Born and raised in Pgh...But am glad I don't live there anymore.

The majority of people voted against the stadium... but they got one anyway.

People voted against the absolutely stupid tunnel projects under the river.... but they will get them anyway.

Pgh is a shadow of its once magnificent self....This vital, vibrant city is now junk.

Entering the city from the airport every 200 feet or so you see yellow signs with every imaginable idiotic message.....most of them warings about DWI enforcemnt litering etc.

Allegheny county has always been a demo stronghold and always had corruption of the highest magnitutde....but there was an offset of intelligent working people in every walk of life...most of them long gone.

Now there are just the people who want free this and free that.

I hate it when I have to come to Pittsburgh....I once loved the place.

Mayor Murphy took a city on the decline and greased the slopes.

Allegheny county has always been a demo stronghold...
Yup, and it's tough to turn things around when citizens see a "D" and reflexively vote for it.

...but there was an offset of intelligent working people in every walk of life...most of them long gone.
Here, I respectfully disagree. There are fine people in the 'burbs of the 'Burgh, regardless of political alignment. There are signs of life in non-Democrats, and they're growing...but moreso outside of the city. Another thing that makes it tough to turn things around during elections is having Ed "The Rigger" Rendell as the governor.
