I just found your blog following a link from somewhere else, and I'm a Pittsburgh native who's been relocated to northeast Ohio until after I graduate college. Pittsburgh totally has a pull to it that no one except someone who leaves the city can really realize. I hope to be back for good soon, but until then I'll have to sustain off of my occasional visits and this blog!

I moved from Pittsburgh to Philly after college and have adopted Philly as my new home, but I have to admit that I'm jealous of my high school friends who moved back to the burgh and are raising their families there. I am guessing from your photos that you live in MtL (I also grew up there) - - it really is such a gem. How lucky you are to truly appreciate where you live and what you have. Reading your blog always makes me excited for my next visit "home!"kasha0621https://www.blogger.com/profile/02180367529275525352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-10015196924336702642015-01-16T10:32:28.892-05:002015-01-16T10:32:28.892-05:00I'm a Pittsburgh girl by marriage!

I worked in PPG1 forever and the energy you get from downtown is unparalleled.

Everyone was headed to NYC and made me feel slightly bad about "going home." Flash forward some years, and everyone is married, pregnant and coming back to PHL. Now I'm the smart one, with all of the restaurant, club, neighborhood & school news, from whom they seek advice. Trust me, your friends will be back, with families in tow. In the meantime, keep on loving the 412 like I do the 215. - KLV in PHLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-73634657281480304312015-01-14T13:23:08.809-05:002015-01-14T13:23:08.809-05:00I go to UVA, so I can definitely relate that every...I go to UVA, so I can definitely relate that everyone moves up to DC after college!

This post was so honest and so real, which is something that like you mentioned, we don't often see in the wonderful world of blogging. I also think that the decision you made is something that many people your age struggle with. Kudos to you for your great attitude and refreshing outlook. I'm confident that you made the best possible decision. I loved reading this post and hope for more just like it down the road.

I'm originally from Philly but graduated from NYU, and deciding to move back to Pennsylvania was a tough decision for me too! At the end of the day though, I LOVE Philly the way you love Pittsburgh, and being truly content and comfortable in where I live is more important to me than keeping up with the Joneses in Manhattan. PA is the best :)Gabrielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407827850331601771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-53023285142880699172015-01-14T08:29:02.060-05:002015-01-14T08:29:02.060-05:00I love your enthusiasm for "da Bergh"! ...I love your enthusiasm for "da Bergh"! I am a longtime reader mostly because of a shared Pittsburgh connection (I'm quite a bit older than you). I am not a Pittsburgh native and I no longer live there, but I have such great memories...the friendly people, the hills and valleys, the museums and restaurants, the best pizza I've ever had (Mineo's and Caruso's), and the unmatched Steelers pride. There's a lot to love. Enjoy your city, never say never, and good luck with your blog and career!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
