Honestly, Honestly, I don't think I follow your reasoning here. It's more than possible to appreciate someone's point of view without defining ourselves by it, and I certainly don't think that Western PA suffers from a Uniformity Syndrome. On the contrary, it seems that PGH embraces uniqueness - perhaps that's why PittGirl was beloved, because she contrasted with the "mesh jersey" crowd. I’m gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there.

This weeks past events prove this. The embracing of simplemindedness and medocrity in this town kills me. This is not the end of an era. If we define ourselves by her/his/their (whoever PittGirl is or was) worldview, then I don’t want to be a Pittsburgher. That’s the problem. This region has an identity crisis. Why can’t we be like New York or Chicago and just all be who we want to be individually? Then Pittsburgh becomes truly diverse and not this place where belonging means wearing mesh Steeler jerseys every weekend. ARGH. PittGirl = PG = Post Gazette She wasn’t that good of a writer, wasn’t funny at all, very self important, and mega narcissistic. This weeks past events prove this.
