Oh, c'mon anny. Pittsburgh and Philly are okay. I always enjoyed visiting those cities.
But economically speaking, Pittsburgh faced the same thing Cleveland did. So it's not surprising.
Rob, visiting and LIVING there are two different thangs.
Corrupt local pols. Dumb citizenry. Crappy weather. *Sigh* I did ten years of hard time in PA. Sucky roads that under a 500 year plan to get them repaved, etc.
Pittsburgh and Philly have fantastic museums and restaurants, however.
