20031101--Pittsburgh Meet--INDEXED

[jcemom]

I might be able to meet on the 1st. I'm not sure where Ross Park Mall is, but I guess I could find out.

Then again, I ALWAYS get lost in Pittsburgh! Once I get north of West Mifflin, forget it!

The 1st works for me! The 8th is DS's Birthday dinner.

Columbus(OSU campus) to Youngstown will take you 2 1/2 hrs....from Youngstown to Ross Park Mall will be 1 hr 15 minutes so you are looking at 3 hrs 45 minutes at least.

I grew up in West Mifflin near Century III Mall!

Well I wouldn't head up as far north as Youngstown... I'll just take 70 straight to the turnpike... that should only be about 200 miles and depending on how fast my little car can fly just under 3 hours is doable.

But if LK is buying air tickets.....

 

[The LK 4]

Elaine, better plan on flying - in your car !

Oh Yes! A Pittsburgh meet sounds good!

Ross Park Mall is good.

There is a Max and Ermas close to 79 and the turnpike (old exit 3) in Cranberry Twp. (the place where we are currently in a state of emergency due to bad storms.)

BTW, what exactly do you do at a meet???

 

[The LK 4]

firstmickey, I'm thinking we can meet at the Disney Store and then move on to the food court for lunch and good conversation. Feel free to bring pictures of your WDW trips. A meet is just a great way to meet other DISers in your area and get to know them a little bit better.

A Pittsburgh Meet sounds good to me. I am new to the boards and would love to meet some of the people who write on here. November 1st or 8th is good for me. The Ross Park Mall is a great place to meet also.

 

[shamrock bunch]

Brernurse - you probably live real close to The LK 4.

Looks like we have quite a few people who can make it the 1st. Do we want to say around 12:00 or 1:00 for the meet?

 

[KathyFP]

I can't do the 1st will be at WDW. If you have a meet on the 1st, I just ask that you schedule another one for in the future so that I can attend.

 

[The LK 4]

Oh no Kathy! I mean, great that you'll be in WDW, but I can't believe you started this thread about a meet and the date we are all discussing is the one day you won't be available. The good news is we are getting lots of interest, so I'm sure it won't be too hard to organize lots of Pittsburgh meets in the future.

 

[KathyFP]

I agree! I believe that we will many more in the future. You all can share with me the details. I will check the board that night.

 

[helenabear]

Of course we'll have another that you can make it to Kathy!!!

Don't tempt me... this newer car of mine is a speedy little thang

 

[Dan Murphy]

I think Pittsburgh is a bit far. Sure would love to though, what great people here!!!!!

 

[KathyFP]

You can watch the Guardian and think about us

 

[shamrock bunch]

Sorry about the date Kathy. We will definitely have more in the future!

 

[Jiminy102]

I would love a Pittsburgh meet but unfortunately I am out of town both those dates!!! Maybe the ext one I can make it!!!

 

[corky805]

Hello

I would probably be available on the 1st as well...it could be an inpromptu celebration for the release of "Brother Bear" too!!

I don't spend much time on the community board but would love to meet some other Dis'ers and Ross Park is perfect for me!!
