Here's what I love about living in Pittsburgh: it's extremely affordable and in reasonable travel proximity to Niagara Falls, Washington, D. C. and New York City. (For others, Cedar Point is another selling point.) I love being able to ride the train from Pittsburgh to New York City. I have decided that I want to try to visit New York at least once a year specifically to visit a couple of dear friends who live there and see a Broadway show. If at all practical, I'd like to retire there. However, my husband can't be persuaded to move to a larger city so Pittsburgh is probably where we'll stay.
