"It's tangible, the misery and hopelessness and the bleakness" Imagining the end of the world is not easy, especially if you're not going to create one with a computer. But director John Hillcoat and filmmakers of The Road believe they discovered it in Pittsburgh.→[More:] Hah, I'm guessing that the local tourism board isn't going to go use quotes from this article in their flyers. "Pittsburgh - The World Ends Here First."

I immediately forwarded this to my husband, a proud Pittsburgh native, and rabid Cormac McCarthy fan.

Night of the Living Dead, Silence of the Lambs, surely some kind of cannibal zombie tourism could be developed.

I list Pittsburgh as one of the prettier citys anywhere. I love when I come from the airport and exit the tunnel and see the city spread out along the rivers with all thier industrial/pretty bridges.
