Pittsburgh feels 20 years younger than it did in the eighties and nineties. Back then it was very much being a young person in an old people’s city. Now as someone getting closer to being one of those old people, it feels like it has completely flipped. The demographic keeps skewing younger and as a result the amenities and lifestyle offerings have moved more toward that market.

It’s interesting because the hate used to come almost exclusively from the rolling coal loving nimrods who think electric cars are some liberal anti-merican conspiracy just shy of taking their guns. But now for some inexplicable reason, Musk has gone on an absolute bender to alienate the very people that are his core customers. And now those people are driving the Tesla hate. Clearly the Twitter project has turned out to be one of the most tone deaf endeavors Musk has undertaken.

Worth a revisit - just avoid the 12-2 slot and you are good! I used to have a shop close by back in the days when they used to stay open crazy late - like original Primanti hours before it become a yuppie t-shirt stand that made sandwiches too. The rare times I do make it over now though it is still great - still the same quirky off-kilterness and the food hasn’t changed a lick.

Yes - totally agree on Cambod-Ican! It’s not what I’d call traditional General Tso’s but I find it to be the most interesting, unique version and not overly sweet.

Generally speaking a couple of our neighbors just put out garbage bags on the ground, cardboard boxes not broken down, etc and their cans are the ones that are upside down, across the alley, lids a couple houses down… It’s kind of entertaining at times. Not saying we are doing it right all the time or don’t scratch our heads at times, but there does seem to be a correlation to cans being where they belong and how crappy people make their jobs.

Assuming this was last night but if not:

Morcilla for tapas style, amazing cured meats, etc

Poulet Blue for steak frites (or whatever the special is), aligot potatoes and the soufflé. Even if you’ve had too much - you haven’t.

And the obligatory Gaucho recommendation - everything is awesome!
