    To my soccer-loving brother, might I suggest ...

    http://www.riverhounds.com ... Pittsburgh's USL-2 side
    http://www.piperspub.com ... for your EPL and SPL viewing pleasure

    Riverhounds. Dozens of people might even show up.

    You're headed WEST to Pittsburgh? Where are you starting, Altoona?

    You're going to do PNC. Take the incline up to Mount Washington; great views of the confluence and the city.

    Someone once mentioned to me that there was an Andy Warhol museum. I don't know where it is or if it's worth a visit; others will chime in on this possibility.

    At one time, I think Fort Pitt was the westernmost settlement.

    Ha. So true, but PNC Park is a tad nicer than Chartiers Valley Stadium...or whichever high school field the Riverhounds are playing on that week.

    Edit: The Warhol Museum is a few blocks away from PNC Park.

    Don't forget the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum.

    I assume, but I don't know what place would be good. I have no reservations at this point.

    Sounds good! I could see that being up our alley.

    Ziiiiing!

    We are going there over Memorial Day weekend.

    Well, the Scottish Cup Final is playing the day I arrive...

    I looked on BlueNoseBars.com for an SPL viewing location, but was S.O.L.
