Bigasshammm Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Planning a trip to Pittsburgh April 5-7. Anything within the city limits worth checking out? I think we're goin to hit the natural history museum. Probably go to penguins game the 5th (anyone have tickets?) and hit Ikea so I can get some detolf display cases. Any shops that are must sees? Especially if they have auto stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bri2k Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I can't think of any hobby shops inside of city limits. There's a Hobbytown in Robinson Town Centre not too far from the Ikea. Here's a list of Pittsburgh area hobby shops from the local IPMS chapter's site. I hope you have a nice trip and manage to score tickets to the game!

Bigasshammm Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Tickets are my wife's responsibility. I bought the trip for valentines day. Then slightly suggested I'd like to go to the Penguins game that weekend as my gift. Hint hint nudge nudge. Does Beaver Falls PA still have the air museum? I remember going there probably 20 years so or so and they had the flying Memphis Belle in the hangar undergoing engine overhaul. Was awesome to see inside a hangar.

Shawn C. Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 You can also apply for asylum from Cleveland while in town. I hope you enjoy the Pens' game if you score tickets!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Got tickets off ebay for the hockey game, expensive but decent-ish seats. Got a reservation for Meat and Potatoes Saturday night. I need to call Ikea and order my cabinets so that I can make sure they are there when we are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RotorheadTX Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I second the vote on AB Charles. They've got a shed-load of car stuff in the basement. Be sure to look for the car decals by the front desk desk too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
