Happy Thanksgiving, Pittsburgh

 Happy Thanksgiving Pittsburgh

 

It always amazes me how a year goes by so fast. In another few weeks we’ll be heading into 2009.

Amazed again.

Despite the condition of the economy, there are always things to be thankful for. And I think it’s good to focus on those things at this time of year - to help keep our sanity intact and to serve as a reminder to be grateful for what we do have that continues to sustain us, whatever those things may be.

It’s usually pretty easy to take things for granted.

So, to anyone who may be reading this, I wish you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

Pittsburgh’s Legacy

 

Every now and then I need a diversion from … well, you know, all the stuff that requires some diversion every now and then.

So, I came across this video and I thought I’d share it.

Certainly, this is not all there is to Pittsburgh’s legacy. But just as certainly, it bears some recognition. Even if you’re not a rabid sports fan, it’s still pretty cool.

Some of you have probably already seen it, but if so I think it’s worth watching again. For those of you who haven’t seen it … enjoy.

36 Hours in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh - America's Most Livable City 

Okay - so we have a lousy baseball team (at least for now). But there are reasons why Pittsburgh was voted America’s most livable city.

And when New Yorkers sit up and take notice - well, that sort of ices it.

A friend alerted me to an excellent travel article on Pittsburgh, written by Jeff Schlegel of the New York Times, and I thought I’d pass it along.

The article also contains some links to other pieces about life in The Burgh.

Great photo of the  Duquesne Incline on Mount Washington, too.

Enjoy.
