Hi. this is a page about pittsburgh. im doing a report on it. here it is :

My Report/Favorite Place in Pennsylvania:

my favorite place in Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh. here are some of the reasons why:

1. we actually went there and visited the Carnegie museum of natural history and art 2. it is a very big city close to our homtown erie pa. 3. home of the Pittsburgh steelers! now that you know just a few of the reasons why i like Pittsburgh here are some facts and data about this city. Surprisingly it has the lowest crime rate of the top 25 metropolitain cities in the United States and the population in 2000 was over 334,563. It has now, most likely reached 1/2 a million. Pittsburgh was offically named and spelled on April 22, 1794 by the act of the Pennslyvania Department. It is one of the few cities in Pennsylvania spelled with an " h " at the end of the suffix  " burg" therefor causing it to become one of the most popular misspelled cities in the U.S. The dialect of this city is diverse, with a mix of Scottish-Irish, German, Central and Eastern European immigrants also known as " Pittsburghese. " This city is known widely for the steel industry, but now has moved on to more high - technology like, health care, robotics, tourisim, and of course ketchup. On our trip to the Carnegie Museum we passed the Heinz Ketchup Factory lit up at night. The factory actually designed a cool bottle of ketchup with the steelers logo advertising their 5th superbowl win. There are many more places to discover in this big city but here are just a few more along with some brief facts.
