Commentary

Pittsburgh, where I bought a house a couple of years ago, is a friendly place. I remember walking up a hill in downtown among the big old county buildings. The many hills of Pittsburgh are divided where two rivers, the Allegheny and Monongahela, unite to form a third—the Ohio. One building had a brass plaque commemorating the Eastern European immigrants who helped build “The Steel City” when they moved here starting in the late 1800s.
