The winning tales of Pittsburgh

A few short weeks ago, we announced a fun contest: Share your best story on why someone should visit Pittsburgh (in 100 words or less, of course) for a chance to win a cool prize. Guess what? These readers shared a story and won:

• Ariel Veltre (grand prize winner).

• Shannon Falk.

• Sabrina Helvie.

• Monica Cooney.

• Suzy Silliman.

Thanks to all contestants and our sponsors who provided prizes: VisitPittsburgh, Caliente Pizza & Draft House, Arcade Comedy Theater, Kennywood, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, The Waterfront (Burgatory), and River City Brass.

Thanks for playing, and check out Ariel’s winning entry elsewhere in this issue.
