Misconseptions
I had never known much about Pittsburgh, the first time i was here was probably a little over a year ago, and that was to visit the school i now go to. I am so accustomed to Cities such as New York and Philadelphia that i just assumed Pittsburgh would be just like them; and by “them” i mean loud all night long, very dangerous, and scary to walk alone at anytime. Although i soon found that that perception was very wrong. When I go back home on brakes people are always asking me how I’m adjusting to the city and if I like it or not, and my honest answer is that I love it here so much and honestly didn’t seem to see much of a difference other then I walk everywhere instead of drive. The part of the City I live in is so not like anything that I suspected every city to be like. At night it’s mostly quiet other then the occasional siren or bus going bye, but other than that it’s decently quiet. It’s also so dead here on weekends. Everything either stays closed or it opens late and closes early. My friends and I always like to joke between us and say that “New York is the city that never sleeps and Pittsburgh is the city that always sleeps.” I also seem to feel safe here most of the time, I mean of course there are parts of the city we all know to stay out of, but where I live is not that dangerous at all.
