Arguementative thesis
My thesis for the arguementative essay is that there are too many sports stores dedicated to only Pittsburgh gear.
I understand wanting to show support for your hometown, but this is ridiculous. Although many have argued that it sets the city apart from the average cities that populate the US, I find it quite annoying. Not only does it present me with a sense of arrogancy, but it makes me not...
Beef with Pittsburgh
My issue with Pittsburgh may offend many natives to this city, so I strongly suggest you proceed with caution when reading this. Sports have always been a great way to relieve stress, meet new people, have fun, and unite a community. Pittsburgh is probably the most united community in America. I have never seen so much black and gold in one store, let alone a whole city. Not only do they support...

Dimplz, The Opposite..
Walking into the building, the familiar smell of sweat immediately hits my nose. I make my way to the bench and throw my pads on the ground in front of me. While I throw on the knee pads, crossing the straps in my nonuniform manor, Charvey enters the building and immediately proceeds to strap up.

Hmmm..
Upon hearing the assignment, my initial thought was confusion. How was i expected to pick an establishment to write about in such short time?? Oh well..so I thought long and hard.

I took a trip to Pizza Fiesta, when I got hungry, and came to the conclusion (after talking to the manager) that it is a family establishment. I love the...

I capture the drunken walks and the excited party modes you exhibit on your days outside of class. The snow settles around me, but I remain in place. Still wondering what I am? I reside across from the house of cars that swarm into the city. Take a glance some...

Pittsburgh..
I have heard many stories surrounding the great city of Pittsburgh. From the city’s huge support of the Steelers, to the infamous Primanti Bros. eatery, the stories come and go. However, it was not until I actually visited this bustling city, that I discovered a couple stories of my own.
I have yet to see a city so dedicated to their sports teams like Pittsburgh. On just about every...
They say you are crazy for falling in love, I say they are insane for not experiencing it. Why does the thought of sharing a part of yourself with someone terrify most people? So many are willing to pick up things that shatter lives in various ways, or lay down and allow themselves to be marked. Yet they flee at the thought of allowing any feeling to enter them. Grow up and allow the feelings you...
