Respect the Parking Chair! Plus More Essential Pgh Rules

This is CityCast Pittsburgh.

I'm Megan Harris, and here's what Pittsburgh's talking about.

It's back to school season, which means there are so many new people in town.

Maybe that's you.

Maybe you're coming here for school.

Maybe you're starting a new job.

Maybe you've been here a minute, but the city is still confounding.

Like, why, as a people, do we choose to turn left instead of yielding at a green light? Why do we all have old furniture ready, waiting to be used to save our parking spot? If any of this sounds familiar, but yet unclear, today's for you.

We're revisiting a conversation about all the essential rules you need to know to live and thrive here in Pittsburgh.

We have got a pretty full house today.

Executive producer, Mallory Falk.

Hello.

CityCast Pittsburgh contributor, Sophia Lowe.

Hey, Megan.

And friend of the pod, our former writer, Francesca DiBecco.

Hi, everybody.

So here at CityCast Pittsburgh, we do all kinds of things.

What you need to know, what's good to eat.

Oh, absolutely.

I love talking about what's good to eat, as well as little history tidbits, nostalgia, lots and lots of events and tips for the ways to experience the city.

Yeah, so today we're going to touch on what you need to know to live here in Pittsburgh.

Our episode is all about the essential things you've got to have down to really thrive here.

And maybe not annoy your neighbors.

I don't

know.

Definitely.

And we have a good mix here.

I'm born and raised Pittsburgh.

I've never left.

Francesca is our lifer.

Mallory's our boomerang.

Yep.

I did the thing left for school was gone a long time and then found myself back here.

Sophia is brand new to town.

Two years in.

You know,

brand new for Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh.

Yes.

Pittsburgh.

You can be here 50 years and you're still

you're still a newcomer.

Honestly.

And then I've been here for 12 years, but I've now married a local and made one.

So I like to call myself a Pittsburgher.

You are officially adopted, Megan.

You are a Pittsburgher.
