Had the pleasure of stopping there overnight on our drive up to Detroit so the kids could see grandma's house finally...

I always imagined Pittsburgh to be nothing but grimy, dusty, factories & nothingness... .WOW..was I wrong. It's now on my A list. (A for Architecture & Artsy, Appealing).

I dig the yellow bridges....
I dig the gothicXbrutilist architecture....
I dig the "realness" vibe that it gives off....
I dig that the whole city feels like it was painted onto the side of a cliff and molded from clay onto a valley floor....

Went to the Carnegie Science Center which was epic for the kids...that model train set??? FAM!!!! ... yes... we need more of that in our lives...

Ate at Pork & Beans (https://www.porkandbeanspgh.com/) for dinner and Pamela's (http://www.pamelasdiner.com/) for breakfast ...

Stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Downtown...

Overall I was impressed...

Also we hadn't been back to my wife's home in Detroit in well over 6 years...and for some reason this trip made me seriously question WHY THE HELL NOT????
Detroit has either gotten way better as of late, or we just couldn't appreciate it back then. She moved away for college and never moved back. Every time we'd visit it was in winter so that was no good. We got married there and everything....but for whatever reason, Detroit never stuck with me. I never cozied up to it... Last week though...was pretty dope. The kids loved visiting grandma and seeing the city. Did the Detroit Zoo, Did Belle Isle, Did Eastern Market, wife and I did opening night at the Jazz Fest... VIP access even! got to see Wayne Shorter & Herbie Hancock (Terrace Martin is his sax player, keyboardist, vocoder now btw) live and up close... all in all a dope time in Detroit... Hung out down by Wayne State at the Detroit Historical Society and visited the Detroit67 exhibit (GO SEE THIS IF YOU ARE THERE!)....

Yeah...so that's what's up with FLUIDJ...
y'all bama's ain't even miss me...
