I don't get why half of this subs keeps saying Pittsburgh and Cleveland have so much in common when they look nothing alike. Sure there are similarities with people between the two cities, but how a city looks and feels has a hell of a lot to do with this type of question as well.

Why are Columbus and Louisville on here? Both of them have little in common with Pittsburgh. Philly, Baltimore, and even Boston have more in common with us than those two.

In what ways is Pittsburgh more similar to Cleveland than Baltimore or Philly, aside from population?

I'd have to respectfully disagree. Of the list above I voted for Cincy having been to all of the cities listed (some many times). Cincinatti and Pittsburgh are really similar. But besides that Pittsburgh, imo, is closer to Cleveland and Milwaukee (and maybe even Columbus) before I'd say Philly or Baltimore.

With the exception of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh is more like Philly or Baltimore than any of the cities in that list.

I think that’s the wrong Dugan, but damn I just did that jingle in my head too.

I’m going to say Cleveland .
I’ve never been to Milwaukee .
Cincinnati is very similar to Pittsburgh topography wise, the people are different though. At least as an NFL fan, Cincinnati and Indianapolis is where I felt the safest attending a game with my Steelers gear on. Really docile and nice. No one really said a thing and was extremely hospitable and open to us which in a weird kind of twisted way hurt the experience 😂
I’m really surprised someone voted Columbus, I lived there for awhile and I think they are completely different. It’s really hard to think of a way they are similar.
City that kind of reminded me of Pittsburgh that is outside the US : Hamilton, Ontario and the Mississauga area .

There are a bunch of important races this spring but I think this one might be at the very top of that list. Zappala isn’t going to change, not after twenty years, so it’s time for him to go

Are you hardwired to your modem? 1000 down to 350 over Wi-Fi is to be expected.

How many times could you climb Canton then eat a Las Palmas taco in a row? You get unlimited sips of Turner’s.

I’ve been considering this. $30 a month too.
My issue with Comcast is they’ve sent 5 techs out and no change. I actually had to upgrade my speed to 1000mbps to be able to get to close to 350 consistently.

Like a few others have said, Fios is the best choice if you have it near you. It is a bit pricey though but never once had a issue with it.
I've also heard good things about T-Mobile's cellular internet. But haven't used it.

The article says there are 600 workers in Boyers. Where did you come up with the other 599,400 jobs?

750 hours free!*

Internet providers are not city wide. It depends on your neighborhood, really. You can go to https://broadbandnow.com and enter your zip code and get the available providers. However, not all will have cable run in your neighborhood - you are still going to have to call or go to their websites to see if it is available.

That sounds like a threat.

I'm not sure if anyone else here has been to Halifax and St John, New Brunswick, but I thought both also felt like Pittsburgh when walking around them.
I agree with Columbus too. It's a Sunbelt-like city in the Midwest.
