Pittsburgh is my favourite city. I have never been there, but I would love to go sometime in the future. I just admire the working class roots of this amazing city; it reminds me of Sheffield England, where I am from. Oh and I absolutely love all the Pittsburgh teams too Go Steelers, Pens, and all the Pitt teams :).
Pittsburgh truly is a beacon of Light to the world...
Oi! double Oi! let me grab a buggy and shop at gint aigel en'at! why ain't you joinin? Anyone wanta Iron city beer? Rolling Rock, from the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe!
Went to Wheeling College in the '70's and headed to Pittsburgh every so often for a concert at the Syrian (sp?) Mosque where I saw all the big named groups like the DEAD, the ALLMAN BROTHERS and the rest I cannot remember to name. Saw the Redskins (I am a native Washingtonian) play the Steelers so got a chance to see the Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris do their acrobats on Monday Night Football! What a city---for what I can remember!
One other thing that is incorrect is about Islays and the Klondike bar. Islays originated in Mansfield, Ohio. It was started by William Islay who was from Monroe County, Ohio.

@dloc231 - you mean 'he should have said.' @5:21, he clearly said "the Steelers became the first NFL team to win 4 Superbowls." We all know they are now the first NFL team to win 6 Superbowls which should have actually been 7 Superbowls if the better team had won in 1995. The "Boys" didn't deserve that one and I'm a Cowboys fan. Last year, the better team one one for Greenbay, but I'm sure the Steelers will win #7 before any other team wins 5 superbowls...
Well at least one thing is incorrect. The Pittsburgh Pirates did not field an all African American team like he said. The first all black lineup, yes. Roberto Clemente was from Puerto Rico, Manny Sanguillen, Panama, and Jackie Hernandez was Cuban. If Jackie Hernandez had skin color like Rickie Ricardo or other light skinned Cubans I wonder if this would have been such a big deal.
And naming a bridge in Pittsburgh after Rachael Carson is a damn shame on this city. She was a freak!
Pound for pound, ounce for ounce probably the greatest and most productive city and metro area in US history. The trouble is all that succes and glory have not helped the hundreds of thousands of Pittsburghers who have been forced to leave in the last half century in order to make a living. Did it ever occur to football fans why the Steelers never seem to have an away game?
@8House Exactly. But when there are many Steelers fans in the stands across the country they always say Steelers fans travel so well. That's B.S.; most of them are transplants not travelers. Why are the media broadcasters so un-informed? Or is it because they do not want to tell the facts that people had to move because the unions killed many of the jobs since companies had to leave due to high taxes and union wages, benefits, etc.
What a great history. I don't live anywhere near Pittsburgh yet I am very impressed. I especially enjoyed its history of manufacturing and technology. The country needs to take a lesson from this story and not abandon these activities to other countries. Congratulations, Pittsburgh
You don't understand us, drjones. We do not "only care about the Steelers". We, the people who profess to be a Pittsburgher, are involved in many vocations, day in and day out. We do great things, that is true, and being unpretentious people, we do not consider our daily work greater than anyone else's. But when you are engrossed in an occupation, you need something else to focus on to relax and enjoy. So we come together to cheer for the GREATEST TEAM IN THE UNITED STATES. GO, STEELERS!

Good stuff.... however, the Big Mac was invented in UNIONTOWN (Fayette County), not Pittsburgh.
And although I'm not sure, I thought the Banana Split was invented in Latrobe (Westmoreland County).
I'm proud of Pittsburgh, but c'mon.... let's give credit where credit's due (and not take credit when it isn't)
