Have you gone to College?

I love Pittsburg, one of the best towns in the country if you ask. There is tons to do, the people are overall friendly and it has a good job market from top to bottom.

The only negatives I can say about it are:

1. When you're in Pittsburg, you're a couple hours drive away from everything. The beach, another big city, you name it it's a good hike.

2. Be prepared to have the Pittsburg Steelers and Penguins hammered down your throat with a mallet. Serioulsly, you can't get anything else on TV no matter where you go and fans of other teams are far and in between. You're probably laughing at this as I did when I first heard it but trust me, it does get annoying unless of course your a fan.

Assuming you're from MO you shouldn't miss a beat. Pitt and KC are opposite sides of the same coin. If you like to fish and hunt you'll be challenged to find nicer area this side of the Mississippi only an hour away.

Went to Pitt for 2 1/2 years, one of the best times of my life.
