I just had to rush to the rescue of my old home town...

Please don't perpetuate the myth that Pittsburgh is this dirty old city
where the air is full of smoke and tar. It's no worse than the average
city, and a lot better than many.

It's funny, but when I was moving to Colorado, people said "Oh going
to Denver (the only CO city they had heard of), Gonna get some nice
clean air huh?" In Colorado when you tell them you're from Pgh, they
say "Oh, what a scummy town" (though they've never been there). Both 
views are so wrong!

Sorry about the drift...

As usual, HP has nothing to do with what I say here.
