Hip-burgh

A recent CNN.com Travel article called Pittsburgh "cutting-edge", which would probably cause most people to scratch their heads, especially those living there. However, I was there for roughly five years and had a blast. It's easy to get involved in the growing art + design scene, the people are down-to-earth, urban redevelopment is booming, cost of living is way low, and yinz can't beat the accents (what accent?). And it's nice to see them give a nod to Kelly's Bar. This picture shows the scene from Mt. Washington that was rated the second-most beautiful view in America. I think I can see someone breaking into my car from here...
