Pittsburgh is going well. Already, I’ve found so many things that I’m happy about–many of which I never found in Phoenix and/or Denver:
- A great radio station that I love (WYEP)
- An awesome coffee roaster who roasts a great selection of quality, fair trade, organic coffees from around the world (Zeke’s)
- A great network of running and mountainbiking trails (I’m minutes from both Frick and Schenley Parks)
- a really solid local brewery (Yards)
- an arts movie theater
- A nice chinchilla park where I can take Kanye for exercise and to meet other chinchillas*
What’s more, there’s a ton here that I’m eager to see and explore. There’s a dozen museums which are all high quality to be explored, and hundreds of restaurants and cafes
Things I’m still looking for:
- a good grocery store (Giant Eagle is awful)
- climbing / adventure buddies
- A go-to coffee shop
- A (really good) bagel bakery
I’m stoked on my living situation, and excited for my program. (I’ll be mostly taking un-exciting core courses this fall, but that’ll leave a lot of flexibility for the spring.)
* – okay, not really. Still working on figuring out how to keep Kanye active and fit
