Pittsburgh is at the very fringe edge of the so-called "Rust Belt" (I hate that word, btw -- it's quite a pejorative, much like "San Fran"). http://www.newgeog

  ^ Not sure why this got downvoted. I'm pretty sure that if you told someone who lived in a rural area that they lived "out in the boonies" or that they were "rednecks," they would also take offense. Please take some perspective: People on here are literally calling my beloved hometown and place of birth a "Rust Belt." Even though I'm in Silicon Valley now, the vast majority of my friends and family still live back home.
