Yesterday I was at a nearby farmer’s market walking around wearing one of my many Pittsburgh shirts, this one was a Pittsburgh Penguins shirt, and as we walked from vendor to vendor I heard the usual comments.
“Eww the Penguins.” - Some stupid Capitals fan.
“Penguins? Aren’t you in the wrong state?!” - A stupid Flyers fan.
Then it came...
“Hey let’s go Pens!” - A Pittsburgher who moved to Maryland just two years ago.
“Hey, a Pittsburgh fan!”
The gentleman who made the last comment didn’t just say it in passing, he stopped and was genuinely interested in me, and my family.
