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. :-*

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. < |:(~

Pop through a tunnel on an otherwise mundane interstate highway and bang! it all hits you in the face.

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.

If we ever got rid of all of the voter fraud it would be closer still. There are a lot of blue collar Dems that have had more than their fill of this current crop of Limousine Libs.

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.
