I live about an hour away from Gabe's Pennsylvanian habitat in the heart of Pittsburgh. Not the greatest city for culture and everyone is either about football or hockey, but the crime rate is low and it's clean. There are some seriously scummy slummy factions of course, but what city doesn't have them?
I'm actually in the middle of a move, and will be settling in Squirrel Hill, an upper-middle class part of town inhabited almost entirely by jews. A massive cemetery that easily tracks a mile is not twenty feet from my front door - oh the nights I will spend there talking with that greatest of company; the dead.
