Updated East End

By nate1245,

The city of East End has been the most dynamic city in the region. What used to be farmland is now the product of suburban sprawl. I-76 cuts along the southern edge of the city. The newly renamed I-376 and remodled tunnel that cuts underneath the huge plateua of the Capilano Mountainside heads towards the northeast suburbs. The city has added a new Hospital. The Capilano Center for Cancer & health. Also talks about potential highway improvements are being studied for the I-76 corridor as traffic continues...

Well as my first update in almost 2 YEARS I decided to start back where it all began. Downtown Pittsburgh. Once a sleepy little farm town, is now the tip of the converging rivers of the Capilano mountain range. Once a Industrial zone, is now a center for finance, health, and education. High Technology is struggling to hold on to what expansion it once had on the city. Once a intersection a small intersection among small single family homes and farmland is now the intersection of I-76 and the beginning of...

Northeast Hills

By nate1245,

The second reason is the city has the most unique highway interchange in the entire metro area. The third reason is the city has the second biggest bridge crossing, where I-76 crosses the shallow north ridge river. The fourth reason is the city is the leading area for new development. Before anything really gets decided the city gets...

Fosterville

By nate1245,

Fosterville is located 45 miles downstream from Pittsburgh.With a population of just 3,500, it doesn't play a big role in the region with people, but the city is making up for it by producing so much more commercial. The city is home to Capilano Race Center, and soon to be home to the Verizon Wireless Communications Center (location tba). The city is also a big movie making area in the region. Due to its beautiful mountains, and small town feel, with big city shopping, and culture the city is a prime...

South Pittsburgh

South Pittsburgh is a mid sized city along I-76, 8 miles south and east of Pittsburgh. Originally a small farm town, the city quickly began changing as I-76 was extendend to Highway 25. The city currently has 23,000 people and is quickly growing. I-76 crosses the Capilano river on a trussel bridge, built in 1977.

Foster Hills

By nate1245,

Foster Hills an up and coming suburb. Currently the small city is in the middle of a huge discussion on whether it should be a suburb of Pittsburgh or Fosterville. THough it is closer to Fostervill, Fosterville is not large enough to hold a suburb. The city of Foster Hills is connected to the region by Highway 76 which turns into I-76. more city pics will be coming soon! Thanks for looking. please rate and comment on what you think of Pittsburgh so far...feedback is always appreciated!!

Creekwood

By nate1245,

Creekwood is the furthest suburb from downtown Pittsburgh. It was first settled in 190 as a small stop on the way to fosterville. It quickly grew when new developments bagn coming into effect in South Grove for a new shopping center. Creekwood is a small town but with big city shopping. It's one of the richest suburbs to live in Pittsburgh. Thanks for taking your time to look. Please comments, criticism, suggestions. Please rate my journal. thanks
