thats was exactly my point.
to take a step further, pittsburgh became pittsburgh because of mom and pop, small business. etc… now everytime you argue that people say “you dont like change” or “big business is good” what is pittsburgh now thou… i dunno i think its kinda of a shithole with nice areas scattered throughout. I’m sorta jealous of my parents… that generation says we have all these advantages… but hey, back then you could walk to forbes field and catch a ball game, ride the trolley into downtown. i sure as hell dont wanna walk in the northside and i hate parking downtown. musta been nice to go to isaly’s and eat lunch, musta been nice to go to southpark for the county fair. to me Kennywood as it is… is that last link.

pittsburgh is not a cookie cutter big city. You cannot make this place like any other city by building big fancy buildings, new interstates, and new entertainment facilities.
