The wall of our hotel commemorated such famous Pittsburghers (Pittsburghians? Yinzers!) as Billy Conn, Gene Kelly, & Billy Eckstein. One plaque on the wall says: "From our dynamic past, we look towards a radiant future."
I love sleeping in a hotel bed. Niceties (though they forgot to stock our room). Taking taxis heedlessly (more this weekend in Pittsburgh than in 2 years). Seeing new places or the same places anew. Listening to accents & thinking about cultural differences.
I also love coming home, being met by my purring rubbing-up cat. Sitting in my own chair. Having food in the fridge instead of trying to figure out what & where & when to eat.
