"I live in a "dry" city?"
"Is this a joke?", I ask myself.
Is this possible? It seems legit.
Of all the places I could have moved. I moved from Las Vegas to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Las Vegas. Sin City. Where what happens stays.
And I moved to the borough of Wilkinsburg in the city of Pittsburgh in the state of Pennsylvania.
How can this be a "dry" city? I can cross the street and drink at four or five pubs ON MY WAY to the beer store at the corner. It’s not a “dry” city. It’s a “dry” borough.
“What the heck is a borough?” I grew up in California. We don’t have boroughs.
I thought a “borough” was a nickname for a part of town like, “Polish hill” or “Chinatown”.
Not so….poor niave, Christian.
A borough can be many things to many countries or areas. My borough, Wilkinsburg, has it’s own government and laws which in this case includes a restriction against bars.
When you cross the street from my house you are in the city of Pittsburgh.
I reside in the borough of Wilkinsburg by a few feet.
Wilkinsburg has been alcohol free since 1871 when it separated from Pittsburgh to maintain religious integrity. It took the name, “The Holy City” and declared that no bars would be allowed within borough limits.
So let me get this straight:
My name is Christian. I live in “The Holy City”.
My house number is equivalent to “Satan” in Hebrew Numerology.
A perfect balance of light and dark. Yin and Yang. City and borough.

Maybe you live in a dry borough too and we can be booze free borough buddies.

Hoping this ban will be lifted someday soon, and more businesses will come in. It will help with home values!
