My favorite football team plays here, I have a good amount of family that lives there as well. It's a growing city with potential but I have to give it a 6....7 if I want to be biased but I'm not gonna do that lol.

Pittsburgh is great when the steelers are playing and when the college students are in town but once they are gone it is kind of dead.

Nice bars, good but not great food (shout out to the O's though), and a great sports city

The burgh is a 4, just under alright. Reasonable restaurants / food, but just to small a feel and lots too suburban feeling.

Lived there for like a year in 2010-2011

7/10. Underrated city, a few large Black communities over there. White people are typical working class types for the most part, a little bigoted but are generally ok. Underrated architecture and some of the the views on the water are actually really nice. My wife has some family out there. Worth visiting at least once. Seems like a city on the rise.

Most depressing city that I’ve ever had the displeasure of riding and stopping through. Like the city was perpetually caught under a grey cloud. Everything is grey.

Worse than Buffalo?

My hometown. Piffsburgh.
I grew up in the suburbs. I had a lovely child hood. All of my cousins were in the hood. Wilkinsburg and Homewood so I grew to know those areas fairly well too.
When I was younger the hoods were working class black people.... as crack took hold it turned to shyt


Has yet to recover.

Piffsburgh was hit bad also economically for a while after the steel mills closed. But got a resurgence with medical and technical jobs.

i love my hometown but had zero issues moving south. And have no intention of moving back even tho most of my fam are still there.

Still rock with my Piffsburgh sports teams and follow them closely.

I personally never had any real issues with police and outright racism. But I grew up sheltered and know that I was lucky. It’s not all sweet.

Last time I was in Buffalo, I was about 6yrs old- I don’t remember too much about it.

I remember driving through Pittsburgh when I was a trucker and thinking it looked mad picturesque (hilly, several bridges, a river, nice architecture) and not the rust belt shythole I imagined. I always wanted to go back and visit. The winters seem to be rough though, I don't think I could live there.
