Greensburg, PA: Snowsburg
 
While most people were staying inside staying warm, I went out on the treacherous roads and sub-freezing temperatures to get some snow shots. Oh yeah, there was also a blizzard warning issued. Enjoy!

The courthouse is almost whited out from Academy Hill.

Great shots. Excuse my ignorance but doesn't it snow much here. Looks like a typical winter in Thunder Bay to me unfortunately for me LOL.

Greensburg has some great buildings and lots of snow.

Ex-Ithacan Feb 11, 2010 4:24 AM

Heck of a tour. Greensburg has quite a nice downtown, including some decent sized buildings. The Westmoreland County Courthouse is a gem. The snow adds a nice touch (I've never been there in the winter). Thanks for braving the elements to get the pics.

Evergrey Feb 11, 2010 2:30 PM

wow... i figured you'd have about 15 photos or so... but you treated us to hundreds! Awesome job navigating this epic snowstorm in order to treat us to these wonderful images of a fantastic small urban node.

There appears to be a lot of exciting dining options in Greensburg.

Muji Feb 11, 2010 4:31 PM

It looks you guys have greatly surpassed Philly in the red brick department. Great tour!

xzmattzx Feb 11, 2010 5:29 PM

Interesting pictures. Greensburg looks like it's a pretty nice small city.

Thundertubs Feb 13, 2010 4:21 AM

The Westmoreland County courthouse is indeed a gem. Great set here. My grandfather was a Greensburger.

Wheelingman04 Feb 16, 2010 4:33 AM

Hell the courthouse would make a good state capitol for several states.

boden Feb 17, 2010 2:13 AM

You took some fantastic photos. Greensburg is very impressive in all departments. :tup:

dugdogmaster Feb 17, 2010 6:38 AM

Great photographs:cheers:

Austinlee Feb 17, 2010 3:44 PM

Awesome. Thanks for braving the snow to bring us these.

Greensburg is by far my favorite satellite city in the Pittsburgh metro. So much character.

I've gone to the Red Star. Very nice place.

Also I tried to go see Social Distortion when they played here but it was sold out way in advance:

Best Greensburg photo tour ever!
