Adventures in Oakland

Oakland is this little town outside the city that is about a 7 minute shuttle ride away and there are lots of fun things to do there. But before I begin I have to say that Pittsburgh is a COLLEGE city! There is about 10 colleges in like 10 mile radius. I'm really not sure if that's true, but you get the point that there is a lot of colleges. Haha. So anyway.. University of Pitt and Carnegie Mellon is located in Oakland as well as the Pittsburgh Playhouse (where all of Point Park show's are), all of the upperclassman (most of them move out of the dorms after the first year into apartments in Oakland, because it's a lot cheaper than the dorms, which is what I will probably do as soon as I survive this first year of school), lots of clothing stores, restaurants, and more. So some of us decided to take a little trip to Oakland and mosey around! So here's some pictures of our little adventures... :)


We just walked into this gorgeous looking building and decided to take a picture! haha


As we were walking through this park, we saw this carousel and we found out that you could ride it for free! So we took a couple rides on it. It was really fun :)






Sorry the picture is sideways, I don't know how to change it. But this is the Carnegie Library! I think its just lovely!
