Using anymore in the positive
Solution 1:
In its article on Western Pennsylvania English, Wiki the Pedia opines:
"positive" anymore adv. these days; nowadays (Montgomery 1989; McElhinny 1999; Montgomery 1999)
Example: "It seems I always wear these shoes anymore."
Further explanation: While in Standard English anymore must be used as a negative polarity item (NPI), some speakers in Pittsburgh and throughout the Midland area do not have this restriction. When not used as an NPI, anymore means something like "these days."[31]
Geographic Distribution: the Midland (Montgomery 1989).
Origins: Likely Scots-Irish (Montgomery 1999).

So yes, using anymore in a positive sense is a characteristic of Pittsburghese unseen in Standard English, where it is mandatorily a negative polarity item.
