Mr Tiki's been enjoying Pittsburgh so much he doesn't want to leave.
Don't buy it? OK. maybe it's more like life getting in the way.
But seriously, if you haven't hosted him you don't know what it's like. So many things you want to show him, and so little time.

Required Pittsburgh shot from Mount Washington (showing the "Golden Triangle", the head of the Ohio River and a funicular:

Stopped by Mellon Square, a great MCM downtown park to take in the old AlCOA world headquarters on the left and William Penn Hotel on the right (where Bob Hope proposed to Dolores, and where Lawrence Welk first used a bubble machine, a left over from a movie premier):

Then we went farther afield,
Fallingwater:

Homer Laughlin, look at those Fiestaware seconds:

Since we were in WV thought we'd stop by Young's Cafeteria, mmm coconut cream pie:

Couldn't miss Dean's hometown of Stuebenville, OH between them:

and Canonsburg, PA, hometown of Perry Como (and Bobby Vinton, but he doesn't get a singing statue, yes, singing, they pipe Perry Como tunes out of it):

more to come...
