Pittsburgh is great. Been here on and off most of my life.
The music scene is "eh" when it comes to bands/ groups etc that you
want to see. Art is great here. Homeless population? man we got nothing on most other cities. Not that many young people- most come here for school as we have like 4 major universities every 2 miles. Fat people- yes. There is a lot of perogie and hoagie eating happening here...BUT you don't have to look that hard for good eats. That's one thing about PGH that I love the food and quality of is really good, you just need to search.We are a city in the valley forest.
We drink alot
lots of cool bridges and older architecture
dancing flavorful
great city to get in shape if you bike- lots of hills and parks
if your an urban explorer, you will have fun here- lots of train tunnels, river banks to drink at, abandoned steel mills (not so many these days tho)
pretty much anyone you talk to that is a native always sounds like they are a comedian due to our hilarious accent
(I really don't have one as I am told)Pittsburgh has really done a great job of housecleaning, the city is far cleaner from when I moved here in 97
We finally have a Whole Foods AND a Trader Joes
vegan friendly, bigtime
8 dudes to every lady (and men wonder why women here have attitudes)
sandwiches with french fries and cole slaw ON THEM
The busway
A building downtown that looks like the headquarters of an evil genius (Inspector Gadget was filmed there lol)
more and more movies are being shot here-just last friday there was
a caravan of Dreamworks trucks all over Butler street in LawrencevilleYou can buy a house for 100K that has more than 2 floors and two bathrooms and kickass woodwork
So there's a mix of some pros and a few cons.
I didn't even have to touch how kickass our sports are either
