Pittsburgh Entrance
I’ve got a neat little glimpse at one of the simple pleasures of life in Pittsburgh. We tend to take this for granted around here, but the entrance into our fair city is one of the coolest in the world.
This footage is a couple weeks old, but I wanted show a bit of the drastic transition from colorful woods to sudden city. You don’t need too much imagination to picture the French, British, and Indians fighting for control of this critical region where three rivers meet at The Point. Once called Fort Duquesne, the outpost was renamed Fort Pitt in honor of British Prime Minister William Pitt who lead the English over the French in the Seven Years War of the 1750s.
And now you know how Pittsburgh got it’s name.
Thanks to @CheerfulKim for filming.
What city do you live in/near?
What’s the coolest thing about it?
Life. Culture. Education.
Life as Pop Culture Professor Clay Morgan
In The Matrix, Morpheus tells Neo he can take the blue pill and go on believing whatever he wants to believe. Or he can take the red pill to stay in Wonderland and find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.
This is a red pill type site that provides information in an entertaining way. It’s about clear thinking and good writing. It’s about finding meaning amidst the absurd. It’s about humor and truth.
I’m a writer / speaker who teaches history and political courses at a couple of local colleges. Where is local, you say? Well, that would be Wonderland of course.
On topics ranging from pop culture to the meaning of life, my brain’s always poppin’. Take the red pill and unplug.
