This is an outrage! Survey says Pittsburgh is second most beautiful place in the USA!

Pittsburgh

JK. I have never been there, but I have always imagined it as some dirty steel working city.

Actually I have been to the airport. Nice airport

We know that hallucinagens are still available, if one takes the list as evidence.

That's a fine city, Shi.

[SlowwHand]

Yes, fine.

Compared to Philadelphia.

[Japher]

OK, and I am sure they like Bakersfield too.

[SlowwHand]

Bakersfield. Undoubtably. And Sweetwater, Texas.

I think my name pretty much says it all...

The reason the skyline of Pittsburgh looks good is that it is framed by the rivers, so you get this nice triangle of skyscrappers.

Now, as a conceited NewYorker, here are some nice pics from the Empire Sate Building:

looking northeast


looking east, towards queens (the solitary building is queens only skyscrapper.



looking south, towards were the WTC once stood



and looking west, toward the Hudson and Jersey beyond.



and no, i did not take these pics, but found them online.

Compared to every ohter city. The only place ranked higher was in a rural county.

Bump! (those are good pic!)

And Shi: they did not say Pitsburgh was the most beatufull city (cause it sure ain't!), just that one specific view from Mt. Washington was chosen as best. get over it

[Bosh]

bah! that doesn't come anywhere close to the awesome skyline of my home town (arrow points to Boshko's house).

1. Red Rock Country, Sedona Arizona

2. Nighttime View From Mt Washington In Pittsburgh

3. Upper Mississippi River

4. Na Pali Coast, Hawaii

What the devil is this? Of all places Arizona beats Hawaii? You have to be kidding me! Everyone knows that Hawaii should have taken the top three spots.



I'll go find some pics for you all...

Yea! Pittsburgh really is gorgeous, now that it's no longer a steel town. The hilly topography has prevented the maniacal zone-and-pave mentality that affects so many cities; it's more European in feel, and easily the greenest urban space I've ever seen. And while the view of thee skyline from Mt. Washington is indeed spectacular, my favorite view is the skyline's sudden appearance as you enter the city via the Fort Pitt tunnel; it's like the opening shot of a movie, and I've literally heard people gasp when they see it for the first time.

Jeez, San Diego didn't even make the top 5? These people smoking something?
