Oh what a great honor. Trump is opening his first PA

[livetohike]

office in my hometown of Monroeville. well, it was the home of "Night of the Living Dead". So that fits

[rug]

1. Does he expect to be stronger in western PA?

[livetohike]

2. There's a pretty large contingent of tea party types.

I guess he thinks this is his demographic - blue collar, white, etc. The eastern suburbs of Pgh have changed since I was a kid growing up in the 50's and 60's. I think everyone I knew was a Democratic family back then. My Dad was active in the local party and had street lists. I used to help him distribute info. Things have changed since then.

3. He might be trying to stave off Kasich who was borm around there.

I;m in NE PA, Pike County. He looks to be the favorite among republicans here.

4. Good point. Yes, Kasich is a local. Grew up about one mile west

of Pgh in McKees Rocks. He's been away a long time, but that might get him some votes as a native son.

5. I need to call my cousin.......

he lives in Monroeville. Just talked to him on Monday, he hates Trump, with a passion.

9. Maybe we can get a protest going. I am down there once a

week.

[mrmpa]

10. I haven't had a good protest in years........

I'm up for it. Let's see when & where it will be. I can't think of any large public hall in Monroeville. There is the gym at Gateway High School, also the Boyce Campus of CCAC (community college of Allegheny County, where else I don't know.

[livetohike]

11. Maybe Boyce Park, or one of the boro parks. Just a place to

get organized, make some signs and go. I live two hours away, but my Mom is still in the family home there.

6. Ohmy gosh, livetohike.

Where?

[livetohike]

7. Not sure. My Mom still lives in the family home. I am down there once

a week, so I'll find out . Would be fun to do some protesting there.

[blue neen]

8. Yes, it would!

[malthaussen]

12. Maybe John Fetterman should welcome him to the area.:)

I know Braddock is a little way off, but maybe Mr Fetterman would like to, um, show the Trump boys around.

13. No, Braddock is pretty close........

to Monroeville. I would say 20 minutes, maybe 25. I'm about 40, over near Mt. Lebanon.

[livetohike]

14. Braddock is pretty close to Monroeville. Less

than 10 miles. I think that would be a great idea .

15. John Fetterman showing Trump around...

'twould be epic.

16. Update: just saw on the morning news that Trump's office

is in the Jonnet building in Monroeville ( corner of Route 22 and Center Road). Will be open at 10:00 a.m. This morning. I am 2 hours drive away and it's snowing with 7" of snow already on the ground.

If anyone is closer, stop in and say hello . I won't be down there until this Friday.
