I live east of Pittsburgh - in Indiana County. What’s nice about Pittsburgh, is that you don’t have to go far out of the city to find farms and small communities.
This is true...many are quite close in fact. I sometimes wish I could appreciate the city more than I do. But one very bad car trip driving in that city was eough for me. Providence RI is a cake walk by comparrison, and it’s known for it’s insane drivers and difficulty navigating thru. Pittsburgh is beyond insane for driving!
