I went to Pittsburgh, or "Pix-berg" as the locals call it, for a tourism conference, November 2008. It was freakin cold and blustery there, but quite picturesque in a hilly, post-industrial sorta way.
Everyone drops the "F bomb" there quite casually--they use it as a noun, adjective, verb and adverb.
I had a fun time wandering the city in the snow, crossing rivers, riding the Monongahela Incline, touring old neighborhoods, drinking 'Iron City" beer, and visiting the amazing Andy Warhol Museum-- 5 stories tall and a complete fascination. (and of course they had a photobooth in the basement) |
