You just made it much worse. Not only do you get to drive in your car to go anywhere, but it'll also take at least 20 minutes regardless of where you're going and it'll be all on 2 lane country ass roads, and the destination will be some depressing strip mall anchored by a Kohl's and a Staples. And then you'll complain about how dangerous the city is even though you haven't been downtown in 20 years but your mailing address says "Pittsburgh" for some reason so you're allowed.

Ehhhh depends what part of McCandless. I grew up at the very southern edge in a neighborhood split with North Hills. It takes maybe 10 minutes tops from my parents' house to get to downtown.

If that was to me you'll see that I wrote 'north of McCandless' so by definition your area, and all of McCandless, would be in the North Hills based on my arbitrary feelings. ;)

It was meant as a reply to Morkle but work sidetracked me mid-post

and I said where I live in McCandless. I'm 20-25 minutes from the city. To me, it stops being the city up past Ross Park Mall, maybe near McCandless cross or those area where abouts.

Yup, McCandless Crossing is the boundary for me. Once you start heading north from there it's a different feeling.

When we lived in Oaks of McCandless (now 19 North Apts), we always viewed the Target/Giant Eagle as the transition, but after moving to Glenshaw it's definitely McCandless Crossing/Passavant. North Park is kind of it's own thing.

Takes me less time to get into the city from Zelie than it did from South Park.

I honestly think the elitism of South Park/Upper Saint Clair/Mt. Lebanon is totally nonsensical. The traffic is worse, the topography is worse, the housing situation being so close together is worse, the taxes are most likely worse.

I see no benefit to that side of the city.

You're not going to find any disagreement from me about city limits, etc. I'd prefer to have McCandless on my address than Pittsburgh, but I'm not losing sleep over it.

North Hills is North Hills though. Wexford is not North Hills.

Didn't Biden apologize for saying that? And the last time Trump apologized for anything he ever said was... never?

Biden did and Trump should. Just pointing out that such claims are hardly unique or limited to one side.

Ah yes... both sides are the same, except they're not. So the usual. Carry on.

No, he said that black people can only be authentically black if they vote Democrat.

I flew to Pittsburgh for the first time last week and I was surprised (and annoyed) at how far the airport is from the city proper. why the hell is the entrance to the airport on the west side of it making it even further??
