The end of an era.
If you're anything like me, you already know this.  However, for those of you who don't... The Burgh Blog is no more.  I am sad.  :(

Also sad! When did this happen? I checked yesterday afternoon and things were fine. Ragging on LaMont Jones as usual.

This morning. I read the comments on the Dockers post last night around 11, and today at 9, there was the goodbye letter.

Did someone out her? I don't usually read the comments.

No one had outed her by the time I read the comments, but from what she wrote this morning, someone must've. I don't understand why people just can't leave a good thing alone.

I'm on Central time and found it at 6:30 this morning. It was like walking into a room and finding someone dead on the floor. It was a shock to see this well-written blog disappear.

Can I ask who PittGirl is/what The Burgh Blog is (or was I guess)? I have never read it, but now that I am reading these comments and the good-bye letter, I am feeling like I was missing out on something pretty cool.

I'm also curious, I never heard of either PittGirl or the blog. I did some googling and read some of the cached entries, but I must be missing something!

I seriously almost cried at work this morning.

To whomever it was that ruined things: I hate you.

I hate them too. To cpdavngr, no, it wasn't anything earth shattering that she wrote about, it was just fun.

I think that she was getting too much press and some jealous person probably outed her. There was a real a-hole quoted somewhere accusing her of hiding behind anonymity to sling insults...it had nothing to do with that, it had to do with her job.

Kick a pigeon and raise a glass of Zima, folks. PG and TBB will be missed. Glad that I was able to enjoy it for a short while.

Very sad. I will truly miss my daily dose of PittGirl.

I just started reading this blog about three days ago and was already hooked. Crap!

What's the big deal?

After hearing all the hype about this girl's blog, I added her to my RSS feeds a few months ago. I honestly never saw what the big deal was. I never found her posts to be that interesting or introspective. It just seemed like it was some girl bitching about Pittsurgh. Were her older posts more interesting? Have I missed something? I'm not hating on her or anything, I just never thought her blog was interesting enough to warrant the amount of internet and media attention it received.

Seconded. It was actively irritating after awhile, so I unsubbed. I don't really see what people liked on that one.

I couldn't deal with the fact that a 11 year old made her layout.

I was so saddened to read that this afternoon. I always liked her posts!
