I'm not from Pittsburgh but I've been there many times and love the place. I was curious to see if there's been any progress on a plan to merge Allegheny County with Pittsburgh. This would make Pittsburgh one of the largest cities in the US with over seven hundred square miles and 1.2 million people. Has anyone heard anything about it ?
Hamilton, Ontario is going through this transition. We're probably 15 years into it. I hope it doesn't take 40 years between transitional periods. Playing host for The Pan Am Games will surely make the transition period go faster. By this I mean, Blue Collar Steel Workers to White Collar Pen Pushers/ Arts district.
Hopefully Hamilton (A sister city) will make the right choices and become the ambitious city again and live up to its name.

I have so many good memories of the Civic Arena, but if they don't tear it down, it's gonna fall down on a crowd. It's going to be missed for sure!

I'm sorry to know that they are tearing down Civic Arena. It's one of a kind and still beautiful. I was sorry when Syria Mosque was demolished too.

Not yet. They are building a new hockey arena next to it, and then they will tear it down.
It is a beautiful building, I'll be sorry to see it gone.
