I didn't catch it so I am curious about other people's impressions. Was it a good game? From what I read it sounds exciting. And how did our city look? What kind of comments did the announcers make? What kind of shots were shown?

I meant to watch at least part of it but got distracted by a computer game. :P

I saw bits and pieces. The main thing I noticed was that everyone seemed pleasantly surprised by Pittsburgh, they all loved PNC Park and all seemed to be having a great time. I was a bit dissapointed in the local media coverage of the entire event. They always had some reporter standing in some hall talking of the festivities. I wanted to see street scenes, crowd shots, party scenes overcrowded riverfront shots. Oh well, I had to work through most of it.

The red carpet was brilliant! The fans and all stars blew a gasket.

Heres an interesting note. A friend of mine went to a pirates game a couple of days ago. He had great seats behind home plate. He said down in front of him were, Tom Hanks, Ron Howard and Dennis Miller. Yes, just a regular game and these 3 were there. He said they were having a very good time and it was a beautiful day. It is also rumoured that they were seen at Falling Water yesterday. Perhaps a movie bing made in Pittsburgh is coming? Or they are just here enjoying our great city

I get that vibe too. I think our image with the general public in this country is finally starting to change.

I really hope we start to get the respect we deserve, and maybe start gaining population. But not to the point of over-crowding or a sudden jump in cost of living. I like that the traffic here is light and my rent is cheap :D

Well, consolidation & annexation would go a long way in restoring city proper's peoples number "image".

The city's pop goes up by about, what, 50% (around 450,000) during business hours? Our TV/media market is Top 20 - 25? Let's face it, Pittsburgh is really a "city" of about 900,000 right now.

The image isn't going to be the only thing changing here within the next 10 years, I believe...

Unfortunately I can no longer read the Pittsburgh Business Journal because they reformatted so that articles can only be accessed by Print Subscribers (99 bucks for a year's subscription)... but one of the headlines says: "With eye on Pittsburgh, Disney applies for $2M state grant"

Perhaps this has something to do with the star sighting...

Does it involve Johny Depp as a new mascot?
