----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The Pittsburgh International Airport was just ranked as the third best in the world and first in the United States in a survey of subscribers conducted by Conde Nast Traveler, which bills itself as the world's leading travel magazine. The airport soared to the top of the ranks because it received the highest score in the world in the category of food/shops/amenities. The airport is the home of the popular AIRMALL, a collection of 105 shops and restaurants. The prices are competitive with those offered at shops and restaurants in the city. The airport also features an Alexander Calder mobile, especially commissioned for the building. So, when you make plans to attend the ARLIS annual conference in Pittsburgh during March 2000, plan to spend extra time at the airport! And when you arrive at the airport, watch for the special welcome designed to greet conference attendees!
