When people think of Pittsburgh, they may think of our football team or our history as a major steel manufacturing city.
While these are both relevant aspects of Pittsburgh today, they overlook the heart of the place, bypassing the fact that Pittsburgh is a bustling city with the feeling of a small town. Did you know that Pittsburgh has been ranked as one of America's most livable cities!
Pittsburgh's cultural institutions are renowned and contribute significantly to the city's greatness. Amidst its rich history, many may overlook the city's delightful aspect, which has been as close as the contents of a candy dish.
Did you know that at one-point, Western Pennsylvania had more wholesale candy companies than anywhere in the nation!
