For Pittsburgh Area Residents

[Cody J]

I just received an email concerning the Greensburg Train Show coming to the Monroeville Convention Center on february 13 & 14. The email said that the address of the new center was 135 Mall Boulevard, Monroeville, PA and it gave a link to a webiste giving directions to the center. I went to the site and it said 209 Mall Boulevard. Does anyone know which is the correct address? I went to the train show a couple years ago and was very impressed but they have a new convention center. Any help is appreiated.

Thanks,
cody

i was at the november show, and it is right next door to the old location. it is also right next to the giant eagle, and has its own entrance off business 22 just past the ramp to monroeville mall.

thanks

[Cody J]

do you know the address of the new convention center?

[jward]

no, not off hand. but it isn't hard to find. they have a sign out on 22.

[Cody J]

Okay, thanks

but it isn't hard to find

[jokingly] I don't know if I'd believe that if I were you (trainsrock), I've been lost in Pittsburgh far too many times to know better than something in Pittsburgh being easy to find (or at least get to). You know all those one way streets in Pittsburgh always end up doing me in, but they sure do have some great pizza parlors, that makes up for me getting lost all the time. I have some many stories about getting lost in Pittsburgh its not even funny, but in the end it's a good time despite getting lost at least once every time I'm there.
The moral of the story is nothing can ever be easy to get to if its by Pittsburgh or so it seems. It goes along with the trite saying "Nothing in life can ever be easy"(ain't it the truth).

Thanks. I have found the address on Google Maps (227 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, PA) and as long as we can find 22 off of I-79 we'll be fine.

Thanks though,

You can't miss 22, it's easy to find, and there's plenty of signs. I was just on 79 and 22 last week.

from 79 north, take exit 59 to 376 east. follow about 10-15 miles to business 22 exit. not sure the exit number since they extended 376 and renumbered all the exits, but it's the next exit after pa 130. follow bus 22 east about 2 miles to monroeville mall, the turnoff is on your right just after you go under the overpass leading to the mall.

Just as a side note on bus 22, it's crazy they have a taco bell, pizza hut, Mcdonald's like every 5 miles, I think I drove by 5 taco bells on bus 22. I guess Pennsylvanians enjoy their fast-food.

Just as an aside, approaching the mall from the west on Bus. 22, you go down a long hill, cross a bridge, then come up towards the mall entrance.  On the left side below the bridge is the Union RR's engine facilities.  You can't see the facility going eastbound, but it is readily visible going west.
