I just wanted to relay what a pleasure it was to stumble across Tube City Online. My wife and I are part of the mass exodus of late 20's/early 30's professionals that left the city looking for better employment opportunities, currently residing in Charlotte, N.C. My wife is from Butler, I grew up in McKeesport (Christy Park) and Elizabeth Township. My mother's family (100% Italian) have lived in Christy Park for 3 generations. I'm also a Serra grad as well.
We were successful in finding better employment opportunities; however, we've been missing family and the Pittsburgh area lately for the last few months. I've been trying to reconnect with family, Italian heritage, and the Mon Valley in general via the internet, and your website was a pleasant surprise.
We've decided that we'll be moving back to the Mon Valley (work can transfer with me) for the family, affordable housing, and the fact that there's nowhere else like it. We've been in two of the shining gems of the new southeast (Nashville and Charlotte) for the last few years. While they may be newer, cleaner, etc., they can't compare with the character and people of southwestern PA.
Well, enough blabbering for now. Again, great job with the website and best wishes.
