Rich W. summarizes a clip from KDKA that characterized Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon as "Pittsburgh's Rodeo Drive." Ouch! I suspect that a lot of people in Mt. Lebanon will disagree with me on this, but that label hurts. First of all, it isn't accurate. I've walked and driven the real Rodeo Drive. I know the real Rodeo Drive. Washington Road, you're no Rodeo Drive! Second and more important, the real Rodeo Drive is the heart of an insufferably self-important upper crust community.
Wait a minute . . . .

If I was going to carelessly compare a local shopping district with Rodeo Drive, to which I've never been, I'd probably pick Walnut Street in Shadyside. I mean, would you find a place like C.C.'s (I assume it's still open) on Rodeo Drive?
C.C.'s is still open, certainly. And Walnut Street, too, is no Rodeo Drive!
Sure, there are a couple of upscale stores, but not that many. Heck, I still shop on Washington Rd. pretty regularly!
Mike, I have a friend who lives a couple of blocks from Rodeo Drive.
She's super down to earth and can't afford to shop on Rodeo Drive!
