Sheesh! Pittsburgh! Not Pittburgh! :-) I'll at least give you credit for
creativity (usually people write Pittsburg, which is how the other Pittsburgs
in Kansan, CA, TX and where ever else spell it). Sorry if you were making a
pun about the number of potholes we get to drive through here in da 'burgh.
As far as the T goes, it's nice if you live in the South Hills like I do, but
as a whole, mass transit in Pittsburgh sucks. You can't go anywhere without
going downtown. For example, if you want to go to Greentree from Beechview
(these communities are separated by about 1 mile), you have to go downtown.
Last summer I was in Berlin and was amazed by how easy it was to get from place
to place. That being said, however, Berlin is much more densely populated and
there is more tax money to pay for it (due to the # of people and the higher
taxes).
