MichaelOne of Pittsburgh’s many charms is that in the spring and summer everything is really green. Fall colors are usually good, too. This is from a ginkgo tree in the back yard.

unicorndeburgh@MikePgh I moved to Pittsburgh 11 years ago, from Portland. The yard at my house was a sad mess, and I hired a landscape firm to help. The guy commented, "You must miss the lush green from Oregon." I laughed!
I lived in Seattle for 5 years a long time ago and still miss it daily. It’s a different kind of green. I miss the mountains and the water all around. The darkness in winter eventually got to me. Pittsburgh’s winters aren’t too bad, and the change in spring is always very welcome. I hope you like Pittsburgh. It’s far from perfect, but it has its charms. We live in Churchill in a really nice neighborhood. It’s affordable, which really helps.
