Anyone else love Wikimapia?
How many times have you been at Google maps, saw an intriging building or feature and wish you knew what it was easily?... I always was, and Wikimapia allows you to discover their identity and add places not yet cataloged.
Wikimapia Pittsburgh area
Zoom in to find more points of interest, search, highlight boroughs, townships, counties, etc... I have added a few places around the Burgh, and hope you natives can add far more. Amazing as you zoom in around the world what you will find. Sorry if this is old news, but I find this site amazing and extremely helpful.
Enjoy! |

Really interesting! I lived in Beechview for a while, and thanks to this, I now know that a primarily Italian neighborhood is now influxed with Mexicans! Strange but (according to Wiki) true!

Just a follow-up... Anyone care to share additions you may have made to the map?
Thanks
