Fayette City is a tiny village located along the Monongahela River in a region known as the "Mon Valley." This is a generally depressed area of the Pittsburgh metro, south of the city, still suffering from the decline of steel and other industrial employers. Fayette City is one of the older cities along the river, and one of the oldest in Fayette County. It has an interesting collection of early architecture. There are a couple astonishing survivors which may date from the pre-1820 period. Sadly, Fayette City appears to be mostly dilapidated and abandoned, although it's a small enough town that a little development could go a long way.

Some potential charm, but it is REALLY far away from the core area.
