This past weekend I was in Charleston for work - My company had a booth set up for the Charleston Home Show. As exciting as that was, I do have one story for you. On Saturday morning, the second day of the show, a man walked through with an Alabama shirt on. After telling him about my company I said "Roll Tide." He grunted and I asked him where he was from - some small town outside of Huntsville. I then offered the information that I was from Montgomery and he looked like he could care less. Whatever jerk - just trying to be friendly.
On Saturday afternoon as the show was wrapping up for the day, an older couple came by. The husband was probably in his mid 70s and he had a steeler visor on. After I did my spiel about what my company is, I said "Go Steelers!" He looked at me and told me I was wise beyond my years. He of course asked if I was from Pittsburgh and I told him I could only wish. Ok, not really - my boss was standing there, so unfortunately, I had to tell him I was from Alabama. He told me he is from Collinsworth - or something like that - 50 miles southeast or southwest of Pittsburgh. We small talked for a few more minutes and I got the story on how he and his wife met, very sweet story.
Anyways the whole point to this story is that all the people that I have met from the Pittsburgh area are kind and friendly people - and believe me, after living with Matt and Wade for a few months, I had met quite a few Pittsburghers. People talk about southern hospitality, and it does exist to some degree, but its nothing like Pittsburgh Hospitality.
Also from this weekend, I had dinner with a friend in downtown Summerville - which is right outside of Charleson. I came across this store and had to take a picture. I'm sure Guerin isn't that obscure of a name, but Billy G is the only Guerin I know of. These are just signs that we will one day be together.
