I was thinking about Quiet Storm the other day, thinking they sure were early in that area. It was a total dump around that building, but now it sure has cleaned itself up. It is a pretty cool place.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip! And you certainly got around.

By the way, there is an actual church in Korea which ripped off the design of PPG Place:

Zenith on the South Side would be an option, too.

I thought it was PPG Place for a few seconds right after the page loaded.

I am in Philly and also noticed the difference in how nice the folks in Pittsburgh are.

Looks like alot of those New Jersey people along with those from Philly and NYC go to the Jersey beaches. I just read NJ has the 2nd rudest beaches in the United States.

See below:

Oh yeah I can agree with that. Lots of people in general are rude in NJ. That's one of the many reasons I want to leave.

Would in a heartbeat if we could sell our house in NC and get a job in the Burgh again but most companies won't help relo anymore and we can't afford it otherwise. We tried for a job at Heinz back in March but I think they see a NC address and won't even consider it.

Maybe once the market improves we can try....def want to move back up north--these brutal humid summers are killing me (and I grew up in Charleston SC)

In the meantime I will live vicariously thru these forums!
