Sewickley

Saturday we took a drive up to Sewickley PA which is located about 20 minutes northwest of the city. The name Sewickley is thought to be from the Native American word for "sweet water". The borough has a mixture of old Victorian homes and mansions and has a small business district with many antique and boutique shops. We walked around the streets with shopping and drove around a bit to look at some of the neat old homes. We also stopped at Observatory Hill on the way up. Observatory Hill is located on the north side of pittsburgh and has the Allegheny Observatory atop a hill in Riverview park.
