Authority Transit offers IuR summer sightseeing bus Department 9x0" 9x0- merge, ed The first day of 'bur 'tour was spent in the northwestern plains region around the city of Erie. Erie is Penn- sylvania's only port city and is rich on Heritage with history dating back to 1753 and this can be experienced by visits to the flagship Niagara, Cashier's House and the Erie Historical Museum. One, might also enjoy a visit to the Erie. Playhouse or a visit to the Mazza Winery for a tour which shows the en- tire wine making pro- cess. The next morning we headed south for Pitt- sburg_ stopping along the way in Butler Coun- ty where we had a fabulous buffet breakfast at the Old, Stone House which was originally built in 1822 and is now fully restored. We also visited the Jennings En- vironmental Centre located in Pennsylvania's largest state park - Moraine State Park. The Jenn- ings Centre contains a number of displays of very rare flowers and is a forerunner in a lot of types of wildlife protec- tion. From here it is just a short drive to Pitt- sburg. The "Steel City" is a far cry from its smokey City heritage. It has shaken its old stigma and has come in- to its own and thanks to strict smoke control laws its contemporary skyline soars brightly in- to breathable air. Gone are the rows of endless run down factories crowding the riverbank and gone is the image of an industrial giant. "Renaissance" is the word and this rebirth is apparent not only in the new buildings and parks but in its philosophy as well. It continues to develop as a friendly giant whose educational, cultural and recreational aspects are as important as its industry. Above all, it is a liveable place and ery proud of it.

There are also many self guiding tour routes available at the Convention and Visitors Bureau. I would also recom- mend visits to the Buhl Science Centre, the Pitt- sburg Zoo, Phipps Con- servatory and the famous Carnegie In- stitute. As well the Cathedral, of Learning at the university .of Pitt- sburg, must not be miss- ed. It is a 42 story Gothic Stone Tower. En- circling the first floor are 18 nationality classrooms each design- ed and decorated by ar- tists and architects from its respective nation and it is the only skyscraper - college building in the nation. For dining ex- cellence I would suggest the Lemont Restaurant which is atop Mt. Washington and affords a breathtaking view of the city. It is continental in decor and offers a very good variety of French cuisine and wines. As our tour drew to a close we. left .Pittsburg and headed 1`for the scenic Allegheny moun- tains, in the general area of Uniontown. There are many scenic attractions in this territory in- cluding the "Laurel Caverns" limestone for- mations, "Fallingwater" which is a home design- ed by. Frank Lloyd • Wright and is one of his • most widely acclaimed works. You should also tour through Ohiopyle State Park and witness\ historic Fort Necessity which was built in 1754 by George Washington who was at that time on- ly 21 years old and was the scene of his only military defeat. I have only mentioned a small portion of what is available to Penn- sylvania tourists and please rest assured that there is much more to view.
