The 13 Types of People Who Might Not Make It in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is a prideful place. The skyline, the pierogi, the claim to ketchup development and the steel that built the U.S.! But if you're the kind of person who enjoys sunshine or thinks Mr. Rogers is creepy, we might not be the place for you. Host Megan Harris is with Pittsburgh City Paper’s Ali Trachta and Stacy Rounds to talk about the 13 people who ain’t gonna make it in Pittsburgh.
