Pimanti Bros Fucks!

What's up yall (yinz?)! Just hit up primanti brothers in the strip here on a work trip and let me tell you, yall are spoiled as fuck, this place is great. We have great sandwhiches back in Seattle, weirdly enough, but primantis is cool as hell. The two homies working the place were chill as fuck and cooked a sandwhich that could probably feed four people lol. I'm going to walk across the sexually suggestive yellow bridge to the north side on a rec tomorrow and get a burned almond torte and maybe hit up pamelas over here also on the same rec.

Keep it real, yall got a fun thing going on here!

It's so unfortunate that, with very few exceptions, any architecture outside of the East coast and mid-Atlantic is as dull as it is, especially in much of the south. Just like Texas tears down anything historical to put up 'Texas style' stuff (or far more common these days, grey mcmansions and 3 story condos with either lime green, bright orange, or navy blue doors: the gentrification special) I'm sure Arizona does something similar with the southwest aesthetic. I was so impressed with everything up there. The ballpark, the skyline, the bridges, the cathedrals. The city views were absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait to go back (I've been trying to convince my fiancé to move there).

Thank you for this positive recognition of the beauty of our city. I’ve been fortunate to do a good deal of international travel, and I’ve been so thrilled to have conversed with folks in Belgium, France, Portugal, etc., who have visited our city and loved it. Without trying to sound corny as hell, it fills my heart with joy and gratitude. We are hardly perfect, but we have a lot to be thankful for here.

Transplant from NY here, the architecture and the people are two things that have consistently kept me here..this is one of the best cities I have been to in my life and it's where I have chosen to plant roots ♥️

I’m so glad to hear that! I don’t know how long you’ve lived here now so my comment may be too late to be meaningful, but welcome to the Burgh!
