And I hate to be the voice of dissent, but from what I recall of Pittsburgh, "dark and forbidding" would not be that big of a stretch. Obviously not the whole city -- there were some lovely parts -- and granted this was 8-10 years ago, but I was not that impressed. I travelled a lot as a kid, and I had a more negative gut reaction to Pittsburgh than I've ever had to any other city . . . including Detroit. So I tend to defend the Pittsburgh-haters because I know where they're coming from.

What area(s) were you in?
That's why I made the Lincoln Park comment - obviously all of Chicagoland is not like one suburb. All of Pittsburgh (I'm talking the whole area, not just downtown) is like the South Side or Downtown or Greentree or Rankin.
I just think this kind of writing is ridiculous and like honeychile said, makes him look like the idiot. I don't get that he's appreciative of how much we love the Steelers - it's like he's saying the town sucks, our team has a sucky name and we're losers to be this into a football team.
