Family from Pittsburg!
Is anyone on here from Pittsburg or have family from Pittsburg? My whole family is from P-burg. I haven't been back in like 3 years but I want to return. I've got some really neat pics of that town that I would like to share...

No family there, but I grew up outside of St. Paul and graduated college from PSU.  |

Thats good. How's the night life at PSU? I know its a great school but I can't imagine going to college in a town of 20,000 and in the middle of nowhere...

In the middle of "nowhere"? It's "somewhere" for a lot of people. Many people love the fact they live in an area that is not congested with people, traffic, crime, pollution, corruption, etc. I'd even suggest a person's quality of life is much greater living in a place called "nowhere" as opposed to living in/around a large metropolitan area. No stress = quality of life!

Brian, I totally agree with you. Half my family is from Pittburg, and whenever I visit I get this genuine "good" feeling that runs through my body. I know all the local haunts including 1106, Chicken Annie's, Chicken Mary's, and my grandparents got married in the big hotel with the tower downtown. |

I am sure that there is bus service to P-Burg. Does anyone know of another way to get this young lady down to PSU? |

There isn't any bus service between the airport in KC and Pittsburg. The best thing to do is rent a car and head down 69 highway.
I use to have family in Pittsburg but everyone is gone now.
I was back last December and the town is college kids or welfare. It's NOT at all like it use to be when I grew up there.
