It’s not very often that I blog about my hometown of Pittsburgh, but today is one of those days. Congratulations to Pittsburgh, which will be hosting the G-20 summit this coming September. Good stuff. You can read the AP version of the story here. Of course, when the White House made the announcement today the media’s response was along the lines of “Whaaaaaat?!” But as a person whose lived in Pittsburgh for a long time, I’m very excited for this positive attention. We have a lot to offer in this city, and I’m glad that to show that to the world.
In addition, I must say that I’m ridiculously excited to see the Pittsburgh Penguins back in the Stanley Cup finals for the second year in a row. Sports, of course, are one of the major reasons people know about Pittsburgh, and between the Steelers and the Penguins, the city has had a good run as of late. The Pens didn’t pull it out last year, but I’m feeling good for this year.
LET’S GO PENS!
