Surging Pittsburgh (not about the Steelers)
What does Pittsburgh have in common with DC, Atlanta, Tampa, and Boston?
For public consumption, I'll just say we live near where the original village of Squirrel Hill was before development around streetcar lines reshaped the neighborhood in the 1920s. (Read Franklin Toker's urban history of Pittsburgh for more information on this.) Or, one could say that the nearest shul is Bnai Emunah.

My grandparents live "upstairs."
