Pittsburgh is better. And my lad is there so you'll have a local guide.I’d like to visit Philly, looks like a really interesting town, might be nice to have a local for some guidance. I have a friend here who grew up in Philly (Center Town, I think) she says she got mugged on her way to school so many times that her Father started walking her to school. Then they both got mugged :)

I've probably said this to you before, but Pittsburgh is IMO hands down the most underrated city in America. The winters are tough, but the rest of the year it's a lovely place to be. Nice people, great sports, lots to do downtown, very green. Agree on Philly -- my wife is from there. Notice how she moved to California with me 30 years ago . . . :)Pittsburgh is better.

IMO Vegas is far and away the most overrated, followed by Miami, but I understand why others love them -- I just dislike them both.

No it isn't. Saying Sheffield is better than Manchester would be like saying Baltimore or Richmond is better than Philadelphia. Pittsburgh isn't the equivalent to Sheffield.That's like saying Sheffield is better than Manchester.

Aren't they both steel towns?No it isn't. Saying Sheffield is better than Manchester would be like saying Baltimore or Richmond is better than Philadelphia. Pittsburgh isn't the equivalent to Sheffield.

That's why I equated the two. Actually, Pittsburgh has cleaned itself up remarkably since the US steel industry ate itself. When I played soccer in college, we played U of Pittsburgh out there twice, it honestly was a struggle to breathe during the match the air was so dirty. Today, it has repositioned itself as a financial center and a home to many corporations.Aren't they both steel towns?
