The log house is what was once considered a frontier dwelling. It was built somewhere between 1762…read moreand 1790 and it became listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The Allegheny Land Trust purchased the property in 2020 and continue to ensure its preservation. Many of us are familiar with the area but if you aren't it is located near a little town called Rennerdale which is in the same area as Oakdale, McDonald, Bridgeville, etc. It sits in Collier Township. I would say it's worth visiting if you're the area. It's very close to the Pittsburgh Botanical Garden and would make for a fun additional stop. Unfortunately, unless the Land Trust is hosting a tour (they happen now and again), you'll only get to visit the exterior and the land. I think it's worth it if you're going to the Garden. It's quite the feat to have a piece of architecture stand the test of time for centuries as it has. I wonder what the Walker-Ewing family would think of that. I am sure they would be impressed and pleased.

Now owned by the Allegheny Land Trust, this organization is truly to preserve and unify many parcels of natural green space. The fireplaces in this cabin are beautiful and massive. I especially like some of the artifacts, such as the antique spinning wheel, that reveal a different way of life.

One of the world's first tunnels of its kind. Pretty cool. As Pittsburgh grows so does its traffic. These tunnels can be a nightmare to get through with backed up traffic with cars waiting their turn to enter.

The two Liberty Tunnels bring traffic under Mount Washington and join the city of Pittsburgh with…read morethe South Hills neighborhood. When they opened in 1924, they enabled the development of the southern suburbs of the city as it used to be quite the hassle to get over the steep mountainside. The 5,889 foot long tunnels connect with the Liberty Bridge that crosses the Monongahela River and allows direct traffic into downtown Pittsburgh. The tunnels were started in 1919 and completed in 1924 though the ventilation systems were not added until 1928. The tunnels are easy to navigate with two lanes in each direction and a very slight grade. There is no toll to use the tunnel. Note that you do not have to take the bridge but you must be in the right lane to make the turn to the riverisde. ---Updating this because I'm back and the tunnels are still awesome even if Yelp doesn't understand how to publish businesses.--- [Review 20415 overall - 625 in Pennsylvania - 1394 of 2023.]

South Park Township is where I lived for many years. Once known as Snowden Township the name was…read morechanged in 1966 to South Park Township. The township offices, library, and community center are all located with the municipal complex off Brownsville Road as you head towards Piney Fork. It is near the Bavarian shopping village that houses a number of of small shops and businesses. The Post Office is in this vicinity as well. South Park Twp has expanded over the course of many years with modern housing and has become a municipality where most young adults settle to purchase homes and start new lives. One downside is that in some of these outlying areas there is no public transportation. People who live here don't seem to mind and are happy to live in a nice suburb. South Park Twp is home to the fairgrounds that once was host to the yearly Allegheny County Fair. That fair ended decades ago but the fairgrounds are still in use for seasonal events. Horseback riding is offered nearby. There are bike trails, a buffalo park, many playgrounds and even a wave pool here. South Park school district has an elementary center, middle school and a high school. The elementary school and high school are in close proximity to one another while the middle school is located on Stewart Road. They provide a fine education and recently received an honor award as a distinguished high school. Their mascot is the Eagle. South Park Twp encompasses a vast area that extends to the golf courses in the park itself all the way over to a district known as Library. The park itself including the BMX track, groves, and two golf courses are reviewed separately. There is however, an attraction worth noting which is Stone Manse which I have yet to visit is part of the Oliver Miller Homestead. This is a historic site which was part of the Whiskey rebellion. It is open seasonally on Sundays only. I am truly amazed every time I go through this area to see how much it has changed for the better over the years.

People are afraid of the "tunnel monster" and slam on their brakes when entering. And, if there is any sort of incident around it, the traffic backups are crazy. It was build and designed for significantly less traffic than it sees every day. And that is very apparent because even when it isn't rush hour, construction or some major event there is still usually a backup right around the tunnel. That being said, the tunnel is well maintained. It just makes commuting from/to the east a bit of a nightmare.

It's the gateway to and from Parkway East which is a clustered poo show. For real. Don't even think about heading inbound or outbound during peak times. In addition, people seem to forget how to drive and pull all sorts of antics INSIDE the tunnels. Honestly, as someone else mentioned here, if you're not going in the middle of the night, don't go at all.
