And guess what, I've heard Pittsburgh referred to as the same. Just a name given to a community by someone who has no idea what they are talking about.

I probably mentioned earlier in this post or elsewhere, I am originally from Erie. I read the news online every day. One thing I will admit that is quite upsetting; it seems as though there is some kind of gunfire literally every day on the east side of the city. Some days it amounts to nothing, others someone is actually shot. Just reading this morning where someone was shot in the head.

LOL at this comment, Pittsburgh is light years ahead of that lakeside outpost of around 500 or so miserable people. After visiting Erie, a place like Youngstown would appear to be NYC.
