Apartment Hunting
This morning, I arrived in Pittsburgh to start looking for an apartment. It probably sounds hopelessly rustic of me, but I was surprised at the selection of stores integrated into the neighborhoods. I suppose Pittsburgh doesn't have the real estate for shopping malls, so instead the usual JCrew and Victoria's Secret properties have set up shop in rows of ramshackle buildings adjacent to Mom and Pop grocery stores. Just seemed a little bizarre.
