Well, he did "shoot a man in Reno, just to watch him die..."

I miss some of the local businesses and the leaves turning colors in the fall.

Right On Velvet! I have mastered three entrees, that I am always asked to bring to pot lucks, Lasagna, Chicken Enchiladas in a Green Chili/Tomatillo Sauce, and Grilled Shrimp with Romesco Sauce. Hands down, these are all way better than anything ordered in even the better restaurants. All ingredients from scratch, no cans of anything, no pre-shredded bags of cheese, finest meats. Takes a few hours to prepare, but for me, cooking is relaxing and therapeutic, and the results of the extra effort are worth it. (And you fast become a welcomed and popular dinner guest).

Yes, the Daily Sun is famously free of BIAS.

I think living in Florida is great at my age, but there are times I reminisce after 7 years down here.
We travel back, but it just isn't the same.

For me it has to be the 4 seasons, not the snow and cold, but the change in weather, the fall colors that never seem to last long enough.
The farm fields in summer watching the crops progress from month to month, or the smell of freshly cut hay and miles of corn fields.

"They" are wrong

I took classes in five states while getting my 4 degrees. And also moved around as my father rose in the company he had worked for most of his life.

Gone, but not forgotten. Sadly, no generation will experience anything as wonderful as we had.

Many of the Depression and Post-War Institutions that made the City of Pittsburgh great are no longer.

Of the bygone days, those of us who enjoyed them KNEW they we're really special. We didn't take them for granted.
It was a big city, small town atmosphere where everyone was friendly, quite like TV.
(Of course, there's always Some!)

Tailgaiting before the Steeler games at Three Rivers Stadium, the Boys of Summer Pirate Games on a warm Spring nights and the Penguins at The Civic Arena.

The Pgh. MARATHON and the Great Race.
The 3 Rivers at Point State Park, visited as often, as North and South Parks.

HOT Mancini's Bread, Sunseri and Primanti Brothers in the Strip, Donahues on 5th Avenue. The Original Oyster House in Market Square (est. 1933) FOR THE BEST Chowder and Fish Sandwiches.

Shopping in Downtown Pittsburgh during Christmas Season and marveling at their mechanical window displays.

Carnegie Libraries, Museums and the Duquesne Incline all visited at least once a year, as a tradition.

The Original HotDog Shoppe near Pitt.
The Pittsburgh Press. (My Dad set Page One as a Printer and brought home a Free Paper every single day for 30 years.)

My Testimony-
It was the Best Of Times....
And
You Can't go home again, but if you were from there, may your Pittsburgese stays with yens forever!

Go Bucs.
Go Steelers.
MARIO, Franco, and Willie.

You had me at North Park.... Must have been there a thousand times.. Need a return visit soon... agree with all the other mentions as well... and yes.. I am a Yinzer.... many in these parts....

Pretty much this the 2 times I flew to Hawaii since I've been here last year.

FFF = flying for family. Looks like I might be settled in here! (since day 1)

Reliable health care. Hospitals here and in Leesburg are grossly mismanaged, inadequately staffed, and the people they hire seem to be malevolently incompetent.

Try the hospitals in Gainsville, it's worth the drive.
