I was reminded why I love Pittsburgh today

[TimeChaser]

I've been living in Ohio for the past three months for college. I came home for Thanksgiving, and today we went to the Strip District. Now, I know I've said that Pittsburgh is boring and all that, but now I really wish I wasn't going back tomorrow. I really do love the Strip District, which for all of you who've never been to Pittsburgh is an area filled with lots of locally owned shops and markets. A lot of the places there have been around for generations and a remembering going there when I was little. And now I don't want to go back to Ohio. :cry:

3. I was born and raised 30 miles north of Pgh.

I get my sister, who still lives in Harmony, to send me care packages of decent kielbasa (none of this plastic packaged shit), scrapple and Lemon Blend.

6. I love Pittsburgh. It's a great city.

Totally underrated by people who have never lived here. I think it still has a reputation as a dirty, crime filled city, and that just isn't true at all anymore. It's a very cool, quirky city filled with lots of great architecture and old trees and little funny shops.

I love living here and will be sad when I have to move away.
