Weather- My opinion: fair enough, I actually tend to agree...the summer is what is bad.
Public Transit- My opinion: Yeah, we could do a lot better.
Others:
Lack of Diversity- My opinion: Yeah right, people think all we have is a white people with the occasional black or Hispanic...We arn't on par with NYC, but we are by no means the country.
Lack of Touristic things to see- My opinion: yeah... I wish we actually had something going across the world for, besides being Texas.
Pittsburghers are the most sheltered people I've ever met. They've never been anywhere else, so they have nothing to compare this city to, so they complain about the most ridiculous things. And for city with such a "tough" reputation, I was surprised at how much the people do NOT live up to that reputation. Anything a few miles out of their neighborhood is "far", people actually think Pittsburgh summers are "too hot and humid", any place with a person of color is a "bad area"...I could go on. Just 2 weekends ago, I had plans to go to a movie with a friend but he backed out because it was "too cold." Too cold for a movie? C'mon, grow a pair, "tough" guy! And yes, some diversity would do this area good. Maybe these people could open their minds a bit if they met other people different than themselves and learned about other cultures. But just explaining to them sometimes about what life was like in FL, they look at me with a deer in the headlights look, so who knows, it might be a lost cause.
I just wish the people would be more open-minded and less "hillbilly."
Yep...sounds just like Philly. That's PA for ya Another testimonial in the books
I'm surprised to hear though that Pittsburgh is supposed to be tough,I guess compared to Philly it's not
^I honestly feel sorry for you that you have to endure that town. There is no way I could ever live there, but you do seem to maintain a pretty good sense of humor about it!
I dont like the fact that I can go a whole weekend without seeing someone....partway because there is nothing to do and partway because my friends all got babies and no babysitters...

If you're referring to Philly,it's not hard to have a sense of humour about it since I've found it to be such a circus
