I have to travel to this city for work and no amount of GPS will help you find your way around.
That's our way of keeping people like you out. ;)
Seriously, once you figure out the terrain, it's pretty easy to get around. But you're right, GPS is not going to help you much.

The down side of this is more NY liberal types will keep moving in thinking we should be doing things the NY way.
That’s ok, we’ll just dump em in the river anat.

I'm talking about the big fountain at Point Park, which is the visual center of the cityscape.
Here's a close-up
Here is a wide shot
I like to refer to it as the "PENIS OF PITTSBURGH." LOL. We're definitely a male city.

The answer is to live here in Southern New Hampshire - you still have easy access to Boston and environs, but without the crime, taxes, corruption or restrictive gun laws.

Are you still upset about Ulfie taking out Cam Neely?
To: andy58-in-nh
Indeed. Any state which does not allow me to protect myself is not a state in which I would ever live.

Pittsburgh would be one of the rare cities to have two major sports champions at the same time if they could pull off Game 7. Boston did it last with the Sox/Patriots a few years back. And I think one year the Steelers/Pirates were also concurrent champs.

What city are you talking about? Pittsburgh may be many things, but overpopulated is not one of them.
And while three lefts will not make a right in this kind of terrain, the locals will be more than happy to give you good directions.
We even sometimes use landmarks that still exist. (”Hang a right where the Gee Bees used to be.”)

Cheap real estate, relatively low crime (lots of senior, few gangbangers outside of parts of Oakland), and friendly people.

(Add in the 74 and 75 Super Bowls and the 76 Pitt national championship and we were the "City of Champions")

Naw, I’ve been too busy.. I gotta redd up da hawse a’nat. There’s no doubt da view from up air on mount worshington is perty.

Downtown Pittsburgh is a liberal utopia. It is almost entirely composed of lawyers, government and non profits.
I used to commute through "Dahntahn" Pittsburgh on my way to clients. Not meaning any disrespect, but I learned all I needed to know about the occupational distribution by the amount of traffic inbound on the MLK holiday.
Meanwhile, out in the 'burbs and industrial parks, WORK continued as normal.
