you are wrong because Pittsburgh is not a Midwestern city

good ole Columbiana County... one of my favorite counties in Ohio... heading east into Lisbon is where I first started to feel like I was "home"... what a quaint little hamlet... E. Liverpool has some good "bones" but is unfortunately quite downtrodden... at least nearby Calcutta (the shopping mecca of Metro E. Liverpool) has a Tim Hortons AND a Sheetz! I got a speeding ticket in Hanoverton a couple years ago... the cop was using a 1980s Crown Victoria... it's a little nothing-village... which is why I was amazed that there was some pretty interesting early 1800s structures a couple blocks off the highway next time, get some Wellsville!

I hate the Rt. 83 big box / megachurch strip too... think it's called Burbank Rd.... that's where all my co-workers lived/shopped/dined... I could never get any of them to go downtown to great places like Matsos Greek Restaurant, Olde Jaol, and P.J. McBurgerstein's

Iron Man was my favorite comic book when I was a kid. I was very pleased with the film adaptation. Downey Jr. owns that role.

brandscape... I like that term

Kunstler would enjoy this

OHGeneral: what's the deal with the boarded up building next to Tulipan Hungarian Bakery? I don't remember it being in that condition when I was there

notice PNC Park ranks THIRTIETH in "team quality"! hahahahahahaha... put a MLB-calibre team in there for once and it would take its rightful place on top of this poll... the Pirates are like the Cincinnati Bengals of baseball... what a squandered stadium that is Love these quotes about PNC What is the worst incident you've witnessed against an opposing fan or yourself? * "There aren't any bad incidents I've witnessed. It's difficult to get too fired up at a Pirates game, the fans are so numb from the interminable losing!!" * "I wound up sitting in the midst of a crowd of drunk West Virginia natives who were rude and smoking." * "The level of play for the past 15 years is the worst." * "Witnessing Jeromy Burnitz, Benito Santiago, or Derek 'Operation Shutdown' Bell put on a Pirates uniform." btw, Miller Park at 2? wtf! Progressive is quite nice... no complaints here... and the team is consistently good... definitely a Top 10-er

I always thought The Blade was considered Ohio's best newspaper.

looks like i'll have to start eating at Max & Erma's.. never been there before... I don't know where the anger comes from, UncleRando... but this move strengthens Max & Erma's financially.. and keeps the operations in Columbus here's an exerpt from a much longer article: http://pittsburgh.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/stories/2008/04/28/daily4.html?surround=lfn Pittsburgh firm to acquire Max & Erma's for $10.2 million Pittsburgh Business Times Max & Erma's Restaurants Inc. is going private in a $10.2 million deal. The Columbus, Ohio-based restaurant chain agreed to be acquired by Pittsburgh firm G&R Acquisition Inc. G&R will buy all 2.55 million outstanding Max & Erma's shares for $4 a share, a 37 percent premium over the stock's Friday closing price of $2.92. The boards of Max & Erma's and G&R have approved the deal, while stockholders and executives that hold a total of 45 percent of company stock have voted in favor of the transaction, Max & Erma's said.

i love it

yeah!

Uptown... also known as Bluff and SoHo... is a long, slender neighborhood stretching from the southeast corner of Downtown to West Oakland... just to the south of the Hill District. It occupies a bluff along the northern shore of the Monongahela River, across from the South Side. Uptown is home to Duquesne University's 48-acre campus. This rapidly-expanding Catholic university (10,000) is well-known for its pharmacy and law schools and is currently undergoing a significant capital campaign that will transform its area of Uptown. Uptown is also home to Mercy, one of the city's major hospitals. Dense with very old rowhousing, Uptown has been beaten down and battered over the years, much like neighboring Hill District. It serves as a major through route connecting the economic hubs of Downtown and Oakland, but offers little reason to stop. Much of the historic building stock has been razed by suburban property owners for "illegal" parking lots, serving workers at Mercy and Duquesne. There are reasons for optimism, however. Duquesne's expansion, the construction of a new arena along Fifth Ave (plus associated developments), and the neighborhoods strategic location between hot area like Oakland, South Side and Downtown offer the promise of a renaissance. view of Uptown looking east from Mt. Washington... Duquesne University is on the bluff... and the Allegheny County Jail gets some prime river frontage the transition from Downtown to Uptown looking west... Duquesne and Uptown in front of Downtown skyscrapers jail, Duquesne, and the soon-to-be-demolished Mellon Arena (home of the Penguins!) on the bluff above the Parkway East 10th St. Bridge connects Uptown to the South Side let's hit the street.... first... the Roma Lofts... Duquesne University's new Power Center... home to Pittsburgh's first Jamba Juice! there's a small cluster of bars and restaurants along Fifth Ave. near Downtown... directly across from the new arena u/c Mercy Hospital's retro-futuristic nightmare the former Fifth Ave. High School... that guy told me it closed in 1976... it's largely vacant besides a kitchen operation... would make a great residential building in a healthier neighborhood some of these ain't so bad don't know what this is... but it looks great love this South Side in the distance bounded by a steep hill to the north view of the South Side from Blvd of the Allies Birmingham Bridge connects Uptown to South Side SouthSide's new Oxbridge Development taking a cue from existing housing there's always a pick-up in the way... victory
