    3. --=======649F1A1A======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-45375450; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Ethel, Nah! First he wants to build a new hotel for the convention center and then, thanks to his chubby buddy in Harrisburg, maybe, just maybe, take care of the Penguins. After all, there are at least 10,000 people in this metropolis who go to Penguin games.......... IF they are winning! I don't know whether anyone pays attention to what goes on. The URA is helping the African American community to build an Heritage or Culteral Center downtown which is a joke for a dozen reasons. They're still paying for 3 Rivers Stadium which doesn't exist anymore. The URA and the supposedly the Feds are building new houses all over the city for people who can't afford to buy their own shacks. And there was something in the paper this week of another goofy subsidy job by the URA. And then I got that idiot who is supposed to be MY councilman but only thinks of Brookline..... where he lives. There is going to be a re-make of Brookline Blvd to the tune of $10 million. There is nothing wrong with Brookline Blvd and the road is in excellent shape which is more than I can say for a lot of roads in the city. And while I'm at it, how about the Port Authority of Allegheny County. I thought that their mission, when they forced all of those transportation companies out of business, was to provide a good transportation system at a reasonable cost. My impression of PAT is that they are an employment agency, trying to spend as much as possible for the least possible gain. Whomever came up with the idea to tunnel under the Allegheny, and whomever approved it in Washington, should be taken to the woods and shot! If there is a fire in the subway as it is now, there are several large emergency vents throughout the downtown area. And I do mean large. I haven't seen the plans for the extension but I pray that there is never a fire in the section under the river. Without a good ventilation system, somebody is going to die. By your sentence, it appears that you don't live in the city. Ethel, if you think he's wonderful (and even if you don't), you can have him! He's all yours!

    3. No Al! I don't want your mayor I would be held for assault and battery. I live in Georgia but Pittsburgh is my home town; all the relatives are there. I go back at least once a year for a month and catch up with the news everyday on the Post. I can't believe what he has done to Pittsburgh.

Murphy truly has made a name for himself albeit not the one he visioned. If you think that you'd be held for assault and battery, imagine the feelings of those of us who do live in Pgh.
