I’ve been through Pittsburgh several times on a train, delivered vehicles there, and spent a day or two there. One of the most beautiful skylines in the USA.

I’ll stipulate that some of my pre-revolutionary W. Pa. ancestors participated in the Whisky Rebellion.

YMMV.

Paris of Appalachia? Then my place is the Riviera of the Sierra.

Where are you going to find conservatives, these days, who want to govern big urban areas ?

You’d have to fight every-ism and-phobia in the book, and bureaucratic nerds, when you could be making money without the hassle.

Big cities are destined to die a horrible death.

Go rural. The more remote the locale, the better.

He left out the third major hate crime, probably because it was committed by a black man killing and injuring whites. https://murderpedia.org/male.T/t/taylor-ronald.htm Both this case and the Baumhammer case were outside the city limits, but that is RedState for you.

What Pontiac and his Indians could not do to Ft Pitt and Ft Detroit in 1764 has been done by today’s DEMOCRATS.

Pittsburgh calls itself the Paris of the Appalachians?

That simultaneously is baffling and explains a lot of things.

Only a fool would voluntarily live, locate a business or invest in these Democrat cesspools.Conservatives are not mentally unstable fools. Real estate values don’t lie. Decent people are avoiding and leaving urban areas.

You’re right, allendale.

Rapid advances in technology are proving that a person doesn’t have to live in a congested, crime-infested urban area anymore.

Fresh air, and open spaces. That’s the new paradigm.

Someday they will realize that disparity is highly influenced by genetics. It's the same reason Negroes are disproportionately represented in the NBA, and why Ashkenazi Jews are disproportionately represented in Math and Physics.

Whenever us teenage punks in east Ohio saw a busty looking woman, we’d exclaim,

“Wow! Two pickets to Tittsburgh!!”

Three Priests and the Clerk

There were three priests in a railroad station, all wanting to go home to Pittsburgh. Behind the ticket counter was a very, very shapely lass, well endowed, gorgeous, amazing woman. The priests were all in embarrassing new territory, so they drew straws to determine who would get the tickets.

The first priest approached the window. “Young lady,” he began, “I would like three pickets to titsburg.” Whereupon he completely lost his composure and fled.

The second priest approached. “Young lady, I would like three tickets to Pittsburgh,” he began, “and I would like the change in nipples and dimes.” So, of course, he also fled.

Then came the third. “Young lady, I would like three tickets to Pittsburgh, and I would like the change in nickels and dimes. And I must say,” he continued, “if you insist on dressing like that when you get to the pearly gates, St. Finger’s going to shake his peter at you.”

I left Pittsburgh five years ago after living there my entire life. I don’t miss it.

Every time I visit, I find something else to dislike.
