US to host next G-20 summit in Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh is known for steel. For sports. For smoke and smog. For a spectacular downfall. But not often for recovery.
For years, political leaders, community activists and ordinary residents tried to convince the world beyond its three rivers that this former industrial powerhouse was on the rise with an economy built on higher education, medicine and new technology.
From Sept. 24 to 25, it will get a chance to prove its point to the world leaders representing 85 percent of the world's economy. On Thursday, the White House announced that President Barack Obama decided to host the next Group of 20 economic summit in Pittsburgh as a way of illustrating what success can look like.

There's several more paragraphs to the AP article I linked.
I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet. There's tons of other articles related to this matter. Get ready for a mad house of security, delays, road closures, detours, international leaders, demonstrators and anarchists taking over the city, folks.
Edit: My bad, I see the thread concerning this now.
