Latest Unabashed Pittsburgh Boosterism

From an economics professor at UCLA:

Attracting and retaining skilled workers is the key to long-run growth—just ask the chamber of commerce in gritty Detroit, where there are homes for sale today for just $13,000. Meanwhile, once sooty Pittsburgh, New York, and London have reinvented themselves as high-end places where the footloose and educated want to live and work.

Lawrenceville appears in the Financial Times as a globally hip neighborhood. Data exist in support of Pittsburgh as a desirable destination for the "footloose and educated." Believe the hype.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms of the Burgh Diaspora.

Thanks for the Happy Mothers Day wishes.

Pittsburgh Diaspora has to make me wonder. Should I move back?
