lived there for 3 years after I left Penn State. ... left Pgh for sunny Southern California about 15 years ago! (I do miss the Primanti sandwiches though -- can't get that kind of food in CA)
I was born & raised in Pittsburgh, now call Houston home. How great is was to be a Steelers fan in the 70's!!!
The PA state tax levels with local income AND high property taxes are an efficient job killing machine. Pgh is a good place to leave and you'll find that many have done so.
