Pittsburg, PA – The AMICA (Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors' Association) 2012 Convention heads to Pittsburgh. The 2012 AMICA convention hotel, the Sheraton Station Square, is situated at the premier location in the city: on the Monongahela Riverfront in downtown Pittsburgh overlooking Fort Duquesne and the Golden Triangle, where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River.

The hotel is part of the Station Square shopping complex, which comprises 52 acres of indoor and outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment. Being among Pittsburgh’s largest tourist destinations, it attracts more than three million people annually. Station Square incorporates the former “grand” station of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad, with some of the original structures such as the freight house building and the elegant concourse being converted into restaurants and a shopping mall. (If you ever saw the movie “Flash Dance,” a portion was filmed at the Grand Concourse Restaurant). Station Square boasts a stop on Pittsburgh’s Light Rail System (“PAT”), as well as the docks for the Gateway Clipper River Fleet and “Just Ducky” DKW (WW2 amphibious boat) tours.

The convention is open to members of AMICA, as well as members of MBSI, COAA and PPG.
