There seems to be quite a few posters here that get their knickers in a knot
when an American poster refers to a food, spice, currency, quantity, or
location that doesn't identify his country of origin. I, myself have been
the victim on occasion. I have had to (gasp!) type a store name into Google
to find out its location! On that note, I invite any and all to post the
name of the country from which tou are posting. I'll be first.

Hi, Neighbor! Me, too. What part?
I'm currently actually in Wilkins Twp. but
I've lived in McKees Rocks, Kennedy Twp.,
Plum Boro, the North Side, Shadyside, Forest

Northside, Shadyside and the downtown areas hold some very dear
memories for me, but we probably shouldn't "go there". ;-)

Nope, I think that you've got this weirdly named place confused with
a town in Pa. named Punxsutawney. That's where the lil' rodent named
Phil is kept.
