Pittsburgh, home of the 2008 Super-Bowl Champion Steelers, sits in the middle of (well more like at the intersection of) the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, where the Ohio River forms. From the majestic skyline, to the small friendly neighborhood of Mr.Rogers, Pittsburgh is a city with many wonderful surprises!
