid the potholes.

I grew up in Pittsburgh and am usually back for a little bit every summer. Give me a shout when it’s closer and I’ll see if it is the same time I’ll be there. Others may disagree with me, but there isn’t much good twisty driving close to the city so you may want to carve out some time if possible to head east up in the Laurel Highlands. But there are some pretty scenic cruises along the rivers - I spent a lot of time in my teens killing multiple hours in the summers just driving with the windows down back and forth across bridges from the south the north and back again.

This is becoming more common. My dad died a few weeks ago and I’ll be going back to Pittsburgh at the end of March for the funeral (though I think my mom is just going to keep the ashes at home.) My in-laws did a similar thing each time one of my wife’s grandparents passed away over the last few years - several months before a service to get the scattered family back in one place for a service and burial of the ashes.

I don’t really know how long we’re going to be there, it depends on the family, which is why I was hoping to meet with someone from the area who really might know some good places to go. I’m sure I’ll post on here again as time gets closer.

Sounds good. There are definitely some good places to go in all parts of town if you don’t have much time. Even if I’m not there I might be able to give some ideas. If it slips until July you’ll be able to catch the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Keep us posted.

If it were early July for your visit you would be able to check out the vintage grand prix, which is a lot of fun.

I’m also from Pittsburgh and I’ll be in and out of Pittsburgh continuously over the summer. I’d recommend at least going to a Pirates game, and checking out the indoor gokart track in Monroeville.
