Here comes a city, pushing you away from me
I got this from EC and it's way too funny and true not to post. Admittedly I've corrected some of the bad/grammar spelling, though considering the subject matter I should have left it in.
(The bolded statments are ones that are particuluarly true or apply to me. My miscellaneous comments are in italics.)
You know you're from Pittsburg if...
You remember when we called it The Burg, not P-World
I always preferred P-town, actually.
You’ve had some parties at Motel 6 aka the 6. You probably got kicked out sometime around 3 though.
You know that big Frank was cool and Mr. Beck was a biotch. Haha....CENTRAL!!! =)
Dude, Central bites, it's all about Hillview.
If you live west of Bailey, you are not from The Town, you are from The West. You still cool though.
I think I'm the only one who refers to it as its now correct name of Bay Point.
You remember when they would put up the fair on Atlantic Ave, across from Lucky’s Supermarket.
I do and I miss it hella bad! Damn those new apartments.
You’ve been to the Seafood Festival at least 10 years straight.
I've actually never been. I hate seafood.
You know about Titty Mountain and Thermometer Hill.
You know who Carlos at City Park is.
You’ve swung em somewhere off in those warehouses off Garcia.
I'm not sure what that means, but I work in that area now.
You spent a good portion of your childhood at either 7-Eleven, City Park or Buchanan Park.
You couldn’t wait for Buchanan Pool to open up every year.
When I was still presentable in a bathing suit, I loved going there on school trips.
Two words... The Mecca. But if it’s too crowded you can head up to Nations.
I heart Nation's over the Mecca forver!
You know where all of Seeno’s houses are.
You watch or used to watch What’s Happenin’ on the EastSide or PirateTV.
You got faded up by JD or Augie.
You know the Big Little Game ain’t Stanford vs. Cal.
Where’s the closest emergency room? It ain’t on Loveridge!
Somebody in your family or one of your neighbors works at Posco.
True, my grandpa worked there and one of my uncles still does.
3 more words....The beer box.
You remember when we were 415. And then 510. And now 925. lol
You waited an hour to get your shit washed at Superior on Railroad.
Either you do or half the people you know go to Good Shepherd.
I almost never went there but I was baptized there, that so counts.
You used to wear the plain all white baseball hats.
You wanted a stang, maro or a cutty. Not a civic, integra or an accord.
You had a stang, maro or cutty.
There ain't no damn H in Pittsburg!!!!!!
Damn skippy.
Parkside Market
Your Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Auntie, Uncle, Cousin, Sister, Brother, etc... went to PHS...
You went to Small World Park and screamed when the train went in the dark tunnel!!
I still scream in the tunnel! And fish for crawdads* in the pond.
*This "fishing" consists of tying hot dog pieces to a stick, catching the crawdads, and then watching them crawl back into the water. I wouldn't eat one at all, let alone one from SWP.
