Claiming the good in your town

Bob Greene says he's not fighting culture war because of things we hate but for things we love that we want to see preserved.

Greene: "A place belongs to whoever claims it hardest,” the obsessive compulsive writer Joan Didion wrote. So I’m claiming Pittsburgh , in a way, like the church ladies have—for the good. I claim Pittsburgh for the many good memories it holds. I'm claiming it for my ancestors who died here, and for my many nieces and nephews.
