larger (here mostly meaning longer)/nicer/more connected parks along the rivers

I lived in Busan, SK for a year which actually has pretty similar geography to Pittsburgh (except it's coastal, not inland) and their parks were just incredible. We have a lot of decent parks in Pittsburgh, but it kills me that the parks along the water are so short and disconnected by comparison. Not only are they disconnected from each other, but the riverfront parks are a little isolated themselves from the city, or there isn't a whole lot of development around them. In Busan the parks were expansive with thoughtful landscaping, many flowering trees, and often sites of events that encouraged sightseeing and walking along the river in warmer months.

Where “east of Pgh”? East means nothing. I don’t live in McKeesport. I have friends that do, send there kids to private school. Never got shot, stabbed, car stolen, house robbed, harassed. Where do you live?

commenting to support the pedestrian amenities. there’s a lot of hostile architecture in pittsburgh and a lot of unsafe / un-walkable areas. so much is centered around cars. some areas in pgh have improved this and others are just so behind.

Yeah, you know, I trust Wikipedia 100%… especially for unsourced unverifiable cultural data. But I’m sticking with the meaning I’ve always heard, which is that the wearer unaligned people, either intentionally or accidentally.

Thank you, that’s good to know. I usually just avoid the entire area until it’s time to enter the stadium. It’s hard being a fan of sports and a hater of crowds at the same time!

Target East liberty seems to usually be stocked. I'm truly impressed on how good it taste regardless of no sugar & low calories. ( Most non sugar drinks have that awful chemically after taste) It's my new go to sports drink
