Todd: OK, and where are you from Alex?

Alex: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Todd: OK, what's Pittsburgh like?

Alex: Pittsburgh is, let's see, it is very quiet. It's medium size, so there's not a lot of people but enough to make it fun but you know, it's very quiet.

Todd: OK, what's the best thing about Pittsburg?

Alex: Ooh, the best thing? I'd have to say, Oakland! Oakland is a part of Pittsburgh. It's where Pittsburgh University main campus is. And there's lots of stuff to do. Lots of college kids around. It's fun to hang out.

Todd: OK, did you go to the University of Pittsburg?

Alex: No sir. I go to Penn State.

Todd: Oh, Penn State!

Alex: Yeah!

Todd: OK, are they a rival universities?

Alex: Very much.

Todd: OK, what's the worst thing about Pittsburgh?

Alex: Oh, well the fact that it's kind of quiet sometimes, makes it, kind of a bit boring. I mean, sometimes there is not a lot of things to do. But other than that it's OK.

Todd: What's the weather like?

Alex: Ooh, it depends really. It gets really cold in winter and really hot in the summer, so it's kind of mixed.
