Pittsburgh does much more business with Cleveland, Erie and Columbus than we do with Philly. Probably because dealing with Philly is a PITA. Speaking from personal experience with my own company doing business- it’s not the people in Philly. It’s the city itself.

I’m giving Cleveland a few more years. As a business person I’ve started seeing things starting to turn around there. Cleveland seems to be taking a similar path to ours and building around the Cleveland Clinic. It’s becoming a first rate research center.

Pittsburgh has strong economic ties in both directions, which makes sense because it has basically always been the point at which the East Coast region meets the Great Lakes region. It is also culturally distinct from both, really making it the capital city of a distinct intermediate region.

But the point I am making is about politics, and there the fact that Pittsburgh is in the same state with Philly and not Cleveland, or Columbus, or Youngstown, or DC, or so on, is what counts.

On the other hand, I agree about Erie--I'm happy to accept them into our coalition of larger metros in the state.

That wouldn't be surprising at all. Their cycle is ripe to move up.

PNC Tower according to Jim Rohr is to be around 40 stories and is to be the 4th largest building in the city. Memory states that Pittsburgh agreed whi;e competing for USS - USX Tower we agreed no building could surpass its height!!! I hope that is not the case But... My message for Jim Rohr is thank you, thank you for being a premiere corporate citizen of Pittsburgh. Thank you for making our city your home and please consider increasing the NEW PNC TOWER to 46 stories making it the third tallest skyscraper in Pittsburgh. Allow your world headquarters to be an ICONIC Tower for today and the foreseeable future. Once again THANK YOU JIM ROHR Pittsburgh Loves You
