Pittsburgh is the most beautiful city in the U.S. Yeah, Seattle has the mountains, San Francisco the bay, Chicago the architecture and New York is, well New York. But none has the eastern european feel that Pittsburgh has.

Fun! I had no idea Pittsburgh was so beautiful. In another life, I could have been a rail car fanatic.

Don't feel bad. I lived there for seven years and never went on it.

Nice video! I'm sure there were wild turkeys up there too - They're everywhere in Pittsburgh! Although, they do have an unfortunate habit of gliding off Mt. Washington when it's foggy and slamming into the skyscrapers -- plunging to their deaths below! lol :( lol
