pittsburgh: My dad will most likely be having transplant surgery in Pittsburgh and we won't have vehicle so I was just curious what businesses are around the hospital within walking distance. Thank you!|||I'm assuming you're going to be at the one in Oakland? The Oakland section of the city is also home to three universities: Pitt, Carnegie Mellon and Carlow, so there are a lot of eateries and some shopping. You can walk to the shops in Shadyside on Walnut Street and Ellsworth Avenue. Bus service to/from Oakland is plentiful. I'd suggest taking the bus to Squirrel Hill, Downtown or the South Side.
