The Wild West of the East

I've never been to pittsburg, and with a house sale in the works, I couldn't run away too far from home. So we head on up taking a nice trip through the backcountry to get to Pitt.

I was only there for a short period of time, But a few things were made very clear...

1. The people living there are a cult. They worship the God that is the steelers football team.I'm pretty sure it was off season that i visited and half the people walking around had steeler tee's, they talked about sports, it was everywhere.
2. The place having the nickname the steel city is no joke. Pittsburg looked extremly industrial and through me off for a bit. i was warned about the crazy bridges but that was a non issue and i dont understand why people cared. The hills though were quite steep, sudden, and quick to turn. They got close to matching san fransico's roads cause my car was a struggling.
3. Pitt is just Harrisburg. If harrisburg expanded into a real city, while making the same weird decisions that they usually do. eventually they make it to a decent end result with a shitshow in its wake. This ultimally brings character to a city.

The airbnb was a bit of a mess. So picture this, you drive out of the city, up a run down hill, into an alley, to the desolate part of this neiborhood. you get to then house, all the hosues behind it are abandoned. you then have to walk around back, through a sketchy corner, up some rickety stairs. and there was no key to the front door. So, for the the first day so i had to find another stay. Then when I came back and there was a key to the front door, there was no key to my room so i had to lug everything around with me. That wasn't resolved until a second guest showed up, locked himself out of his room because his key didnt work. i tried to help lockpick the door with some bobby pins that i had for a few hours and was able to turn it... in the wrong direction. We eventually give up and he has to sleep on a couch. the next day the locks are fixed and everyone is happy.

Until the power goes out because the electricyy wasnt paid for. there was just mess after mess. but as they say

While in the Pitt of the state, we got to drive up Mt. washington again. no fun sticket this time. though i am trying to pawn the other sticker off on someone. i ended up to some weird concert for a belgium folklore band called blato zlato. The vibe was only a little culty. The rest of the time i ended up just finding weird things to do in the short time that I had, see pictures below as an example.

like an actuall Pitt, medically usefull, would recomend keeping around. 8/10
