The south side entrance can be accessed on Forbes Avenue just past the intersection with Morewood Avenue.

About Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh combines all of the friendly small-town comforts with all the benefits of a big city. Its history as the Steel City is apparent by the grand architectural style of its buildings and in the neighborhoods, but don't make the mistake of believing that it's the smoky, industrial city from a century ago. Presently, Pittsburgh has developed into a nationally recognized financial and technological center. (In fact, the city boasts of more doctoral scientists and engineers per capita than Boston, L.A., or San Francisco). Pittsburgh provides numerous opportunities to engage in all the sights, sounds and good taste of a river city
International visitors find Pittsburgh a refreshingly authentic experience of an American city, free of pretense and filled with countless ethnic influences. One distinguishing characteristic of Pittsburgh is its sense of community and neighborhoods. The city's 88 neighborhoods showcase a wide variety of cultures, ranging from Italian, Greek, Polish, Indian, to Irish.
