You and sskink should open a place. He's talked about doing it quite a few times but hasn't happened yet.

Yinzers aren't going to have any effect on whether, or not this restaurant succeeds or fails, as they aren't the targeted clientele.

What is Yinzer negativity?

I'd suggest that asking if this restaurant can meet demand for even one day per week is a perfect example.

People who reject the concept simply because it is different. Thinking that Braddock is gone and never coming back. Getting angry when younger and forward thinking people, who don't hold onto the same prejudices and notions of place, attempt to transform a community into something new and good.

For decades, certain attitudes have hurt once thriving communities. People choose to leave instead of contribute. People choose to complain, instead of offer solutions. Those attitudes do, in fact, hurt places, including businesses.

I think "yinzer negativity" is decreasing substantially as the negative people are increasingly moving to the outer suburbs... leaving a more progressive, "can-do" approach in place.

That's contradicted by the latest list of Pittsburgh being the 2nd unhappiest city in the nation.

I believe he is referring to the list mentioned in this post:

Another high ranking

Here is the list: Study reveals

Of course, lists are generally rubbish, but there you go!
