When you think of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, do you imagine a dark and dirty city of smoky steel mills? <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pittsburgh has undergone a renaissance. It\u2019s now a clean, green city at the forefront of sustainability. Pittsburgh is a supremely walkable city with 90 unique neighborhoods <\/a>and 446 bridges across its three rivers. To check out some of these, just hop a bus or the T (the underground rail has limited stops), or grab an Uber.<\/p>\r\n
