West Carson St, South Shore

Per a suggestion by the doorman at our hotel, we decided to visit Station Square located on West Station Square Drive in downtown Pittsburgh. We took the T (their light rail) for something different to do, as my wife had never been on a subway before. That was a bit much, as the T was very run down and some of the people hanging around the terminal were a bit scary. Once we got to Station Square, however, we were immediately impressed with the street vibe leading into the shopping/entertainment/eating center. West Station Square Drive is very historic and, being on the river, very pretty. Some of the buildings lining the street date back to the 1800s! As a history buff, this interested me more than the shops now inside all of these old buildings. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes history. That part is great. The shopping left a lot to be desired.
