Pittsburgh and Southwestern Pennsylvania

Carnegie, Frick, Heinz, Mellon, and others built Pittsburgh as an industrial center. Comedians like Groucho Marx loved to poke fun at it in the past. Today, the legacy these people left behind is an attractive and livable area blessed with art, architecture, and cultural and educational gems. Nature has provided outdoor activities in the nearby canyons, hills, and whitewater rapids.
