Atlanta has a Pittsburgh neighborhood and a Oakland neighborhood. The Pittsburgh neighborhood was named after the city in PA because it’s an industrial area.

As a Pittsburgher, let’s be honest. The O and Primantis are garbage. Give me Fatheads any day.

I had relatives on my dad's side in Pittsburgh and one of my cousins, Tim Hornish, was a punter for the Pitt Panthers in the early 70's. Visited once, in August 1977 which I remember because Elvis died while we were there.

Sorry to see it go. Whenever I would go to Oakland, I enjoyed knowing that it was still going strong---still across the street from where the home plate entrance should be. When I was a little kid, we never ate there. I saved my money for Forbes' Field's well-known green hot dogs.

If it works, cardiologists in Pittsburgh will be booked solid for the next two years!
