The West Coast of Pittsburgh

Please take a minute to read about some proud "West Coast Pittsburghers".

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports that on June 4th, over 200 people gathered in Los Angeles to "sing" the praises of Pittsburgh.

The group gathered to take a photo, sing a Mr. Rogers song, and celebrate the amazing talent that has come out of Pittsburgh.

Last year, a similar event took place on Broadway in New York City.

In my view, it is extraordinary that a group of busy people (most of whom had never met) were willing to gather in honor of their home town.

Some may be tempted to look at this photo and say - " Look at all of the people who have left Pittsburgh."
I see it and say - "Look at all of those talented Pittsburghers. Even though they are on the other side of the country, their hearts are still in Pittsburgh."

This is at the core of the Pittsburgh Nation - people living in every city around the country who still consider themselves Pittsburghers.
