Pittsburgh Making Big Comeback: Discoverer

The Discoverer travel blog is bullish on Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, PA - The Discoverer travel blog has high praise for Pittsburgh, naming it one of "6 U.S. Cities Making a Comeback" in a recent post. The other cities are Boise, Idaho; Detroit, Michigan; Bend, Oregon; Greenville, South Carolina and Columbus, Ohio.

"Long in decline, Pittsburgh has seen a resurgence post-recession, largely owing to the mining and shale-fracking industries," Discoverer noted. " In 2017, the Steel City had the 25th largest GDP of U.S. metro areas. In other words — Pittsburgh is popping. "

The blog praised the city's arts, culture and sports scenes, noting attractions that make Pittsburgh worth a visit such as The Carnegie Museum of Natural History, the Carnegie Museum of Art, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and the Andy Warhol Museum.
