Last weekend I ended up visiting another city at a confluence - Pittsburgh. Fellow librarian and UIUC alum Neil and I went to a couple of games at glorious PNC Park. It really is a nice stadium, and easy to get to as well. And for a last place team, they had good, enthusiastic crowds at both games. I was talking to some co-workers earlier this week about my trip, and we all agreed that Rochester should try to be more like Pittsburgh. There is life after death in the Rust Belt after all. Of a sort. We also visited the Andy Warhol Museum. Funny how what was edgy and outre 30 or 40 years ago is a tourist attraction for everyday squares now.

"Rochester should try to be more like Pittsburgh"?
Dude. You need to set a higher standard! Human civilization is a glorious march of progress away from being like Pittsburgh.
Well, maybe I'm just insanely jealous of any city with a light rail system (that also means you, Minneapolis!)
