I'd say I'm fairly proud of my city:

 

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the locale I call home, was founded during the Revolutionary War, as a strategic location for several forts, namely Fort Pitt and Fort Duquesne. It made strategic sense due to the meeting of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers. From there, it became a smaller city in terms of size, and always has been. Most people recognize it's nickname "The Steel City," largely due in part to Pittsburgh many years ago being the hub of all steel production not only in the U.S., but also in the world.

 

Pittsburgh has made history numerous times over the years, such as the first public radio station and station broadcast, KDKA 1020 AM (first broadcast August 20, 1920). Jonas Salk created the Polio vaccine in a lab at the University of Pittsburgh in the 1950's. The Pittsburgh Steelers, the city's National Football League franchise, set a record for most Super Bowl Championship victories, with 6 in 2008, overcoming the Arizona Cardinals.

 

Pittsburgh has a very unique landscape. Nestled in the heart of the Appalachian Mountain range, it sits at the point where the 3 previously mentioned rivers meet, and is built upon numerous hills, valleys, mountains, and peaks. Because of the landscape, Pittsburgh employs many bridges in navigation of it. A 2006 study awarded Pittsburgh as having the most bridges in the world at 446, 3 more than second place Venice, Italy. One of the most famous views for any local or traveler to the area is the "entrance" into the city. The "entrance" is the Ft. Pitt Tunnels which burrow below Mt. Washington. Many recognize this view, and are instantly awed and amazed by the city's skyline.

 

 

 

Today, Pittsburgh is a bright and peaceful metropolitan city, ranking 23rd in terms of population. 8 Fortune 500 companies make Pittsburgh home, including U.S. Steel, PNC Financial, PPG Industries, Heinz, Wesco, Mylan, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Consol Energy, as well as hosting headquarters for Alcoa, Kennametal, Google, American Eagle, and Westinghouse. More recently, Pittsburgh has adopted the moniker "Hollywood of the East," after playing host to such movies like The Dark Knight Trilogy, Jack Reacher, She's Out Of My League, Rock Star, Adventureland, Super 8, The Avengers, and many others. Pittsburgh has been called :one of the best cities for foodies" as well as "most liveable city" for several years now.

 

Culture does not lack in the 412 area code either. Numerous restaurants (World Famous Primanti Bros.), museums (The Andy Warhol & Carnegie family of museums), performance venues, shopping, siteseeing, and other opportunities exist around every corner. Take in a ballgame at PNC Park, home to the MLB's Pittsburgh Pirates, or at Heinz Field, home to the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, or even hear legendary broadcaster Mike Lange call a game at the Consol Energy Center, home to the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins. For those fans of college sports, Pittsburgh is home to many NCAA Division I schools, including Pitt, Duquesne, Robert Morris, Carnegie Mellon, Slippery Rock, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and many, many more. Take a tour of the rivers on the Gateway Clipper fleet, and see firsthand everything this city has to offer. Music is alive and well in Pittsburgh as well. Bret Michaels, Christina Aguilera, Mac Miller, and Wiz Khalifa all came from the area, and many other promising artists can be heard playing to their hearts' content at many different venues.

 

I could go on and on, but there is so much to see. The best way to describe it is to see it for yourself. If you ever get the chance to, take a trip to Pittsburgh. You might be surprised by what you all find here.
