The Rachel Maddow show visited Pittsburgh for the NRA convention. She had this to say:
The NRA held its convention this year in Pittsburgh, a city that is way more beautiful than it gets credit for. Pittsburgh also has way worse traffic than it gets credit for with 70,000 extra people in town for the NRA who would not otherwise be there.
She then took a ride with City Councilman Rev. Ricky Burgess as they discuss the gun violence in Homewood. You can watch the video here.
What I love, is watching them leave downtown and head past the Strip District and then turn onto the East Busway. Government cars, as well as emergency vehicles use the busway all the time, although it was a little strange to watch, I’m used to being higher up on the back seats of the bus, it was fun to watch him pass the stops that I’ve become so familiar with.
