Seriously though, some of my best memories are of Pittsburgh.  I can still remember going to the Children's Symphonies with Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ralph when I was a kid.  Then afterwards we would do some shopping in downtown at Kaufmann's and Horne's.  I remember sitting in the shoe department and Uncle Ralph showing me how to use his camera while Aunt Sandy tried on shoes.  And since then my love of the theater has not diminished.  And I still cherish every opportunity I have to see a show.  I really love going to the Benedum Center or Heinz Hall with Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ralph.  It's still just as magical an experience as when I was a kid.  And living so close to a city like Pittsburgh, I'm able to enjoy that fairly often.
