that confused me as well for a moment.
i always forget how close pittsburgh is to lake erie (just over 100 miles away from the lakeshore at ashtabula).
pittsburgh is actually closer to a great lake than minneapolis or indianapolis are, which doesn't seem like it should be true in my mind's map, but there it is.
it's probably because pittsburgh feels so culturally distinct, tucked up in the appalachians as it is.
