Pittsburgh, a city that
once entertained itself by working three shifts a day, has taken
on a whole new personality. Set at the confluence of three mighty
rivers and surrounded by lush green hills, Pittsburgh has emerged
as one of America's most distinctive cities. Located within 500
miles of more than half the U.S. and Canadian populations,
Pittsburgh was rated among the top five "Most Liveable"
in all three editions of the "Places Rated Almanac".
Pittsburgh has shed is smoky steel town image to show a city on
the cutting edge of medical research, robotics, high technology,
finance and business. The cultural diversity of our neighborhoods
( with median housing costs at $80,000) coupled with a strong
infrastructure provides an exciting locale to live and play. The
Carnegie Institute and Museum, Science Center, Andy Warhol
Museum, and extensive library system; the Cultural Trust with
world class theater, symphony and ballet; the Pittsburgh Zoo;
National Aviary; three world champion sports teams and many other
cultural, educational, and entertainment institutions throughout
the city add to the terrific quality of life.
