Just another one of the many reasons I love Pittsburgh.

I recently went on a bit of a road trip to see a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game. We drove three hours there, watched the game, and then drove the three hours home. It was more than worth the drive (and not just because we won). Here's why:

The Penguins currently play in the NHL's oldest arena. They have been trying to get a new arena for years, with no luck. This year several cities have made unbelievable offers to the team. The owners held out though, and today they finally reached a deal. Even though the money might not be as good, the Penguins will stay in Pittsburgh.

So it's a nice day to be from Pittsburgh. Capitalism's got a bit of a soul after all.

Capitalism may have gained a little soul, but it's only making up for the soul it lost when the Civic Arena was renamed the Mellon Arena. In this respect, capitalism is back to even.
