Pittsburgh is a weird place considering its place in the world. You’re up north, where people are supposedly rude. I (54yo) am from suburban Atlanta, but that is far from my experience too.
Bonus story, one of the coolest experiences I had anywhere.
I found myself at a mostly empty Primanti Bros bar after work, I think we were in Moon Twp. People started coming in; some white collar guys with loosened ties, blue collar workers in mechanic uniforms. A very mixed crowd.
Then the Penguins game came on.
Holy shit the atmosphere was electric and I was 100% pulled into it. Penguins won and when it was over, everyone filed out. Again I found myself at a mostly empty Primanty Bros bar.
I don’t watch hockey, but I pull for the Penguins now.
