Ajay Shekhawat: Pictures from May 4, 2003 (2 pictures)



Pittsburgh, PA from Mt. Washington. The red trolley in the foreground is the Duquesne Incline. The city of Pittsburgh and Buffalo share a lot in terms of the past; unlike Buffalo, Pittsburgh managed to shed its blue-collar bonds (steel mills, manufacturing) and reinvent itself quite a bit (note the red Freemarkets skyscraper). My guess: it's the 2 universities, U Pitt and CMU. They've spun off a whole slew of companies (Lycos, Fore Systems, Freemarkets, Transarc, to name a few). Buffalo, on the other hand, has yet to have a single high-tech spin-off with more than 100 employees. sigh. Heck, we missed out even on the 'dot.com' boom (when anyone with the silliest idea could get VC funding).
