Instead it is a small, friendly city, filled with people who love their traditions, from kielbasa to Kennywood. A city that boasts an arts scene that would make many larger cities jealous. A city with an amazing array of diverse neighborhoods where everyone can find a place that feels like home. A city with several state parks within an hours drive. A city with the best sports fans in the nation. Here are just 10 Things to Love About Pittsburgh. What else do you love?
