PA Attorney General Sues Snapchat

Over the last decade, Pittsburgh has earned national recognition as a leader in artificial intelligence, robotics, healthcare, and technology. At the center of that growth is Bakery Square, where innovative companies work alongside local businesses, creating a neighborhood that's as exciting after work as it is during the day.

Unlike many technology districts, Bakery Square doesn't feel like a collection of office buildings. Step outside, and you'll find cafés filled with remote workers, neighbors walking their dogs, patios packed during happy hour, and community events that bring people together year-round.
