That's true, but the major cities of the Northeast Corridor seem to be rebounding across the board and are a major attraction. And though the growth of the metro is small percentage-wise, the percentages are working off of a huge population base.
I am curious as to what would be causing a rebound and how much either total numbers or percentage? Is it domestic outmigration lessening, immigration increasing, or higher birthrate?
How can someone from Baltimore call Pittsburgh depressing? That's like Paula Jones telling Judy Greer she has a big nose.
Not at all. I can easily see why someone would say it. Its often cloudy there and rainy, the population appears very aged, and the city isn't in mint condition. Baltimore is in worse condition in two parts, but generally has better weather and a younger population.

Oh please. The difference in median age between Baltimore and Pittsburgh is a whole six months.
"Better weather" is also a tenuous claim. Baltimore has milder winters but Pittsburgh has milder summers -- I'll gladly take the latter. Baltimore actually averages more precipitation, and according to this site, Baltimore is one of the cloudiest cities in the U.S., one of a few to get 75% cloud cover more than 150 days a year while Pittsburgh doesn't even make the list.

I live in Pgh and it is not often cloudy and rainy.
It seems so. I just think Baltimore and Pittsburgh are equally depressing. I think Pittsburghs isolation is also a factor. Both are beautiful cities and i would live in either, as i find them both stunningly beautiful. Depressing cities to others aren't depressing to me. I was just saying why someone would think that, not that I personally feel that way.

Pittsburgh isn't depressing or isolated. So you may have to travel a little to get to a large city you act like there's no other civilization for 400 miles. Pittsburgh is within a days drive of much of the USA and Ontario and Quebec.
I can see how someone from the BosWash corridor might feel a sense of isolation living anywhere outside that corridor. But Pittsburgh is not at all uniquely isolated compared to any other major metro outside the corridor.
Is Pittsburgh cloudy? Compared to a lot of places it is. Just not compared to Baltimore.
You people act like ive never been to pittsburgh. Ive been there plenty of times. Isolated in these days is NOT isolated in 1840 like you people are acting it is. I KNOW pittsburgh is not far from small towns, and only few hours drive to Cleveland, Buffalo, etc. Pittsburgh can easily be viewed as isolated. Its the only major within a large radius and being in the mountains doesnt help make it feel any less isolated. Pittsburgh to me, and even in comparison with Baltimore, feels pretty cloudy. Sorry if stats don't back that, but thats just how i feel. Speaking of extremely and unwarranted defensiveness...
