It very much is. Outside rowhouses it's more like Cleveland than say Newark, Nj
Pittsburgh is similar to Cleveland because they two hours apart lmao. It ain't really Midwestern, yall got a narrow view of Midwest...
I went of KC and Indy and Kansas and them shyts don't resemble Pittsburgh in the slightest...
What yall talking about is "Great Lakes culture", which is a recognized multi region subculture of both the Midwest and the Northeast. You could easily google this....its like when cats call Buffalo "Midwest". No, it's not coastal so it (and Pgh and other cities) are
interior Northeast rather than East
Coast...
The Midwest is a large region. Really what cats should be talking about is how Cleveland is in the Mid but has East Coast elements to it, shyt don't feel nothing like Kansas City or Indianapolis or probably a number of full Midwest cities...
Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine from defending Western NY from Midwest accusations for years lol...
