I was in the Air Force for 22 years... Absolutely NOTHING compares to driving down the parkway and coming through the Fort Pitt tunnel, after you have been away from your home and family for so long. Outstanding!

No other place represents all America has been, where it started, where it has come and where it it is going. Its people came from around the world to build this city and give it a character, a personality and humanity like no other. Pittsburgh's people are its life -- its ongoing life. Many of its people have now departed to all parts of the world again. They haven't left the city, its character or its values; they've taken it all with them to share. Pittsburgh is the center of the universe.

I went to college in Florida with quite a few people from Pittsburgh. Many Pitt folks in Florida, very down to earth people. I sold my late parents home to a lovely couple from Pittsburgh. I always wanted to go there because everyone I have ever met from there has been gracious & regular folk. Some say many with Season tickets to the Steelers also have season ticket to the symphony. That speaks volumes. God bless Pittsburgh, hope to visit some day soon.

Very nice tribute.Thank you for taking the time to compile it. I can remember 1964 on the 4th of July I was on a barge off the point with my father preparing to help fire the fireworks show. It was my 1st show and I wasn't aloud to fire but I was cleaning the mortors as the casings would stay in the mortors and they had to be pulled out with a tool. Oh yea, I'm from Pittsburgh and working to get back after 32 years away. In the early through mid 70's we fired the show at Kennywood. GO STEELERS

It was on the verge of becoming another Detroit, but Pittsburgh is full of smart people, rich people, and determined people. The economic base was changed from mostly steel, to technology, research, finance, health care, education and some steel & other industry. The people loved their city so much that they REFUSED to let it fail. Add to that the deep pocketed wealthy class, Mellon, Scaif, Heinz, Carnegies, et al who sustained the city through the bad times.

I am a steelers fan born and raised and when I got a bit older I started following the bucs and the Penguins. Only took me so long because I didn't like watching hockey when I Was younger. The guy I met that I love so much is from a Pittsburgh family haha it's perfect. Now were planning on moving out to Pitt. Even though I wasn't born there. .

We were heavily involved in rhythm and blues, and I'm talking about the late fifties and early sixties, and I mean second and third generation ethnics of all stripes whose fathers and grandfathers worked in the steel mils. Nevertheless, the message conveyed by this brief video does capture the spirit of Pittsburgh and its environs.

It involved an ex-wife, her lying sack of manure mother, that mother's con artist boyfriend, an ungrateful ex brother-in-law, and not being able to see my grandfather for what was his last Christmas. The one good thing to come out of it was a good friendship with my former father-in-law. He and my former sister-in-law warned me about my now ex-wife, and after I met the right woman who I am happily married to today, my former father-in-law made a special trip to visit me and congratulate me.

As of October 2009, the unemployment rate in the Pittsburgh MSA has been below the national rate since December 2006. That's 35 straight months. In September it crept up to 8.1%, but by October the national rate had passed 10%. Furthermore, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie-Mellon University collaborated on a job fair in May, in which close to 25,000 local jobs had openings. By the way, the steel mills all shut down in the 1980's. It's damn near 2010 now. Get with the times.
