Me !!! Welcome back !! Pittsburgh is finally starting to come alive with new restaurants and bars and clubs. We are starting to develop our waterfronts and skiing and a "beach" are all within 90 minutes. Winter is a little slow though .... You'll find some friends on here though for sure !
Welcome to PGH, Ms. Penny. Best thing to happen to the 'burgh in a long time.

Thank you so much ��☺️☺️
Hmmmm...Does 'clinical depression with a great down comforter and Netflix' count?'
Or 'catnapping and social isolation'?

I'm sorry...I came back up North in 2012, and while i wasn't moving back from a necessarily subtropical climate, it sure beat this shit.

Hey, you can always mix it up and drive around, discovering rare routes that wont eat your vehicle, too. Can't say I'm surprised that PA has some pretty hefty substance abuse rates, tbh. Seriously. If the weather here didnt suck so bad, I'd probably relapse lmao. Not really, but disliking the winters in Pittsburgh is really like, an understatement for me

Ill agree that pgh weather leaves a lot to be desired. Between the 4 months of temps dipping below freezing and the chronic lack of sunshine �� this place is good for April -Nov. The rest of it sucks unless you have a nice place up at 7 springs or the like.

Even 7 springs has sucked quite a bit this year. Although today it was sunny until you skied where they were making snow,just about everywhere, which covered your googles. . But the sun was shining there today
