Today it's a city with a modern light rail line using a downtown subway, and the nation's largest network of busways. In between was a long and winding road with dreams of a modern metro, suburban rail ventures, "mod"ernization of the trolleys, a lengthy flirtation with a "gadgetbahn," and flights of fancy about zipping to the airport. Inside this book: the story of its transit as "Steel City" Pittsburgh became today's "Renaissance City" Pittsburgh.

In the same inimitable, uncensored, and hilarious style that has made him one of the most popular voices on satellite radio, Jason Ellis unleashes his no-holds-barred words of advice on diet and exercise, cultivating your signature look, partying, getting laid, maintaining a relationship—and more! Maybe—like Jason Ellis—you want to have sex with multiple partners and then talk about it on the radio while wearing cheetah pants . . . Or maybe you have some goals of your own. Whatever the case may be, Jason believes it's all about getting off your ass and maximizing the opportunities that life has to offer. It's about remembering that you are alive, right now, and that won't always be the case. So do something. Anything. Enjoy the ride. Go outside and get naked. Jason can tell you how to handle every situation life throws at you and play it like a champ: how to look, how to act, how to pick up a stripper—you name it. But that's just for starters. Jason believes that to get what you really want out of life, you have to have confidence. And true confidence is something you have to earn, by deciding what you want from life and then pursuing your passion until you make your dreams a reality. This book will show you how to develop the positive attitude that will allow you to truly make things happen.
