Virginia Montanez aka PittGirl: That's Church. Amen.

Big announcement on the Post Gazette today: PittGirl outs herself. Her name is Virginia Montanez and she's introduced a new blog, That's Church, which contains the archives of her previous BurghBlog..

This is good news for blogging in Pittsburgh. One, because she's a blogger who caught and posted the Burgh Vibe. Two, because somebody re-opened their blog and in made the front page of Dead Man Walking (aka the Post-Gazette).

She's risking it all (her job, not her life/family) to come out from anonymity. I admire that. If her job or the City or the Boy Mayor Luke give her any grief, I hope she summons Legions of Pigeons, blog-fans, and G-20 anarchists upon them.
