Jokes aside, my grandfather (healthy 71) died when he hit a horse with his car, but that's different. Horses are domesticated.

I did come close to hitting a deer one morning, on Brighton Road, of all places. Come to think of it, I came REALLY close to hitting a deer in the middle of the night on the turnpike while moving up here. My girlfriend was behind me in the moving van, a desk got obliterated in the ensuing sudden stop.

Once I was stopped at a stop sign with a drop on one side and an embankment on the other when a deer jumped down off the embankment, hit my car and ran over the drop down the hill....

Yep -- I was hit by a deer. Dented my car door with his hoofies and bent my side view mirror before he bounced OVER my tiny Sentra....

I have been to a polish tavern, Bloomfield Bridge Tavern, which I loved. Cant find Zywiec here in Texas, but they had it. Such a tasty brew.

anybody?

BBT is supposed to have the best Polish food in Pittsburgh. I guess you found it on the first try.

Riding the East Busway is a good bet for turkey spotting.

Live in North Texas now....
What I miss about 'daburg?

#1 HILLS and Trees and REAL grass.

#2 rain... we've had over a week of 100+ degrees, what I wouldn't give for a good ole PA thunderstrom.

#3 snow...good snow, like 3ft where no one goes anywahere and you sled down the street.

#4 The wildlife in my suburban Peters yard...DEER, Turkeys, chipmonks,bunnies, squriels, BIRDS (woodpeckers etc...)

#5 SARRIS ice cream... haven't found it's equilvant anywhere...still searhing.

#6 Kennywood... just got back from sixflags and yes it may have some bigger faster coasters...but it can't compare to the atmosphere at kennywood. AND...no WHIP!

#7 Fries on everything...salads and sanwhiches! Whoever first put fries on a salad..GENIUS! yes you get very odd looks everywhere else in the country when you put fries on you salad.

#8 GREEK festivals....yummm

#9... seeing the ethnic clubs in the small towns etc...the slovak club etc. REAL community feel to the neighborhoods... not just houses put in etc...

#10... yes..WDVE (we have CD's that friends send us to listen to!)

The People. So nice here. Will actually give you directions, say please and thank you, will say hello to complete strangers. Just amazing to a girl from Philly! And low "snob" levels...most do not think they are better than anyone else.

Low cost of living. Being able to buy a 3Br brick house for under $150k. Beers under $5. Dinner and wine for less than $50.

That view coming out of the Ft Pitt tunnels. I've done it a hundred times, and still love it .
