[Buckeye McFrog]

For the first time in my adult life, Pittsburgh is not the WORST place to find a job.

I was not born here. Neither were my children. Though I and my parents grew-up here. Pittsburgh has a regular twenty-year down cycle where there simply aren’t any jobs here. But people come back.

All things considered, I'm happy that the area remains nice enough that people actually want to come back. There are a few places I've lived which have been better but there are a lot more I've been which have been far, far worse.

Even the Democrats here are closer to normal than elsewhere in the country . . . and more reasonable in their level of graft and corruption than, say, California or New York.
