Excepting Buffalo, which is also an outlier, Pittsburgh is (historically) most closely related to cities in the lower Midwest (e.g. Cincinnati) and near South (e.g. Charleston, WV).

I've always hated that Pennsylvania is so heavilly weighted toward out east, as if western PA is just "there" and really doesn't matter. Anyway, the initial post was to compare two equally-sized cities roughly 100-120 miles apart. Ookay, back to the discussion of Cleveland. It will be interesting to see where Cleveland is headed in the next 5 to 10 years and beyond. It has a lot of nice things to offer residents and tourists alike, epsecially in the downtown area. (the lake, R&R Hall of Fame, shopping at Terminal Tower just to name a few). As long as there is still demand for downtown living, I say keep building to fulfill the demand.
By the way. My wife and I are driving out there on Fathers Day weekend.
