I received this today.  My first one.  What a suprise!  My boarderline numbers somehow held up.  Anyone else hear?

Congrats!  Pittsburgh's a great city.  If you aren't familiar with it, PM and I can give you a general overview.

Yeah, just stay out of Oakland.  The law school is in Oakland, but you'll be able to avoid it, I'm sure. 

Oakland really isn't that bad, Franz.  Especially after having lived in north philly and in New Orleans . . . Wilkinsburg can be rough in parts.  But oakland is only dangerous for women (huge sexist overgeneralization, but not far from the truth).  In fact, Pittsburgh has a very low crime rate for a city its size. 

As far as living in Oakland, though, Franz is probably right. It's not that nice, and there are really nice neighborhoods (shadyside) just a mile away.  And they are still cheap to rent in (450 for a nice 1-bedroom).

i dont really know much about it but i was helping this girl move there because she was starting school there and we were just kicking at this party and we literally became a part of a drive-by.  the only good thing about it is that i instinctively pulled her to the ground when i heard gun shots and she still sends me something on my birthday each year.

damn.  sorry to hear that. 

Yeah, Oakland can be poopy once in awhile.  Perhaps I am being too light on it.  I just tend to compare it with these other much scarier places I've lived.

thats ok.. i had a good experience near there last spring.. i went to a Pitt b-ball game.. not sure who the hell they were playing anymore, but it was a big game, Pitt lost, but after the game we were at a bar and Mark Cuban walked in bought us all drinks and took us off to the strip club. funny guy.  I guess he is from that area? he sure doesnt act like a billionaire.
