[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cons - My sister and brother-in-law live there. Winter. It can be very insular. It can take decades to be accepted as a non-foreign interloper. People aren't mean to you, you just aren't accepted. State stores. You don't have a prayer at getting a decent bottle of wine. A lot of tech is there. CMU is there and produces a lot of very smart CS and math types who stay. Careful, though, that sector is cooling rapidly in Pittsburgh and some of the shops are closing down and consolidating operations elsewhere (Silicon Valley and Raleigh).[/quote] State stores sell the same liquor as private liquor stores. As transplants from the DC burbs we have found the community to be very welcoming, especially for families w kids. Tech isn't going anywhere - in addition to CMU and the other universities, Google, Amazon, Uber and Netflix all have a presence here and their investment is ongoing. [/quote]
