LOL.... Oh, man... ain't that the truth. Plus, in the year since I moved
here, every major highway has been under construction at the same time. Kind
of reminds me of Boston's big dig. You just can't get anywhere from anywhere
else.
However, I don't want to totally knock Pittsburgh. The people are great and
the town has a lot of character. Come to think of it, Pittsburgh also has
great restaurants. Someday, when CMU's business school decides I'm allowed
to actually leave the building, I hope to take advantage of the local
attractions.
