Nobody Balls like Tom

I visited Tom Monday night in Pittsburgh. It's an incredible view driving in to Pittsburgh. You approach from the northwest through the mountains, so your view is pretty elevated. After rounding a corner, downtown Pittsburgh lights up in front of you, and it's amazing at night. The city is nestled across a river in a valley and you have a bird's eye view of a giant downtown. You descend into the financial district of downtown Pittsburgh and get off the highway onto this street:



Within half a mile is Tom's apartment.



Tom lives on the 11th floor in a historical monument. It was once a subway station but was converted into apartments. This is the view from his apartment. The big white building in the first picture is where the Pirates play. Behind it, in the distance, you can see the bleachers of Heinz Field.




So, Tom is living in a ridiculous place.. complete with concierge, valet, vaulted ceilings, fresh flowers next to the elevators on every floor, incredible views... then you have his bedroom! Completely trashed, with old college books and notebooks, clothes, random furniture, random N64 accessories, and a mix of clean and dirty clothes. I watched him pull a load of whites out of the dryer and add it to the pile!
