My personal experience at the Pittsburgh Auto Show

This past weekend I had the pleasure of representing our dealership at the Pittsburgh International Auto Show. Friday evening I went our Marketing Consultant in Wexford, PA and we car pooled to the Lawrence Convention Center. Walking into the Auto Show was an experience like none other, from the smell of local vendor foods to seeing cars with price tags over $200,000.00. I worked a few hours gathering content, before I realized it was already almost 9:00PM. Meredith wanted to make sure that I got the true Pittsburgh experience and insisted that I go with her to Tessaro's in Bloomfield. I must say, I was far from disappointed. Whoever came up with the idea to couple breakfast food with an amazing cheeseburger deserves an award.

After making the drive home, it was time to get charged up for the next day. Saturday, in addition to being overwhelmed by Pittsburgh residents who wanted to do the Sweeney Whisper, I also interview General Motors reps about both current and future models that will be coming out. I was also met in Pittsburgh by Sarah, my girlfriend, so we could spend a day away from home. The trip to Pittsburgh was absolutely fantastic and I can't wait for next week's Cleveland Auto Show. Hopefully Cleveland can top Pittsburgh because I love the way that the Pittsburgh Edition of "The Sweeney Whisper" turned out! I'll leave you guys with some pictures of my trip to Pittsburgh!

One of my favorite things about Pittsburgh is the beautiful cityscape. What is there not to love about this?  


 I always make it a point to visit Primanti Brothers every time I visit the city!

One of our loyal customers actually came and found me while I was busy bringing you all the best auto show coverage I could. Here's a photo of he and I posed in the hallway of the Lawrence Convention Center.
