Pittsburgh has done an amazing job of reinventing itself in the last 40 years! It offers a beautiful down town triangle with many museums and amazing local eateries in the communites that surround the down town area. I think Pittsburgh's biggest hinderance has been thier democratic leadership and not allowing different political views, and their large faith community, to help influence thier vision and future.
I love the city I love in! If you've ever visited Pittsburgh or even met someone from here, you can tell the amount of pride we carry to reside in this powerful city. It is one of the most affordable cities to live in, vast job opportunities, many different commute options. It is a city that truly has everything you need. Not to mention the beauty and originality of the buildings and landscapes. I was born and raised in a suburb of Pittsburgh and I have no desire to move elsewhere.
Pittsburgh is an excellent city with a lot of pride from those that live there. There is so much to do in this city such as: attend sporting games, visit a museum, take a ride on the incline or a boat, and my personal favorite: lots of food! Pittsburgh is also home to the Pittsburgh zoo, Sandcastle water park, Idlewild, and Kennywood. These are some popular tourist attractions filled with fun things to do for the whole family, especially in the summer. One down side of Pittsburgh is the parking. I wish there were more parking garages to help ease the stress of finding somewhere to park in the busy city!
