"Carnegie is bad, 'Sliberty is worse, IMO. And I have some friends who lived up on Mant Washington and THAT place is confusing."

Still say Carnegie is worse. In East Liberty you can always find Penn Ave. and on Mt. Washington the geography makes navigating possible eventually. Just find the intersection of Grandview and the McArdle Roadway and go down the hill, in either direction!!

An old boss of mine and I had a joke. He was "South Hills retarded" and I was "North Hills retarded." We both knew east and west, but whenever a dreaded north or south location came up, we knew who was going.

And what IS the big deal with the parkway. That new-fangled thing out to the North Hills is 579.

The parkway is the parkway is the parkway.....forever and ever amen. And the construction will never end either. :)

p.s. Kennywood is better than Disneyworld or Epcot ANY DAY.

Yep. That's EXACTLY what I was talking about.
I definitely fall into the "South Hills retarded" category.
The South Hills are ALL "over there, that way, out by the airport".
But it never stopped me from going there when I needed to.
I simply "knew" where I was once I could see it.
Just don't ask me for directions because I can't match the road names to the places.
I just navigate by recognizing the surroundings and having a "feel" for which direction I want to go. Never the same way twice.
