Anyone around Pittsburgh?

lol, we'll see but doubt we could figure out anything short notice... just got to the hotel and things could get kinda dumb tomorrow... I'm staying at the Hyatt at the airport but where I'm going is down south near Metz WV... supposedly I might be redirected to Anaheim CA afterward but hopefully not..

Looks like Metz, WV is almost two hours from Pittsburgh. Watch your cornhole, bud.

Anyone familiar with Pennsylvania would never mistake Philthadephia with Pittsburgh. ...... Philadelphia is a hive of scum and villainy.

I don't see the difference.

Didn't the mayor of Puttsburgh just blow up a bridge so he could get a photo op with the president?

I’m down for whatever y’all want to do, but someone would have to give me a ride

Pittsburgh is bad. Just not Phithadelphia bad. Yet.

Philthadelphia has that class 1 city clout to use and abuse.

Crime wise, IIRC, Pittsburgh is worse. Not sure how they managed that but they did.

EDIT: There is some mixed reporting on how safe that bridge really was. Some say there wasn’t anything wrong with it. Some say there was a lot of corrosion, missing chunks of concrete, and exposed rebar.

News reporting that it will take them a year to a year and a half to find out why the bridge collapsed.
I could tell them for free in about 30 seconds. 50 years of winters and road salt.
Bridge is in the part of town where my son lives. Told me he drove over it and walked under it all the time.

But you aren't a duly contracted and certified professional. They can't have opinions from the likes of you no matter how correct you may be. There are proper protocols to follow and tax payer money that must be spent!

Yeah, too much driving today, and I got stuck in the traffic around 5:30 on 75? not to mention the time change making for a short night... maybe I'll make a longer trip sometime in the future...

I've been to PA a couple times in the past but they were short trips too, I went to Chambersburg then, I think I flew into Baltimore both times and somehow drove through Gettysburg both times just cuz...

The long drive I did was driving from Hastings NE to Waterloo IA, spending the night then working for like 6 hours then driving back to Kearney NE to catch my flight the next morning... I can't do that anymore apparently...

One question after my drive through West Virginia, what the heck is a "Hot Spot"? They were all over the place but I've never seen one before...

 

[bobbywalter]

Depends.


And.

It's.


Wes by gawd virginia you heathen.

 

[bobbywalter]

Generally a gambling spot...or club/bar

 

[scotts90ranger]

That's what I figured, the first one I drove by was big and pink so I assumed something else, but that's probably frowned upon in the bible belt...

 

[bobbywalter]

Yeah I work there often

Send me your picture. My sister-in-law is a State Trooper over there. I can ask her to harass you for no good reason. Just to make your day more interesting.
