pittsburgh: I live in Pittsburgh and its honestly not that great. Nothing special about it nothing suckish either. But everywhere I go I hear references to it, people are filming movies there, even a main setting for movies and TV shows. They even had the G-20 summit here (yes, I know that was a while ago.) Why is it popular?|||I beleive that Pittsburgh is becoming more popular because of so many reasons! The sports teams, the G-20 summit, medical technology, its history, the location, and how the city is becoming greener. No, its not the greatest city in the country, but I beleive that people think this city has potential to be more.|||They were in the super bowl. In a society so centered around pathetic and unimportant glories, that is a big deal. It gave it a lot of focus in the media and media controls society now a days.|||catchy name.
