    I've seen daybreak over Philadelphia. I'm all for the ride, but surely you can find a better view than that...

    You want a gorgeous view of a city? Exit the Fort Pitt Tunnel on I-376 (formerly I-279) eastbound just after dark as you're coming across the Fort Pitt Bridge.

    Even better: Westbound I-80 just after you've left the Yerba Buena Island tunnel.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Here's a reminder. Not the exact view you get from a car, but as close as I could find online:



    I've seen it hundreds of times and still haven't gotten tired of it.

    It's more about the experience than the location.
