Pittsburgh is the most underrated city in America. It just needs to produce a Bill Gates or Paul Allen to "come home" and provide jobs to attract young people.

We have had a lot of famous people come from here. Unfortunatly, the last one to create a lot of jobs here was Andrew Carnegie. That was a long time ago (quoting 13 year old daughter reading over my shoulder.)

Ahhh, if only. If only.

If someone like him is coming, it'd better be soon. Allegheny County's ferkakte tax rates probably scare them off.

It needs to quit chasing businesses out of town! We used to be #4 in the country for corporate headquarters.
