And during rthe EFO set, Cam the banjo player and Shannon the fiddle player (looking very fresh-off-the-cover-of-Vogue-esque) came out for one rather extended jam.

Are you suposed to use turn signals in this city or not You're supposed to use turn signals everywhere. But I'd say that problem isn't limited to just Pittsburgh. The thing that seems to baffle a lot of people is the "Pittsburgh Left," where if you're the oncoming traffic, you let the first person in line on the other side make their left turn when the light turns green (if you're first in line on your side). The problem with it is that tons of people expect that you'll automatically let them go, and if you don't, there's a chance you'll hit them if they're not paying attention.
