PittGirl Revealed – Say hello to the blogger and her new website

I don’t usually blog this early in the morning, but I stopped by to see if anyone was tweeting about our National Steeler Bar Tour and I stumbled upon something a little more important than Steelers bar in the land of Pittsburgh pop culture. More important that Steelers Bars? Yep. If you have been following the burgh blogosphere this is big – I saw that @JanePitt had new avatar and at 7:05 am she posted a link to a brand new website.

PittGirl aka JanePitt was the anonymous author of popular and hilarious blog – TheBurghBlog for over 3 years. IheartPGH has been a huge fan of JanePitt – I was interviewed by the Trib about her blog coverage of the super bowl.

The website has a new name ThatsChurch.com (don’t worry all of the Burgh Blog Archives are there) and JanePitt is now blogging under her real name Virginia Montanez.

I wasn’t sure what to write about all this but after reading the about page on ThatsChurch I wanted to make sure everyone saw the end paragraph…

I love Pittsburgh. If I could pick it up, wrap my arms around it, kiss it on the forehead and tell it I love it for all its faults, I so would.
