Five things I like about Pittsburgh:
1) The city is small enough to enjoy and diverse enough to have a little something for everyone.
2) The people are very friendly. It feels like the different ethnic folk get along well here and I like the differences.
3) Food. I can satisfy all my food lust here from Thai to Italian, sushi, vegan, seafood and anything in between.
4) The climate. Summers are beautiful and mostly bug free. The winters are not that bad and the streets are plowed better than other northern cities.
5) The drink. There are pubs/bars all over the place. Within one mile of my home I can drink at no fewer than 15 places - makes you understand why there are so many alcoholics here.
5 + 1) Sports town. This town loves and strongly supports sports of any kind - I Love that!!!
Things I hate about this city:
1) Small ass roads. People park on the street and it makes it difficult to get down many of the streets.
2) Smokers. It seems like over half of the people here smoke - yuck! It is a filthy dirty disgusting habit.
3) Taxes. This state/city is money hungry and tax the living shit out of everyone. My take home is but 64% of my gross after all the fees/taxes and insurance and I still end up paying at years end.
4) The hospitals. By far the worst of any I have ever visited or worked. They run on the cheap and could care less if safety is skirted or staff are miserable.
5) Steeler waiting list. I have been on the list for 6 years and will probably die without ever owning season tix.
