Tonight at PIT

[PITbull]

PitBull et al,

It is always nice to hear folks like you rant on and on about how much you hate NYC and its charm. It would be very heartening to New Yorkers if you would then stay the hell away, but your dirty little secret is that you all still come in droves, act like clueless jerks and basically get in everybody's way. New Yorkers are very nice people; they just don't suffer fools gladly.

And, the last time I was REQUIRED to spend the night at the Hilton in Pittsburgh, I found that NYC does not have a monopoly on homeless and stink. The 'burgh holds its own in that respect. But, it is better than Iowa City, I imagine.

LOL... yea NYC is such a hot spot that the city didn't even rank top 50 on Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine (correct me if i'm wrong) ...but, I know, folks only want to visit. The only reason I fly into NYC is to visit my sister. And when I'm there, I try to talk her into selling her apartment and get out of the stink hole.

Otherwise, someone would have to remind me its even on the map.

sky high states: Comparing New York City to Pittsburgh?
They'e so different, that the mud-slinging wasnt necessary.

New York City:
High-rises, Broadway, Beaches, 5th Avenue, Chinatown, Chelsea, shopping, dining...etc..etc.

Pittsburgh:
Affordable housing, mountains, shopping malls, the strip,
friendly drivers.....etc...etc.

8 million choose NYC.....a million or so, choose PIT.
It's all about choice.

Pittsburgh has some real gems. The William Penn is a world class hotel. I had breakfast with Peter Faulk there one morning and met Sharon Stone there. They have afternoon tea and the margueritas in the evening are great. Also Tambolinis (sp) is a great family run Italian restaurant just down the street. The Art Institute has put out some of the world's best artists and the football team---well they're the BEST in the World. What more can you ask for. Oh and from Mt. Washington the signt is awsome.

Looks like fried Buffalo Chips.

They are pierogies. Best if they are filled with sauerkraut and cheese.

Really? Must have been from Steelers fans yacking in the elevator. The rest of the city seems pretty clean to me, with the one exception being the soon-to-be-demolished abandoned houses that the city owns.
