I understand that the health care system in Pittsburgh is very good, maybe better than the DC area. My brother in law moved there just before the covid pandemic and he's happy with it. He previously lived in a Maryland suburb of DC and was born and raised here. He was tired of the suburban life and wanted to live in a city with good health care, was walkable, had big city availability of arts and culture (though I bet DC has a better arts and culture scene). He likes the ethnic neighborhoods and the blue collar vibe. It's more affordable than DC and Maryland. He's moved a couple of times already because gentrification has resulted in raising his rent. My wife and I have visited twice to catch baseball games at the wonderful MLB stadium. We were surprised that there's not much of a nightlife or restaurants in that downtown area. There was a fun foodie scene in an area of town called The Strip -- an area that used to be the warehouse district for meat and produce but has gentrified over the years and is now the hot spot of the foodie scene. I can't speak to the music scene. My brother in law mostly likes roots music -- blues, old country, rockabilly, ethnic music like Irish and Ukrainian. I don't believe he's very knowledgeable about jazz. Hope this helps!

Remembered a name to go with the face:  Doc Cheatham.

Oh that's terrible news. I play Solstice frequently, it's such a perfect record for late autumn, leading into winter when the weather starts to cool off.
