Sixthburgh?

Having lived in Pittsburgh for six years before I moved to Brooklyn, I totally understand a recent comment by a blogger about Pittsburgh:

I would not move back to in Pittsburgh because the Post-Gazette's Twitter page only reports on crimes and the Steelers.

No doubt every Pittsburgher should feel proud of the sixth super bowl champion, but isn't it too much when even the Pittsburgh Symphony waved Terrible Towers in the concert?

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl maybe just joking by renaming himself as Steelerstahl and city council renaming the city as Sixthburgh sounds fun; but it is at such a moment that the leaders of the city should realize more should be reaped from the glory of the football and it is a great chance to advertise the city as what it is: a city of bridges, mountains and rivers, world-class educational institutions and a national-level cultural center. Sure, Pittsburgh is not just about football, but the stereotype would have it that way.

I like Brooklyn, a neighborhood where nobody is anybody and anybody can be anybody. Sure, here are plenty of Steeler fans on the night of Super Bowl in a bar of Cobble Hill, but there aren't so many who didn't give a damn.
