Pittsburgh Information
Pittsburgh: It's Where East Meets Midwest
It’s the town that folks like Sharon Stone, Christina Aguilera, Perry Como, Jimmy Stewart, Bobby Vinton, and Joe Montana once called home. It’s where the banana split was invented, the first simultaneous heart, liver, kidney transplant took place, McDonald’s Big Mac debuted, and where the first mass transit busway system was created. And, in 2008, it’s where chamber professionals will meet for ACCE Convention 2008: Innovate!
As Pittsburgh celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2008, visitors will find this city to be filled with world-class historical and cultural attractions, architectural landmarks, professional sports, great shopping, and food to delight every palate. Tour the eye-popping Andy Warhol Museum, explore the night skies at the Allegheny Observatory, one of the foremost observatories in the world, check out a towering T-Rex on display at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, take a walk along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, or visit The Carnegie Science Center, a $40 million “amusement park for the mind.” As you experience all there is to see and do in Pittsburgh, you’ll find yourself making plans to return for pleasure and to “borrow” ideas for enhancing your own communities.
