That is so funny! Not sure what the Pitts have in terms of anything cultural? Not a place I would go to visit special for a vacation. LOL Grunge isn't my favorite either. It is a cultural phenom. But we have the Experience Music Project.

But didn't you like Louie, Louie? Or Jimmie Hendrix either?
But of course...we have the 12th man. (And don't go saying, we stole it from A&M or whoever.).
Culture in Pittsburgh? Hmmm.....How about the Andy Warhol Museum? It's all the rage with the artsy-fartsy types here, so I reckon it must be rich in culture. Or, we have the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History. That just has to be culture rich because it actually has 'art' as part of its' name. Of course the cream of the crop has to be the Matress Factory Art Museum (no I didn't make it up) http://www.mattress.org/
We're so full of culture here, we even have a whole website dedicated to it. http://www.culturalguide.com/
As far as being a vacation spot is concerned, that's just another big benifit to living here. Most folks have the same attitude about the 'Burgh as a vacation spot. That's the beauty of it. Come here in the spring (ahh springtime in Pittsburgh is wonderful) when the college kids are away on spring break and you have the whole place pretty much to yourself. Even better, if you visit this year, you'll get the added bonus of actually getting to visit the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Re:"Louie, Louie" - thumbs up. Jimi Hendrix - some good, some ehh.
It's good that you have the 12th man, but if I were yunz, I'd be on the phone muy pronto trying to get ahold of the 13-27th men. Yunz are gonna need all the help yunz can get! ;-)
