Pittsburgh.
« on: January 23, 2016, 11:44:01 AM »
I'm going to be working near Pittsburgh for a couple of weeks in February.  Anyone know it?  I'll have a weekend to burn there.  Looking for something to do other than stay in the hotel drinking beer.
Ever got that feeling that you're trying to teach a dog a card trick?

Well if you have no other choice but to go there...  :LOL:

I am so tempted by the Led Zep thing......

Can anyone advise on getting a pay as you go phone sim?  Just need data for two weeks to facebook and whatsap pictures of my meals and my drunk hotel antics for the peeps back home.  Looked at a few online and it just seems soooo expensive compared to UK and EU prices.

Don't know about the phone.
Check out Straightalk or tracfone (same company actually, different affiliations).

Straightalk offers unlimited data and talk for $45 a month, no contract, but you still have the cost of the phone to figure in.
