Pittsburgh is a weird place considering its place in the world. You’re up north, where people are supposedly rude. I (54yo) am from suburban Atlanta, but that is far from my experience too.

Bonus story, one of the coolest experiences I had anywhere.

I found myself at a mostly empty Primanti Bros bar after work, I think we were in Moon Twp. People started coming in; some white collar guys with loosened ties, blue collar workers in mechanic uniforms. A very mixed crowd.

Then the Penguins game came on.

Holy shit the atmosphere was electric and I was 100% pulled into it. Penguins won and when it was over, everyone filed out. Again I found myself at a mostly empty Primanty Bros bar.

I don’t watch hockey, but I pull for the Penguins now.
