     Every year - starting at Thanksgiving week - the city of Pittsburgh puts on a super magnificent holiday event which last for a month - from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Last night - Friday Nov. 22 - 2013 - about half a million people with families showed up in spite of the cold rain cutting into little and big faces. The fireworks always look spectacular in Pittsburgh's scenery full of bridges and mountains. Of course, the world-famous fireworks family - the Zambelli family - are from Pittsburgh. 
    All of you - big city slickers from New York City and Chicago - should come here and take a look at those fabulous, Pittsburgh festivities - before you "snicker down your noses" on any city which is not the famous NYC or the lately "infamous" - Chicago - Windy City - experiencing their usual "holiday" spike in their normally - high - crime rate - contrary to what their phony, top city officials - tell the Chicagoans daily - on TV.
    At any rate - I am on my way to downtown, Pittsburgh's Market Square where the free concerts and the lovely commercial displays of every kind - shine in holiday splendor of 2013/2014 holiday season. Today is a dry day so it will be more fun than yesterday.
    Wish you were here!
