A Trip Down Memory Lane

These photos were taken on 7-7-07. We had flown to Pittsburgh to attend Kelly Liddle's wedding to David Breier. In the morning before the wedding, we took a trip to Canonsburg to see what changes had taken place. In the afternoon, we went to St. Bernard's Church in Mt Lebonan where the wedding took place. Then to the reception at Le Mont restaurant on Grandview Ave atop Mt. Washington. What a view! And to be there on a beautiful night to get several good photos, commune with old friends (yes, we are a little older now), and watch the lights come up in the city. That's the story. Enjoy the photos. We may have some more photos after tomorrow.

First stop. Our first place in McMurray: Carriage Hill Townhouses. View up the yard in front of our unit. We used to play football in this area.

The "kite flying" hill as it now looks. It was virtually barren when we left in early 1989.

Picnic pavillion at the park. This is on the back side of the hill where there was nothing when we lived there. Nice park, soccer field and playground back there now.

Grove at the top of the hill. Would be tough to fly a kite from there now.

This used to be the McDowell farm besides the Crossroads shopping center where we would sometimes stop to admire the sheep. NICE houses on top of the hill.
