I recently received an email that said, "You know you're from Pittsburg if..."  I have lived in the Pittsburg area my whole life, so I was among the people who remembered Pico ice cream shop and Ken's pizza, but the thread had included comments from some women who had lived in Pittsburg since they were born and are now in their 80s.  Their memories were so much more impressive.

Do you think in 70 years kids today will be telling others that they remember when 1106 was a Drive-In on Broadway between Quincy and Jefferson?  Or that they remember when Quincy St. was simply a two lane road and not a six lane super highway?  We just need to keep the historic perspective in mind for everything.
