^ Saw this quote in another thread and thought it might make a fun topic. It's true, the word "Pittsburgh" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Since the city is in the process of reinventing itself, would an official name change to Da Burgh be in order? Or, since simple words are catchy, maybe just Burg?

Or.... something else entirely?

If you could rename Pittsburgh what would you name it?

Don't give anyone ideas or else we'll end up with UPMCville, Mellon City, Highmarkia, New PNC, or our own sovereign territory: Steeler Nation.
