So I had to go to Pittsburgh yesterday to get my bride’s green card renewed – worst trip ever. Why would a city have two addresses exactly the same ten miles apart? The immigration office was at 800 Penn Avenue, however, when my GPS got me there, it was a used car lot in a ghetto area. When I asked the local operator of a rap music store how that was possible, he told me that there was another matching address across town.<\/p>\n
So I went through midday traffic across town. My Garmin GPS kept me driving in circles around the block when I got there trying to steer me onto a street that no longer existed, apparently. Finally, I just parked in a lot and started looking for the immigration office which, it turns out has absolutely no markings, signs or anything else you’d expect a government customer service center to display. And the temperature was anything but temperate.<\/p>\n
Anyway, that’s my last trip to Pittsburgh ever. They obviously didn’t want me there, and the feeling is now mutual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
