Talk:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Two Graticules

Hooray, a page for Pittsburgh!

Perhaps we could choose the most convenient of the two points for Saturdays.

West Graticule (lon -81): Includes West End, Airport/Moon/Coraopolis area, most of the Beaver Valley, North WV Panhandle, and Youngstown. Mostly land, easy to reach by interstate. High likelihood of a point in the middle of nowhere. (For instance, today's location is well past Steubenville.)

East Graticule (lon -80): Includes much of Pittsburgh, Monroeville, Greensburg, and part of Indiana County. This would usually be more convenient for most of the region, but also covers some of the less desirable East End neighborhoods and suburbs.

North/South Pittsburgh and Butler are pretty much split.

As for me, I'm on summer break and have nothing better to do, so I may join once in a while. I live in the North Hills area, right on the line. 66.212.135.123 03:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm taking a summer class and do have better things to be doing... but it's so enticing I can't help myself. Tim P 04:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

What if the main Pittsburgh page just links to the (not yet created) "East Pittsburgh" and "West Pittsburgh" pages... and then each Saturday everyone can chose to go to whichever seems the closer/better/more-feasible location? --Cahlroisse 06:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
