The best thing about this city is its proximity to Pittsburgh. Things are slowly turning around here, but there is still a high propensity of dilapidated housing, a lack of night-life, and a lack of well-paying white collar jobs. The schools are okay, and the scenery around the city is beautiful. There is a fantastic city park-memorial park- that is the main hub of outdoor activity for residents. Some notable architecture here, primarily the Catholic churches. Not much in downtown, as most of the businesses have headed to nearby waterworks mall and the new Pittsburgh Mills mall. There are tenative plans for a commuter rail along the allegheny river that will move people from the downtown area through Oakland (university of Pittsburgh), and into downtown Pittsburgh. Like all other western Pa towns, the political environment is the major inhibitor here. Too many municipalities in small geographical areas, and too many individual school districts make progress very difficult.
