Maybe this is better if you're in Pittsburgh and want to know more about it, but there are definitely gaps in coverage (Fort Pitt is listed as a place where something is held, but I didn't find any information about the location itself). As a travel guide, I didn't think it was very good. The maps were certainly lacking, so prepare yourself with a city map if you're using this one to plan a trip. Oh, and addresses aren't particularly helpful, either, since they give you streets, but not numbers.

I'm moving to Pittsburgh and want to know what to expect.

Some good basic information, but the best way to learn about a new city is to see it for yourself. This book can point you in the right direction, though.
