Pittsburgh has a much stronger economy...more lively, vibrant and distinct neighborhoods, and its neighborhoods and Downtown is far more walkable than Cleveland/

Not to mention Pittsburgh is more Lush and Green which I love.

Pittsburgh wins no contest.

It apparently is a contest, according to the poll results.

Pittsburgh and Cleveland are pretty much in the same climate, one is not any greener than the other (they are both very green, trees grow like weeds). The only difference is that Pittsburgh has hills, and Cleveland really doesn't.

There is certainly and obviously a contest.

She can exaggerate a bit.

Be that as it may, Pittsburgh is winning the poll as of this post.

Columbus seems far more livable to me because the crime and poverty rates are much lower than they are in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and the economy is stronger than those two cities as well. It also has the best climate of the four cities with less snow than Cleveland, less rain than Pittsburgh, and warmer winters than all 3. It is a great sports town especially if you are a buckeye sports fan.

Yes. Yes it is. My vote included. That doesn't mean there is some blowout though. I voted for Pittsburgh because I just enjoy the city more. However, I do enjoy Cleveland almost as much and I do think there are some categories in which it surpasses Pittsburgh, including food/dining, museums, and orchestra.

The city with the fastest and largest population growth gain is Indy. The is pole is inconclusive based on just a small group of people. A more accurate pole would be the city that more people have chosen to move to promoting it's growth. Indy is the 2nd fastest growing city in the Midwest. It seems like the majority of the population growth in the last decade have chosen Indy as the better city.

I would choose Cleveland, if not for anything else than for the people. Clevelanders are one of a kind.

Same could be said for Columbus as well. And when did Pittsburgh become Midwest??????
