Basically in a lot of places here if you miss an exit ur f*cked lol. However PGH jenky directions are the best…also our feigned disgust that “sumin ain’t there no more”.

“Over there by the old high-rise.”

“It’s up there on Baum by the old Pizza Hut.”

“You know where Baby Land is, make a left there.”

The best is when you find yourself using landmarks that haven't been there your entire life.

You just learned it because you heard your parents using it so much, and so any time you're talking to anyone their age, you just fucking use that landmark because that's what they're going to know.

I used to tell people I lived “right behind Gullifty’s”. Gullifty’s closed right around when I moved to Pittsburgh, and long before I lived in Squirrel Hill.
