Another welcome from one former old guy from Pitssburgh to another. I was born in Pittsburgh and lived in Cecil (Bridgeville) until I was 5. Then our family moved to Sharon, PA. I got married, relocated to Rochester, NY in 1973.
Although we mow call Rochester home, there's no place like Pittsburgh.

Hi Pat...yeah the 'burgh isnt too bad...we dodged a bullet this week with all the flooding.....Pittsburgh and the suburbs didnt get much to speak of...not like out east....Plus you have all the sports hype(I could care less, myself....lol) Our ball team cant beat its way out of a paper bag, the hockey team is up for sale...all you have are the Steelers & even then ya got Big(dumb) Ben riding with no lic. OR helmet into Chryslers....our 1st round draft pic is woman beater who's been arrested about every other week....i look for his contract to get shredded.... BUT the Rodding & cruising scene is getting bigger and better every week........

One of the reasons I moved to Florida was to be able to own a rod with no fenders or hood. Now I here Pa. has loosened those laws up, finally.
My girlfriend and I went back to Pittsburgh a few years ago, first time since '82, and Man is is cleaned up. The fish are even alive in the rivers.

Hey Ol Skool...we dodged the bullet too, but East and South of Syracuse got nailed. My son in law's parents were coming up for the weekend and they got stuck outside of Albany. They closed a 117 mile stretch of the NYS Thruway (I-90). Rte 88 was also washed out! They left West Chester (NY) at 2:00PM and arrived at 4:00AM this morning. Usually a 5-1/2 hour drive.
