Built by hard-bitten immigrants who were drawn to her steel
mills, the city of Pittsburgh is now sitting back on its laurels
and offering a more leisurely and aesthetically pleasing lifestyle
to residents and visitors alike. Once dubbed 'the Smoky City',
Pittsburgh's mills have closed down and the emphasis now is on
making the most of the city's natural beauty. Pittsburgh is finally
doing justice to its situation, lying between the Ohio, Allegheny
and Monongahela Rivers with the Allegheny Mountains in the
background. No wonder the city and environs now boasts the largest
concentration of pleasure boats in America, while its thriving
ethnic neighbourhoods surround a clean, friendly metropolitan
centre filled with trees, shops, restaurants, museums, galleries
and theatres. Attractions abound in this scenic city from the
world's fastest continuous track roller-coaster to the largest
single-artist museum in the United States; and from an eerie Gothic
mansion to free summer concerts in a beautiful park.
