    We would like permission to link your site on our “links” page. [see at http://www.johnsjigs.com/links.aspx].
    We believe it would be great to show everyone how majestic Pittsburgh can be, and hopefully get you some extra business for sure.

    what I am asking for is a copy of your header/logo. If you visit my links, you’ll see why. I do not want to put just a text link in when you have such a presence. I will place it in the top of page!!! Magnificent sir, magnificent.

    I moved to Florida from Pittsburgh one year ago, and will be moving back next year. Your pictures made me miss home so much that I cried! People that aren’t from the city don’t realize how much it sucks you in; and those that move don’t realize how much they’ll miss walks down Carson Street….
    Amazing pictures :)

My brother and I went up to the West End Overlook to photograph the sunset. Instead, storms moved in just east of the city and provided spectacular results.
