Yup, lived in Pittsburgh my whole life, albeit all over the area. I like it, it's a nice place to live. Winters are cold but tolerable. We also have a lot of overcast, rainy days. But on the flip...

I'd say mostly good. We're the second-oldest state in the nation behind Florida, which is part of it. But they also fly athletes and the like to our institutions here sometimes, so it's as much...
