PITTSBURGH: An Explorer's Guide


N O R T H   S H O R E

Connected to downtown by three identical suspension bridges (known locally as the Three Sisters), the North Shore used to be known mostly for warehouses and flophouses. But now this narrow strip of land between the Allegheny and the railroad is booming, with new cultural institutions like the Andy Warhol Museum, gleaming new office buildings, and new riverfront housing.
