Sometimes, we just like to take a walk to Downtown Pittsburgh. It's not quite as bustling as other downtown areas, mainly because it's not so residential yet. There are plenty of businesses there, but after 6 pm, most of it (apart from the cultural district) has packed up for the day. If you're willing to put on your walking shoes, though, there are rich rewards. Downtown is home to some stunning architecture, some great restaurants, and some beautiful views. Here are some of my recent photos there:

Some of these are from a local art project wherein artists take over empty storefronts and turn them into exhibits. This one, Fraley's Robot Repair (UPDATE! There's a
website, where you can look at better pictures and even buy t-shirts!), is an absolute favorite of mine and my husband's. The artist changes things around every few days, too, so you're never looking at the same scene twice.

| One of the great things about Pittsburgh is the juxtaposition of the old, beautiful architecture with the more modern skyscrapers. |

The gorgeous old clock at Macy's never fails to captivate me:
