I know – I know. We probably should take it elsewhere but ----------- consider the source. Even I am a Wiki editor so how much can it be trusted? 
The tours, if they still have them, end in October or possibly earlier but the area around the Waterfront section of Homestead and the items on display around Station Square are worth the effort if you are near them. One would think Station Square would be railroad but they have some interesting items of steel heritage as well.
Ha! True that.
But my real source were all the Pittsburgh natives I knew living there. The wiki article was just for fun. But really, how would I know to call
It that unless Pittsburghers taught me? I lived in Oakland, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, and East Liberty. I promise you- natives told me it. It may not be everyone, but it’s not just a tourist thing.
Plus the Pittsburgh park- one tire up on the curb!
Oh, and if there’s a parking chair out, DO NOT MOVE IT. Yeah, it’s illegal. It’s still sacred.
He’s too busy talking on his cell phone (via Sync, but still distracting) to really pay attention to how fast others are driving! I think the two-lane freeways/parkways/highways/pikes/(insert any other names for roads here) are part of the issue for him. In Atlanta, we have 4-7 lanes, so you can usually get around slow pokes driving the speed limit! I follow the speed limit plus 10mph rule on surface streets and most highways. But on controlled-access roads (which we refer to as interstates) I push it to about 13-14mph over. In Georgia, any speeding ticket less than 15mph over the limit is a ZERO point offense. So you pay the ticket and it never appears on your MVR and your insurance company never knows about it. =)
Sometimes I’m bad about pushing it closer to 20mph over when I’m in a hurry. But my car shows the speed limit (on a little speed limit sign) right next to the digital speedometer. When you exceed the limit it turns red. But one of the reasons I slip under the radar (literally and figuratively) is because I drive a Volvo, so I don’t exactly call attention to myself from the cops.
ESPECIALLY if there’s been snow and someone has shoveled out a spot.
See, that’s where I’m different. Just being captive here I can see the Big Picture. Native Pittsburghers, especially some of the Squirrel Hill/Shadyside Academic crowd, claim EVERYTHING as being from Pittsburgh. Fast left turns, fast talking, odd local expressions (well – there they may have something), the Lindberg Baby kidnapping, the defeat of Hitler, and every worthwhile sports victory since Ug beat Og in a rousing game of Clubs. It’s part of their charm.
Yeah. I go to the Iggle fer some bread an t-paper and yinz move my chair, we’re gonna have words n’nat.
It is an odd language.

Honestly, having lived in Buffalo, Boston, St. Louis, San Diego, Connecticut and now on Long Island, Pittsburgh was one of the few places I’ve lived that actually had that move as an expectation (drivers would get annoyed if you didn’t give them time to take that left when the light turns green).
We’ll just have to agree that we have had different experiences while living in our respective parts of Pittsburgh during our respective time there. FWIW, I lived there from 1989- 1995 and still go back as my stepson lives there.
