quote [ My first apartment was in Carnegie, a borough where the football stadium is named for Baseball Hall of Famer Honus Wagner and the baseball fields are named for Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka. It’s like Pittsburgh goes out of its way to confuse you.... Pittsburghers tend to judge how far something is not by miles or minutes, but by how many bridges and tunnels it takes to get there. (One river is slightly inconvenient; more than one is a serious effort. And if you have to take more than two tunnels, forget it.) ]
This is just a folksy story about what it's like to live in Pittsburgh, it's good if you just need a break with some light humor.

My wife has family in Pittsburgh. I spent some time in New Jersey. And they both suck to drive and navigate. But for me New Jersey was more infuriating. It is unnecessarily complicated. There are reasons for Pittsburgh's crazy roads. The topology requires it. There is no reason for the mess in New Jersey.

I've been to Pittsburgh, but did not drive. Thus, the main thing I remember is its crazy alcohol laws.

Thank you very, very much for posting this article. Now I don't ever have to live in Pittsburgh.
