Have you ever stopped to think about why there are so many articles piling praise on
Pittsburgh?
It’s probably because everyone loves a good comeback story. Like the story of how a city pushed to the brink of economic collapse when the entire steel industry all but disappeared, managed to stave off the fate of other Rust Belt cities and completely reinvents itself. (We love that one!)
So if you dig a little deeper, past the best sandwich and pizza joint posts, you’ll see that Pittsburgh comeback is the real story. And it’s been playing out in headlines that showcase a resurgence worth noticing, and bragging about.
