Zach,

The Wilkins School Community Center is within 200 yards of Pittsburgh.
 There is a 61B stop right in front of it, and its also walkable from
the 69A and 61A (and all three of those go write past CMU).  For a lot
of people (especially anyone who takes 376), it is going to be a lot
more convenient than CMU.  There is a nice variety of restaurants
within a walking distance from it too, which gives us some more
options for people who want to have a meeting after the meeting.  (I
recommend D's Six Packs and Dogs).

But no, its not perfect for everyone.  Unfortunately, we don't have
lots of dues paying members, or sponsorships.  There are less than 5
people who do 95% of the work setting up the meetings.  Right now, we
go with what they say will be the best for WPLUG.

But to answer your question, no, there wasn't anything in Pittsburgh
(proper or suburbs) which was available and as good.  That's not to
say that we're settling on WSCC.  This could be a start in a good
relationship.
