Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - "Small is the new big!"

From small plates to small cars, it's a small world after all

With downsizing on the upswing, it's the little things in life that seem to have grown in value. In this post-ostentatious society, less is more. Size does matter, but not the way you might think.

. . . . . On the road, BMW's Mini is moving over for Smart Cars, two-seater, capsule-like vehicles that can be parked practically anywhere . . .

That's - Steelers linebacker James Harrison drives by Hines Ward in his Smart car after stopping in front of Rooney Hall at St. Vincent College Latrobe on the first day of training camp in July.

(We're thinking "7" here in Steeler Country!)

I really like the smaller . . .

I really like the smaller wardrobe bit! I mean all women should have a smaller wardrobe, maybe even mini-sized . . .
Ahhh - wait - are you talking about less "stuff" or smaller clothes?
Oh never mind . . .
Where was I -- at?
