Some people never move on to acceptance.

I have heard Pennsylvania's style of flag referred to as a seal on a sheet. While our flag is not literally our state seal in the middle of the flag, you probably have to have to google image of both to prove that it is not. While it is not a bad flag, the complexity makes it hard for the average person to make a image of the flag or even quite remember what all the elements of the flag are. So it isn't easy to just slap images of it or stylized images of it on things as a unifying image of our state. If you want flags that are good examples of this, see the Texas or Chicago flags. Luckily Pennsylvania has the PA Keystone as our easily reproduced and recognizable symbol.

Probably true. I work in the city out in the Bakery Square area, I don't live in the city. Oakland is the farthest west in Pittsburgh I like to get without a specific event, like a baseball game or show downtown. As someone that comes from out of town, I might over estimate the number of people who visit the Strip rather than are locals.

I have had people from out of town want to go to Primanti's, Pamela's, and Deluca's because of seeing them on TV. Those seem to be the tourist attraction. The other restaurants are attractions for locals. I am sick of Primanti's personally.

The Strip District is a regional tourist destination. I live out in Westmoreland County, so I don't go into the Strip often, but when I do, it seems like at least half the time I am going with friends or relatives, many of whom used to be from the Pittsburgh region. As a tourist draw, I could see a case for chain restaurants. They came for the shopping but want cheap and/or predicable food.

It is a general PA subreddit, it just leans to the left a lot.

It's fine as long as the school equally rejects donations for all religions equally, right?

Reply to Trump allies interviewed nearly 200 election officials in PA, elsewhere to probe for weaknesses by Open_Veins_8
This is just intelligence gathering. The Fraud Squad will be out in full force if Oz and/or Mastriano lose in November. What would be interesting is how they respond if one wins and the other loses. How the democrats somehow rigged one election but not both?
