    Well, Pittsburgh is culturally midwest even if they aren’t geographically so.

      it was settled by a lot of the same type of Germans who continued west from there during the mid 19th Century… and its proximity to Cleveland has always sort of made it the easternmost Midwestern city…

        Aside from the Browns/Steelers rivalry, I don’t get why there is so much animosity between people in the two cities. Having lived there for a couple of years after growing up in NEOhio, I miss Pittsburgh, and there’s a lot of commonality to be shared there.

      Pittsburgh is geographically midwest as well. The Appalachians were the historical eastern border of the Midwest.

      Philly, on the other hand, is culturally… Philly.

      I view Pittsburgh as honorary Midwestern territory. It’s a fantastic city, too.

      We’re way too confrontational to be culturally midwest.

        Haven’t been to much of the Midwest, then, I guess

          I figured it was mostly passive aggressiveness rather than aggressiveness. Michigan has it too but I chalked that up to rust-belt overlap.

            Could be; I’m in Chicago, so what I see is just active aggressiveness, haha.
