I love this. I grew up in Pittsburgh and remember the BIcentennial celebration well. My Dad worked for an engineering firm that worked on the moving mechanism for the Civic Arena.  Now my daughter, who grew up all over the country, lives in Bloomfield and loves it.

latrobe and uniontown is part of the pittsburgh metro area...thats why those inventions hold salt. to say latrobe and uniontown arent 'pittsburgh' is like saying brooklyn or long island isnt 'new york city'. metro areas count more than city proper people....geesh. altho to be honest...uniontown and latrobe is sorta pushin the boundaries lolol
