  Most recently NYC and CT, but before that Baltimore, Bay Area, Boston, Buffalo, ME, Nashua, Rochacha... Pittsburgh is the only place I&apos;d live if we were staying in the US.<br><br>Used to ahve to pick up Son across teh city at rush hour; ONLY rush hours are bad traffic. NYC and Baltimore are sooooo much worse.

  They don&apos;t say but that bus fell in a old boat tunnel. They hit it when building the U.S. Steel building in 1967.

  For everything it lacks, Pittsburgh does have personality. I think it has on average some of the oldest housing stock in the country. Not that old is always gold, though. Everyone knows that classic &quot;Pittsburgh house,&quot; you know, the clapboard rectangles covered in Inselbrick siding and vinyl awnings. Not even the faintest hint of any decorative element. H.L Mencken went on, and on, and on about the houses in Pittsburgh in his famous 1926 essay &quot;The Libido for the Ugly.&quot; Recommended reading for anyone with an interest in the city, though be warned Mencken gives Pittsburgh no quarter. He hated the city with such an abiding passion that he was even quoted as saying &quot;the existence of Pittsburgh is proof that the United States is not a civilized country.&quot; Anyway, thanks for the video!

  Its been 15 years since I&apos;ve bern back. &nbsp;I considered going back for the draft but I&apos;m the only one left from my family and my closest classmates are &nbsp;gone too! &nbsp;My only connection to Pittsburgh is through the Pirates and Steelers. I left 1968 when I joined the USAF, and later that year the Penguins started. &nbsp;So that&apos;s my current connection to the &apos;Burgh!

  I really like it here in Pittsburgh! &nbsp;Great video and the self combusting gps on the dash really hits the mark 🤣. Every place has their way of generating &nbsp;and utilizing funds. &nbsp;Pros and cons exist everywhere. &nbsp;Overall Pittsburgh is a cool little city with beautiful geography and architecture. &nbsp;Good restaurants and art scene too. &nbsp;There are many great places in the entire metro region.

  One of the biggest problems, and I&apos;m a former lifelong resident of the city who lives in WV now but still works in the city every day, people are too nice and it causes terrible traffic problems. I&apos;ve driven a truck / trailer in Manhattan for construction projects, and I&apos;ve got to say the traffic by volume is worse...but the people know how to drive it. They aren&apos;t going to wave you over if you need to change lanes. You just do it. If you stop on a ramp that yields, you&apos;re liable to be shot. It&apos;s chaos, but it&apos;s organized chaos where everyone (mostly) knows the rules. In Pittsburgh, you&apos;ll have someone that completely screws up a zipper merge and lets 3 / 4 people go ahead of them. Then the frustration builds for everyone behind this person, and they feel like they shouldn&apos;t let someone in since now they&apos;ve had to wait longer. It eventually leads to people nearly locking bumpers and refusing to let anyone make a move. All because someone decided to be overly-generous. I&apos;ve never seen such problems with tunnels anywhere else in the country. For some reason people in Pittsburgh are incapable of maintaining speed through a tunnel.
