Pittsburgh’s charms: business and the great outdoors

August 15th, 2006 · No Comments

At the end of June, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette ran a series about how Charlotte had become a giant banking center and its jobs were a major reason why some Pittsburgh residents headed to the Tarheel state.

Turns out those residents may have fled a little too soon. 

Expansion Magazine named Pittsburgh the 9th best metropolitan area (overall) to relocate a business.  Charlotte, on the other hand, was given 4 stars.  That puts it somewhere in the top 20 to 40% of cities, but significantly behind Pittsburgh.  Additional news coverage can be found in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Those workers are also missing out on Pittsburgh’s great outdoors!  National Geographic ranked Pittsburgh “one of the best adventure towns to live and play in,” according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.  Listed as best for the urban adventurer, Pittsburgh’s charm won over the reporter and, eventually, the magazine’s editors.
