Because we were waiting for you, the Greater Morgantown-Pittsburgh Visitors Bureau President, to come and explain the difference between each community, why they are the same, and why they are neglected by Pa,WV, and the US.
Pretty odd for you to say why are we talking about Pittsburgh, when it comes out on every thread you type on.

That's me that does that I work in the Pittsburgh area and I also post in the Pittsburgh forums partially discussing the fact that the Pittsburgh MSA/CSA makes no sense. Weirton/Steubenville should have been part of it to begin with and Wheeling should have been added at some point. A little child could look at a map of the Pittsburgh MSA and see that it makes no sense. Also I'll have to agree with CTMountaineer...Wheeling/Steubenville/Weirton should all be considered one metro and part of the Pittsburgh CSA if not part of the MSA in some way.
No offense to Pittsburgh, because I like the city, but to me Pittsburgh sometimes tries to act like it's a northeastern city like a Philadelphia or NYC, but it's not. It's a town right in the middle of Appalachia, just like all of WV.

The suburbs of Moon, Mars, Plum, Settlers Cabin, Bower Hill, Oak Hollow, Wildwood, Economy, and Cranberry further cement that status, as does the basic character of Oakland.
I'll agree but try to tell them that Cranberry is a newer suburb with younger people but yeah a lot of the neighborhoods look exactly like areas in northern WV.

And yes, Pittsburgh is the defacto capitol of Appalachia... mainly because its the only city that resides in the region.

No listen to curse. Questioning the Pittsburgh MSA is insane, but we need to build a huge interstate in middle of nowhere SWV since it will lead to big development.
