#4, #5, & #14 out of 43 things to do in Pgh = Mt. Washington
by 15211Advocate ~ May 5th, 2008. Filed under: Development, The View.
I was searching for something to talk about and came across this ranking from one of my favorite travel sites, TripAdvisor.com.
#4 Is the Mon Incline, #5 is the Duquesne Incline, and #14 is the whole Mount itself, above ALL the other Pittsburgh neighborhoods including Shady Side, South Side, and The Strip! This is a well respected site and we should be proud that it thinks this highly of our wonderful neighborhood.
Here is what they summarize about the 15211:
Located directly south of downtown Pittsburgh, this lively neighborhood boasts an active business district in addition to scenic parks and recreational activities.
I think it would be nice to see some new reviews, mainly about #14, Mt. Washington, on the site help promote the area since the last review was in 2006 and a lot has changed in just a couple of years. So if you have a minute write a review.

This says alot about our community if an outsider comes here and sees something that us natives cannot. We tend to focus on minute issues under a microscope but sometimes fail to remember that we already do have something special here. I think the frustration for most of us is that we know it can be so much more.

This is good stuff.
These are the days that I hope City Council members and other powers-that-be check the site because what this ultimately means is that Mt. Washington is a REGIONAL asset. The city and state should be providing funds for infrastructure creation and maintenance on an ongoing basis. Mt. Washington community organizaions and private individuals should not be expected to bear the financial brunt of upkeep for a neighborhood that draws more tourists to the city than anywhere else.
