Pittsburgh – the people who’ve defined it as boring and stupid obviously don’t get out much & are projecting what they see when they're peeking out from under the rock they crawled out of. Pittsburgh is a city that represents cultural diversity, civic pride, respect, and history.

Some people herein have defined Pittsburgh as dirty and ugly, because they have managed by some miracle to grasp that there had been steel-manufacturing here. But it was named the 10th cleanest city in 2007 by Forbes magazine, and is home to the first green-certified historic building, convention center, warehouse, banking facility, and university residence hall; The Green Building Alliance, a non-profit development svc that promotes green community development is in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has consistently ranked high (achieving number 1 many times) in several livability surveys. It has state-of-the-art healthcare (UPMC), reliable public transportation, several neighborhoods, and is a relatively safe city w/friendly people. As far as culture goes, its local public television station WQED has won over 60 Emmys & 12 Peabody Awards (and is where Fred Rogers aired Mister Rogers Neighborhood).

A Cantiki Bar is a fusion tropical mexican and polynesian exotic–themed drinking establishment that serves fancy cocktails, especially rum and tequila based mixed drinks such as the mai tai or the margarita. Cantiki bars are often defined by tropical mexican décor which can include "tiki god" and Mayan masks and carvings; tapa cloth and tropical fabrics; torches, palm tree motifs, and live or decorative chihuahuas and parrots. Beverages are usually served in fanciful ceramic vessels or large "margarita style" glasses often garnished with fresh fruit, paper cocktail umbrellas, live flowers or plastic animals.

Food, when served, can consist of hand-held items such as
chips and salsa; pizza bagels; pigs in a blanket; meatballs on a stick, taquitos with sweet and sour sauce; and sopapillas.

Some feature indoor fountains and cliff-divers, bamboo fixtures, beach flotsam, woven grass wall-coverings, and panoramic South Pacific murals. Some cantiki bars have an entertainment stage for live exotica bands or Polynesian and/or Mariachi shows, or for hipper establishments - dance music.

The shittiest little hell hole of a town. 30 minutes out of Edmonton. Major town attractions are "Farmers Day" (once a year, "fairgrounds" (as in 4 rides) are set up with a rodeo) and the bountiful amounts of Stoners and Meth heads. Also memorable because of the ugly murals painted over every second building, including the old, rundown High School: Memorial Composite, which had so much property damage, it was cheaper to just build a new school.
