Not just Pittsburgh. GREATER Pittsburgh.

The next time you are sitting with your friends having lunch downtown and the conversation goes something like this:
Person: Hey, I saw today on the Greater Pittsburgh Convention and Visitors Bureau webpage that the arts festival is starting. We should go.
Person 2: Yeah. Hey maybe Nikki can come too. Let’s stop and [...]

I’m a wombat.

From a photo in the Trib today.

The “Gamecocks”? The GAMECOCKS?!? Are you kidding me with this?
No way in hell would I attend a college whose official name is the Gamecocks. And because PittGirl does not follow college sports in any way shape or form, the Gamecocks are new to me.
I’d be a [...]

In case you didn’t know.

In case you didn’t know. I hate the Parkway East more than I hate Paris Hilton, pigeons, and pompous politicians all rolled into one.
It is ALWAYS on the days I have to drag my car to town that hell breaks loose. This morning, some asshole broke down inside the Squirrel Hill tunnels, forcing the inbound [...]

PittGirl is HOT!

Hot. Damn!
Ninety-four.
I’m sure some of you are cursing God and the sun he made, but as for me … loving it!

A big fat WTF?

Burrell schools Superintendent Amy Palermo says products acting as a stimulant are prohibited and possessing them is grounds for disciplinary action.
She says the Jolt brand gum is a stimulant that has no other redeeming quality.
Reading this story about a girl that was suspended from school for three days because she brought to school and shared [...]

Bobby’s rollin’ on the river.

Rest assured that I have duly admonished myself for not having found this tidbit of pure joy until now.
I give you the raw footage of Mayor Bobby riding a hydrobike on May 19.
Know what’s even better? I give you raw footage of Mayor Bobby riding a hydrobike in a suit, tie, and dress shoes.
I [...]

If you’re going to get hit by a train.

Damn!
The moral of this story folks, is that the 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit must be the safest car in the world.
A 43-year-old man was treated and released from a Johnstown hospital after his car was split in two by a freight train last night in Derry, Westmoreland County.
Hubert Rice, of Derry, was stopped at a railroad [...]

PittGirl is tingly all over.

First, kudos where kudos are due, and not only are Kudos the bestest treat ever (I’m yours!), but kudos are also due to the Dish Headquarters for breaking this story before anyone else that I’m aware of.
I got a little tingly with excitement when I read the Dish post, and then the PG went and [...]

Stan? Is cool.

Posted by pittgirl on 24 May 2006 | Tagged as: Eye rolls, Wendy Bell

I think this new ad that’s on several downtown buses encouraging Burghers to watch SportsBeat by advertising the fact that Jason Bay of the Pirates said on the record of Stan Savran, “Stan is cool”, not only begs the question WTF? but also the question, why isn’t there a bus with Wendy Bell’s picture on [...]

PittGirllllllllllllll.

I have looked into my PittGirl Ball of Magic and have seen the future.
The Ball of Magic said, “PittGirllllllllll,” (The Ball of Magic is annoying like that, dragging out my name), “The Commonwealth will spend exactly the sum of one magillion dollars on printing up one of these ridiculous bumper stickers, and will find that [...]
