What a beautiful city. The architecture there is awesome. Tell us about housing prices. I hear living downtown is dirt cheap. I know someone who packed up and left Seattle and bought 2 places in Pittsburgh.

Fantastic. Pittsburgh has to be one of the most attractive cities in the US. It always looks like fun, especially around the river. Awesome landscape, the hills, the rivers, awesome skyline. The place seems comfy.

This guy also designed the Waco Suspension Bridge which was built in 1870. The first and only major suspension bridge in Texas even today.

"That guy" also designed the Brooklyn Bridge. He's pretty darn famous.

Then it became as important not to look as to look, I feared I would be lost in rush of bronze motes."
