Yeah, i don't know if it is still there but there used to be collectable
toy store that occasionally had LEGO somewhere towards the western end
of Carson.

  For good or ill, I'm an import.  My wife's from the region but has
mercifully dodged the accent.  The most amazing thing to me is that locals
still talk about the immaculate reception like it happened this morning.

immaculate reception?

And why they cling to the illusion that they're still a steel mega-giant, I
have no idea.

Still, Pittsburgh has amazingly made the transition from the steel era
to medicine and technology.  I was just talking to someone who just
visited the city for the first time a few weeks ago who still had the
idea that it was a dirty "streetlights on during the day' place that it
was up to the 70s/early 80s.
