All true! Only "Pro" to "Con #4" is the fact that Joplin, Missouri is a short distance away (Much more to do there). Best thing to do around Pittsburg is fish for Channel Cat in the surrounding "mine pits". Also, Pittsburg is an "Ugly" town (run-down and crappy looking - The College Campus is the best looking part of the whole place, and its kinda crappy too ;-).
