Pittsburgh [antikvár]

TUNNEL VISION Pitcsburgh makes an impresaion on firat-time visitora that ia not eaaily forgotten . nter the city by way of the Fort Pitt Tunnel. Rushing through the glaring white ceramic-tiled walls, the traffic noises bounce about in quadrophonic sound until, quite suddenly, you reach the end and explode into the panoramic vision that is Pittsburgh. Here, tall shimmering glass and chrome skyscrapers glow in the fading sunset. Here the city reaches upward to claim a magnificence all its own — the pointed towers of the PPG castle, the lofty mast rising from Fifth Avenue Place, the amber glow of lights within the tall USX Tower. Below, the waters of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers hug the bank of this downtown urban center, blending together at the Point to form the mighty Ohio. The moving water reflects yellow girded bridges and the graceful lit arcs of the Smithfield Street Bridge.
