Reply #7: very good script, albeit...

the info about pittsburgh is inaccurate. whatever it was during the mill days(and i can say nothing positive about carnegie any other mill owner, especially after pinkerton guards were hired to kill strikers during the homestead steel strike of 1892, among other incidents) pittsburgh it quite a different city now. the city repeatedly has made the "most livable" list and is becoming a mecca for tech start-ups. in a 5-6 mile radius there are at least 6 colleges/universities that attract students from all over the world. upmc medical center ranked as one of the best in the country and we are very politically active. of course it is in no wise perfect, but we are not the city that "built in the mechanized fury of the Industrial Age, stand idle…decaying around legions of the unemployed and the woefully underpaid and under-compensated". that world is gone.

as well, i don't know anyone since the 70's who can relate to this: "In the oxidized scream of rust, one can almost hear the wails of rage of those souls who surrendered their life force to erect and work the now abandoned factories, mills and foundries of the nation". you write very well, but you should have stayed longer to get an accurate view of the city.
