Ever since you took me through the tunnel, I’ve had this “thing” for Pittsburgh! What is it about these past six months? I just keep falling in love, over and over again, with everything connected to a guy named “Joe”. With the beautiful “City of Bridges” beckoning, it’s particularly easy. :-*
Well, darling, I intend to! :-*
It's a 'Burgh Thing.ô |

PITTSBURGH: CITY OF CHAMPIONS
and the Pirates
Interesting that it was compared to San Francisco and Lisbon. When I was in SF about 20 years ago, I did remark that it felt like da burgh. I was recently in Lisbon, and I don’t think it feels quite as much like Pittsburgh. The hills around the city of Como were reminiscent of home, including an incline.
I've lived in that area > 25 years now, and it's never, ever felt like da 'Burgh. < |:(~
Ain't that the truth. Beautiful.
Just as we were driving in, the shape of the hills, with the city kind of nestled within. That is all.
That's another thing I like about Pittsburgh. For a decently sized city, the liberals tend not to be the limousine libs who are the most obnoxious and seem to be the most ideologically liberal--instead our dems seem to consist more of the union types, blacks, and old people that get duped by the mainstream media.
