Where will you be visiting in town? Monroeville is fine, it is where we will be hosting MACNA.

What hotels are you looking at?

EMBRYOGUY · 06/01/2007, 07:57 PM

what about forrest hills?

BeanAnimal · 06/01/2007, 08:02 PM

For the most part forrests hills is a nice area. Like many places in this area, the good and the bad are sometimes right next to each other.

EMBRYOGUY · 06/01/2007, 08:09 PM

ok thank you very much. im looking at the double tree hotel.

Why not stay at the Comfort Inn in Penn Hills.Sets up on a hill so not traffic noise, 2 minutes from monroeville and 10-15 from forest hill depending on what part, also 400 yrds from parkway. Theres a giant eagles along with many places to eat and a few bars very close.

Yes it will be fine.

Elmers Aquariums is a few blocks away. There are a few bars close by. John Harverds brew house ( micro brewery). TGIF and places like that.

EMBRYOGUY · 06/03/2007, 08:54 PM

bean THANK YOU very much! micro brews are always a plus

BeanAnimal · 06/03/2007, 08:59 PM

Not a problem at all, enjoy you visit. Check back here if you need anything. There are a few other stores in the local area, but most are 1/2 hour or more away. Elmers is a decent store. the pmas website ( pmas.org) has a listing of local stores and addresses that sponsor our club.

EMBRYOGUY · 06/03/2007, 09:01 PM

im going there for macna, so it wont be until sept but i like to do research in advance. ill save this thread for the info. thank you again. ill make sure to checkout your club site.

BeanAnimal · 06/03/2007, 09:05 PM

We had arranged for some pretty decent rates at the Raddison (where the event is being held). Though, you will be fine at the holiday inn, it is only 2 miles up the road.

EMBRYOGUY · 06/05/2007, 05:18 PM

yes i was initially going to go with the raddison but i get reward points with the holiday inn.

thanks again.
