Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh stands at the meeting point of three rivers - the Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny - creating a distinct urban landscape with 446 bridges.

The city evolved from an 18th-century frontier settlement into a major industrial center, producing half of the national steel output by 1911.

Pittsburgh maintains 30 museums, including the Andy Warhol Museum, which holds the largest collection of the artist's works in North America.

The city operates an extensive public transportation network with over 700 buses and a light rail system connecting downtown to southern neighborhoods.

Three professional sports teams - the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins - wear black and gold colors, matching the city's official banner.
