How Pittsburgh Are You | Comments

Been in NC for 30 years but I fondly remember early mornings in the DU student union cafeteria, the great club sandwiches at Sofi's next to the jail, the crazies in the William Penn Hotel, the trolleys, the Hill district garbage collectors at 4 am, swimiming in the fountain in front of the IBM bldg., never being afraid to be walking around town at any time, great boots at Flag Brothers, White Castle and the great bridges. God, what a fabulous place. GO STEELERS!!!

My first job was teaching and coaching at Rostraver Township (Belle Vernon) now Belle Vernon Area. Married a Belle Vernon girl and have lived in Delaware for the last 51 years!

Attended a Steeler-Cleveland game in 1948 and loved the Single Wing employeed by the STILLERS! Still got 100% on the test and HATE the BROWNS, RAVENS and BENGALS!!!

Oh my gawd!! I've been away from the Mon Valley for 20 years and there is NO PLACE like home (Charleroi, Belle Vernon, Fayette City) Still carry my Giant Eagle card on my keys

To RevWally, howbout' Jimmy and Steve in the mornin'? Sometimes their funny (funny), sometimes their borin'?? Thank GOD there will still be hockey nights in Pittsburgh. 13yrs away/100%. I miss (original) Danny's (south hills) and Primantis (Primanti Brothers)pronounced Permantees (unless it was 3:00 am after a night dahntahn, in oakland (e.g., at Pitt) or on the strip, in which case it could have been anything). Go PENS!(diehard fan)

I was born and raised on the Norside. St. Boniface Church, Latimer Jr. High (now a condo), Allehgeny High School. Buhl Planetarium, walking the park, Got my wedding dress @ Carlisles. Walked the briges to dahntown - my mom worked at Eat n Park. I live close now - so whereever I go, I am around true Picksburgers, My family is still there, so my ties are strong. those of you that have been away for far too long, come on home - there's no place like it.

Just scored 100%!!!!!!!!!
Cleveland Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been away from the Burg for over 20 years and I'm happy to say I still have enough in me to score 98%. Don't get back often enough though. Born and raised on the North Side. Still love them Steelers too.

Got 100% even though I left the Burgh in 1986. I miss Pgh. now more than ever. The people, food (chipped ham and Big Boys), great memories, happy hours Dahntawn, the incline (which I took every day to get to work.), boat rides on Sundays up and down the rivers on the Gateway Clipper listening to Gigilo. GO STEELERS!

WTF

Born & rased on The Bluff.Gimbals,Kaufmans, the top of the Gulf building & the morgue were our playgrounds.Frank & Wally's had the best fries.Remember Ralph Kiner,"open the window aunt Minnie for here she comes".Rosie Rosewell.

Been in NC 48 years,scored 100%.

Another girl who left PA almost a decade ago, and still got 100%. And Jomama21, I know you probably won't read this, but you are my aunt!!! My dad sent this to me. hahaha.

You can take the girl outta Pittsburgh but you can't take Pittsburgh outta the girl! I left Pgh. 35 years ago but I got 100% Yes, I am proud!

I am embarrassed, I only got 99%, I guess a trip back to the 'burg is overdue!

Great quiz! I'm still 100% Burgh though I've been gone for 24 years. Moved to the Burgh from Canada when I was 10, moved back to Canada years later with one heck of an accent. Other Canadians didn't understand me! Whaddya mean you don't know what I mean when I call you nebby? I still slip back into the accent when I talk to or spend time with my fellow Burgh friends! Still a diehard Stillers fan (Terrible Towels, Black & Gold clothes for game day and even a Steelers Smashball! LOVE IT!) and have no problems finding fellow fans here in Vancouver, BC. I loved living in the Burgh and still miss it.

Great quiz! Born in the Burgh, raised in McKeesport (MASH class of '69). (Can't believe someone mentioned Brick Alley!) Left in "84 for Missouri, but my heart is still in the Mon Valley. There are so many more things that could be on the quiz, you'll have to do another one!

Does anyone miss the Original Oyster House for fish sandwiches and buttermilk? Who remembers what Bob Prince meant when he called for a "bloop & a blast" or "we need a hoover"? Anyone know where China Wall is? How about the great DJs, TL, Chuck Brinkman (now in Texas), Porky Chedwick?

Thanks to whoever put this together and all who commented for the wonnerful memories!

Left Pittsburgh area in 61. Get the Steeler Digest and cheering on THE STEELERS when they come to Raven's Stadium.

I keep telling my wife all about Kennywood and all the great school trips that I've had there. She wants to go. She surprized me with tickets to a Steeler game with the Saints. Stayed there at the Point and was able to walk over the bridge to the game. Had a great time! Got 100 on quiz. HERE WE GO STEELERS !

Baldwin HS'68; left in '71. Still got 100 w/2 guesses! Always easy to recognize that western PA accent; and enjoy saying that's where I'm from too..wish I had stayed a little longer. Thanks to all for reminding me of things forgotten, Isleys, Kennywood, chipped ham... Quiz made me realize I need to take my college kids for a visit soon to show them where I grew up.

Left Crafton over 10 years now but still got 100%. Lived in Phoenix and now Delaware. They will never be able to touch the people of Pittsburgh. Loved going to the Steeler games in Arizona. I had 50,000 of my best friends there. Go Pens, Bucco's, & of course, Steelers!!!!

Transplanted to Baltimore 20 years ago (yes, the Ravens suck) but as the saying goes, "You can take the boy out of da Burgh but you can't take da Burgh out of the boy." GO STEELERS!

I knew I would be 100% Pittsburgh. I have lived in Atlanta for 20+ years and still slip back into Pittsburghese when I'm with others from the 'Burgh. I get homesick when I watch Flashdance or Striking Distance, and there is no better music venue than the Syria Mosque (why didn't you guys save it - they saved the Fox Theater here. Jag offs). George Ford PITT '76 & '80, Eliz. Fwd. '72.

Got a 100 of course. Been living in the Tampa Bay area since 1985 but I still bleed Black and Gold. Grew up in the Homestead area and graduated from Steel Valley High class of 1977. Anybody remember Mario's yard a beer in the Southside and Chaunceys at Station Square on a sunday night.

Never lived there, never will. Took the test for grins, scored 54. I know some people from West Virginia that call Pittsburgh home, enough said.............

Left the Burgh 50 years go this year & I got 100 %.

Now live in Las Vegas. Lot of people here from the Burgh.

Been away for 22 years and now live in Richmond,VA. Lots of Stiller fans down here. Scored 100%. Used to live in carrick on the Flying Fraction trolley line-77/54. Met my late wife at Linden grove, spent time on China Wall. Watching the submarines race. Enjoying Danny's Hogies. Took a seminar while at Duquesne at Frank n Wallys. Fondly recall hank Stohl and Knish, Bob 'How sweet it is" Prince and Myron Cope. lat but not least, O'Brien and Gary!
