I think all of these dialects are being lost and becoming the "TV/Movie" way of pronouncing things. IE, most people in Pittsburgh sound like most people in Chicago or Los Angeles (which all sound like the dialect we hear on TV), but you get certain types (especially working class) who have been more isolated (didn't go away to college, etc...) that have very strong dialects.
