Hey does Oakland feels like a city within a city

[@pittsburgh.neighborhoods1168]

Actually it does in a lot of ways. Great restaurants, a few colleges & museums, diverse people, and lots of things to do without ever needing to leave the neighborhood.

@@pittsburgh.neighborhoods1168 oh ok thank you my friend am looking forward to visiting Oakland when I come to Pittsburgh

[@n.a.mcintosh4697]

the building you open on is called The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial. Inside, at the top of the building is a room called The Russian Tea Room. This was the room in "Silence of the Lambs" where Hannibal escaped his cell when served dinner... hard to believe when in there b/c the colors are so bright yet the scene was so gloomy

Pittsburgh has actually had lots of major films made here. It is a great city.

@@pittsburgh.neighborhoods1168 It most certainly IS a great city. It is my favorite city in the USA and, in my opinion, the most underrated. Before moving to Pittsburgh, I had the impression that since it was known as the "steel" city it would look something like Cleveland, Ohio, for example (industrial, with a lot of factories). So, when I got to Pittsburgh and walked along Forbes Avenue and saw the Cathedral of Learning and the Carnegie complex across the street I thought for a minute that I was in Vienna, Prague, or Budapest!!
