The observation about hills being unsightly is funny to me. Personally, I find the lack of hills to be horrible and completely soulless. When I’m in the Midwest and the sky meets the trees at eye-level 360 degrees around, I’m in my own personal hell. Nothing interesting about the landscape. Just flat nothingness. Like playing a Minecraft superflat world.

I was driving back the other day and somewhere in or around eastern Ohio or the western PA border, I realized the highway was starting to descend into a valley, and ahead I could see the first of the rolling hills characteristic of the fringes of Appalachia. I felt immediately at home. If I can’t see a hill or a valley, I’m not at peace

“Lots of hills” was my impression when I moved there for college after never having been there lol. Somehow I was always downhill from where I needed to go.

Down hill and the only road that goes there directly is one way

Why wall it off to just the yinzers? The Pittsburgh region's population is bigger than some entire states in the US.

The OP is spot on though. I grew up in NEPA, went to school in State College and lived in King of Prussia for a couple of years before my Pittsburgh Princess got homesick and brought me home. Half a lifetime later I can't see myself living anywhere else.

Of course it shouldn't just be for yinzers, but I think there would be a good place to post this too.

Though I've always lived in Allegheny County, I fortunately have had the means to do an okay amount of traveling around the country, and there were few places I have thought I could feel at home in like here.
