Pittsburgh is home to two
great colleges that are a
stone's throw away from each other. These colleges would be
CMU and the
University of Pittsburgh. Both of these colleges have
excellent technical classes. These colleges have also brought Pittsburgh a variety of
cultures. The cultures are mainly not defined by
religion or
color of skin but other definitions. Although religion and color of skin do have an affect on the division of cultures.
Pittsburgh has three
pro sports teams. The
Pittsburgh Penguins, The
Pittsburgh Steelers, and the
Pittsburgh Pirates, these teams have their own unique qualities. The
Penguins won the
Stanley cup twice in a row during the 90-91, and 91-92 season. The Steelers have won four
SuperBowl's and have tried unsuccessfully to win another for the past few years. The Pirates are a
mediocre team. They have
come out of a gutter but one of the
best player we ever had was
Roberto Clemente.
Pittsburgh has a
rich history. Pittsburgh was a
major point in the
French and Indian War. It also was home to
Fort Duquesne and
Fort Pitt. Pittsburgh is called
Three Rivers because Fort Duquesne was built on the meeting of the three rivers of the
Ohio,
Allegheny, and the
Monongahela.
