[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lived in Pittsburgh 2004-2009 and met my husband there. I have a soft spot in my heart for Pittsburgh. It’s cheap and quirky, and it’s gotten much more “conventionally hip” in recent years. That said, I moved for a reason. Public transit is terrible, doesn’t have all the amenities of a bigger city, [b]does not have an east coast feel. [/b]

Sure there are non-white people associated with CMU, but Pittsburgh is still pretty freaking white.  I remember reading soon after I moved away that the Pittsburgh metro area is the whitest large metro area in the country. The city is obviously going to be less white than the burbs, but still.

Weather wise, it’s consistently about 10 degrees cooler there than here. An extra month of winter. The sky is gray all the time. You always need to bring an umbrella. In the winter it is constantly snowing a small amount. Back when I lived there the city was broke and no one took care of the roads, but not sure if that is still the case.

That is probably because it is not on the east coast.[/quote]
