Apologies to those not from Pittsburgh as you most likely know the North Side as the North Shore as it was renamed to bring attention to the changes, additions, and updates along the river's edge.

There's a small garden surrounding the monument.

It was dedicated on August 25, 1996. It's a sprawling monument with several focus points including flagpoles, inscribed panels, a statue of a uniformed police officer and his dog with the words "Ever Watchful", a "Last Call" police box, and assorted plaques and medallions. There's an inscribed poem that ends with these words: "Somebody killed a policeman today... Maybe in your town or mine. While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors A cop put his life on the line. Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark, lonely street And he stands at each rookie's side. He answered the call...of himself gave his all. And a part of America died."

As others have said in their reviews, this isn't a memorial you just glance at or even walk on by. It provides pivotal information and heartfelt reflection on yet another war that took so many lives. There are inscriptions on all sides and all worth reading. When I am back in my hometown, I like to take strolls along the Riverfront Park and always make a point to stop here and read, no matter how many times I've done it before. If you're a history buff, this one's for you.

"Come, you masters of war, You that build the big guns…read moreYou that build the death planes You that build all the bombs" (Bob Dylan) This enormous memorial covers so much ground. It has flag poles, soaring panels, sculpted bases, murals, photo collages, and twenty-four black stone panels etched with white lettering that collectively tell the story of World War II and Pittsburgh's role in the war effort. The Pearl Harbor Panel reads in part: "In less than 90 minutes the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor took a terrible toll: 18 ships lost; 2,386 Americans killed; 1,139 wounded. That count would come later. Just days after the event, an American seaman had his own view: "Well, we arrived at Pearl Harbor this morning and we were all prepared to see a sad sight...but we were still appalled at the amount of damage done. It was the greatest disaster that had befallen any navy. All of this was mighty heartbreaking, and I saw many a tear...But the men were not broken in morale...We lost the first round but are not whipped. We are just mad. We do not understand how a nation can do a thing like that. If they thought our morale would break, they are badly mistaken. We want to fight." Frank B. Hass diary entry, December 15, 1941 The Pittsburgh War Effort Panel reads in part: "Winning the War required contributions from everyone. Families "did without" as producers of home front necessities retooled to turn out munitions and military equipment. Bombers were built in former canneries; pickle plants were converted to assemble pursuit planes; and factories once devoted to the production of baby carriages now manufactured components of guns. The American Bantam Car Company in nearby Butler developed a prototype of the Jeep in 1940 and manufactured 2,675 of the vehicles during the War. "I, along with 10,000 other people, attended a launching today...(of) an ocean-going ship...built here at Pittsburgh...The most interesting thing...is that this sea-going vessel, launched out here on the Ohio River, came off an assembly line!"- Lowell Thomas, newscaster, March 5, 1942 "I wish...that the names of all the men who were doing this great production job in Pittsburgh could be written into the war history. Every time I approach Pittsburgh, especially by plane, I get a sense of tremendous power, a sense of accomplishment. Pittsburgh thrills you." - Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy I loved how this memorial embraced the sacrifice of the entire country- military, civilians, industry, local involvement, and three panels dedicated to America's women and the various roles they played in the war as nurses, factory workers, and in military service. The Allegheny River and Riverwalk provide a beautiful setting for this majestic memorial.

It's a beautiful and serene space in the heart of a hectic courthouse building and street. I find this to be something of interest to any human being, whether a local or tourist. It's a wonderfully constructed tribute to the history of our country that wasn't always good. Add this one to your list!

It is easy to get on and off and the traffic management seems to work well as I've never been stuck or stopped on this bridge in traffic. It is also a beautiful bridge to walk or bike over. Plenty of room for pedestrians and you can't beat the view! I've taken a double stroller over it, walked it, run it and biked it and it was a pleasant experience every time. Prior to the construction of apartments and condos next to Station Square, this bridge had a lot of traffic from downtown commuters who would park across the river and walk downtown. Now I think parking is more expensive on the Station Square side, so much of the traffic is from those using the trail or just looking for views rather than cheap parking. A great bridge to drive over, walk over or just take pictures of from afar.
