Exploring Pittsburgh 2014: Lawrenceville and Bloomfield

We visited Lawrenceville and Bloomfield as a group. To get to Lawrenceville, we used our phones to tell us which bus to use, and we found out that we had to use the 54c which stopped right in front of towers on fifth opposite of Thackary. It was very simple except for the part where we all fell asleep and missed our stop and got lost for a while, but we ended up getting off at Butler and 45th street. Once we got there we saw a lot of different and unique features in the two towns. The best part about Lawrenceville was the residential feel to it, where you could take a break from the city. The children's hospital was by far the biggest selling point to Bloomfield. It was very colorful and innovative from what we observed on the exterior. Apart from the hospital, the towns were mostly residential areas but there were some peculiar shops and restaurants around.

On the way back we tried to catch a bus but we looked up and saw Cathy (Cathedral of Learning) and decided to walk back. We mainly took S Millvale to come back to Oakland. On our way back, we passed a bridge and went through Carnegie Mellon's campus. This allowed us to fortify our bond as a group and we also grabbed some Subway and ate it on the long expedition back to campus. There was a surprisingly low amount of people walking around, kind of seemed like a ghost town maybe everyone's at the Steelers' game? GO STEELERSSS !! When we did speak to some of the people we saw they seemed like they ' ve been in the area for a very long time. We also met a bunch of Duquesne Law students who live there. They mentioned how they lived there because it's a perfect distance from campus and they can have city and a peaceful backyard when they want. As a group we had a great time visit these two towns!
