I love that Derrick.   Fifteen years ago ... maybe even longer ... My  
sisty ugler (her term) told me she wanted to take me out to this  
wonderful restaurant she knew in Shadyside.  When we got there I had  
to ask, "If this is Shadyside, how come I'm looking up at the steeple  
of East Liberty Presbyterian Church?"   That long ago no body in the  
restaurant business wanted to admit that they were actually in East  
Liberty.    And Rich Allman's son is in the Presbyterian seminiary in  
Pittsburgh and he lives in what I used to call East Liberty but he  
calls it Highland Park.

Why just pick on Pittsburgh.   That's not fair is it.   Here in  
Lancaster we used to have streetcar routes and later bus lines that  
were identified by the political wards they served: 7th Ward (and  
later the Duke St. - 7th Ward bus), 6th Ward (and later the 6th Ward  
- Laurel bus), and the 8th Ward - McCaskey bus.    Well, we no longer  
have a 7th Ward bus.   We still have a bus that goes to through the  
7th Ward but now its called "Southeast Lancaster" because everybody  
knows "The Ward" is such a horrible place.

It's just like a politician changing the name of a public works  
program every time the public figures out how corrupt the scheme is  
but the program itself never changes.   CETA by any other name is  
still CETA.
