I agree accept I don't really think of Appalachian cities as being northeast. Pittsburgh just happens to be a city that lies within the technical definition of the northeast... and that's only because the state of Pennsylvania is weighted towards Philadelphia (i.e. if Pittsburgh were PA's flagship city then the state would probably be grouped in with either the Midwest or near South). 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).
