The LA Times and CNN emphasize the city’s transition from gritty and industrial to trendy and high-tech. But since no outsider could truly capture Pittsburgh’s greatness, I feel obligated to share some of the more pertinent facts about my birthplace.

It’s the second most beautiful place in America!

It has the best baseball stadium!

Just one small city outside Pittsburgh is the birthplace of Arnold Palmer, Rolling Rock, the banana split, professional football, and my father, and is the childhood home of Mr. Rogers!

Thirteen out of 43 Super Bowls have been won by either the Pittsburgh Steelers or a starting quarterback from Western PA!

It is the birthplace of both the AFL and the CIO!

And, perhaps more important than the 6 Super Bowls, 5 World Series, and 3 Stanley Cups, during World War II the Pittsburgh area produced more steel than Germany and Japan combined, thus saving the free world from fascism!
