Frightening. I've agreed with you on two things in the last 24 hours.

Read with interest the topic and the next topic "Why are you living in Pittsburgh?" //www.city-data.com/forum/pitts...ittsburgh.html I really enjoyed reading your opinions. Although I do not live in Pittsburgh, but I loved it. I want to live in this city. I hope it someday it will happen

They annoy me too, but not nearly as much as the "anywhere but here" crowd.

Ironically, those who decry Pittsburgh as being composed entirely of "yinzer" straw men are probably the closest to that stereotype themselves. If your social skills have limited you to the extent that you only meet one variety of person in a metro area of over 2 million, that's not the city's fault.

I even offered gas money for them to use their truck and a few bucks for a short period of their time, but it seems everyone I have asked were always too drunk or lazy to take up the offer. People sure love their beer in this town when they aren't at their real job.

So now I am going to rent a truck and pay two unemployed moving men to help me do the job, which is costing me almost a quarter of the tv cost.

In comparison to Lancaster County, whether it is regular folk or "old order" folk (and if you want to make fun of the Amish or Mennonites, that's fine) I have to admit, anytime you need a hand, they are more than happy to help, and usually don't want anything in return.

Not that EVERYONE in Pittsburgh is rude, it just seems as most I encounter are because I am not one of the "beer drinkin, sports watchin Yinzer types".
Now I know why I don't feel like I fit in anywhere (even though I've lived here my whole life. Stupid Yinzers.
