Tampa has actually grown since that last census count. It's population is about 350,000 now. I think it's pretty obvious that Tampa is more important. There is a military base, more celebrities live here, and really there is just more to do. Pittsburgh just seems a little boring to me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but can anyone tell me anything special about Pittsburgh?
carniege-mellon university is certainly no dump, in the realm of academics, as it has a national reputation in theater arts to say the very least.
i would choose pittsburgh because of the dinstinction of seasons and cold weather. in my opinion, these polls would be much more useful if the same questions, w/ the same criteria, etc. were the same for all cities on cd. i realize nothing on cd is to be considered "scientific" in any way; however, following some of the good advice seems to make sense.
I'd say I did a LOT more RESEARCH and provided a larger amount of LINKS than the vast majority of threads here...such as: "have at it" or "which city has a better nightlife" or "which city has the worst neighborhoods"......relative to those types of threads this is relatively "scientific"; however it mainly comes down to people's opinions. Obviously, you have NEVER checked our VERY informative SCIENCE FORUM......pretty good information there and discussions; along with the links to try and substantiate different points of view and theories. PS...Perhaps you will start a thread for your fellow posters; that way we can see how a thread could be done in a more "scientific" fashion... ;-)

Can anyone tell me anything special about Tampa, I mean besides their world renowned call centers?
I will say one thing the City of Pittsburgh is the most beautiful city in Pennsylvania as it beats out the dirty City of Philadelphia .There was one time when Pittsburgh(BIG STEEL TOWN) was the dirtiest city possibly in the country,I love the beauty of Mount Washington that would certainly blow away anything togography wise that Tampa Bay area has,but there is beauty in the beaches of Clearwater,St. Pete,Dunedin Safety Harbor and Tarpon Springs. Both cities have beautiful skylines but I will give it to Pittsburgh as you can view the city from the hilly southbank of the city.
I would prefer to live in the Tampa Bay area because of the beautiful weather and beaches.

I really don't feel that neighborhoods such as South Tampa and New Tampa have a criminal element.
I NEVER said they did...I said in general and relatively; crime rates appear higher in Tampa...I NEVER mentioned any Tampa neighborhoods but YOU did????? 2006 Metro Area Violent Crime Rates.
