I have been aPittsburgresident for 8 years now although I have visited the area quite for quite a few times before moving to this beautiful city.  Contrary to what I have previously heard about Pittsburg, pretty much the negative things about it, I haven't had any negative experiences so far.  In fact, there are a lot of things to like about Pittsburg.  I begin to wonder how and where those negative comments originated.  Well, thinking again, perhaps some have had negative observation or experiences encountered while in Pittsburg, which probably had been shared to others and as a result had spread out.

The City of Pittsburg actually is bouncing back, it boasts a picture of growth.  The old downtown is being rebuilt, some traffic-drawing business establishments had already embarked in this desirable city, a number of new communities had been built as newer ones begin to proliferate. It is pure joy that I feel as I see my home city improve and grow day after day.

Our Farmers' Market for one, had been existing for years but all those years that I've been a resident here that I've only been there once, just two Saturdays ago.  This may be a shock to some. Honestly, I was the one who was shocked the most! I didn't expect that my very first Farmers' Market experience would be so much fun and nostalgic!  Not only that vendors sell their freshest produce, but the people in general were so nice, accommodating, just being friendly!  It felt as though we really are a community!  It felt so different but in a very pleasant way--the environment evoked a true homelike feel to it.  It almost was like that show on TV, "Cheers", where people know each other by name sort of thing. I know I'd be going there more often now and I'm sure I will spread the word about our Farmers' Market and the City of Pittsburg that I am happy to be a part of it!

Hope to see some of you there!
