Geocache Description:

This cache and its sequel - My Favorite City #2 - highlight some of the unique things about Pittsburgh in the types of unique places that make it my favorite city. Be prepared to walk up a big hill! This cache is set up for walking and would be easier and more enjoyable walking but also can be done driving.

M is the number of letters in MMM.

Since I don't live in the area, Penny's Pack has kindly adopted both of these caches. Thanks, Penny's Pack!
