You know it already, but it must be bragged about in public forum:

More than 20 years after being named America’s most livable city, Pittsburgh has returned to the top of the list. The 25th anniversary edition of Rand McNally’s “Places Rated Almanac” will name Pittsburgh as the nation’s most livable city.

I should be a nice blogger and just point out that finally the rest of the country will figure out what we already know, that Pittsburgh is the Liberal Arts major of the country — while we may not be the most awesome at any one particular thing, we are awesome enough at a whole bunch of things. I should be a nice blogger and tell Anthony that he’d be insane to leave the Most Livable City for The State Where Wrinkled Smelly Old People Go To Die. I should be a loyal Burgher and put my finger and thumb on my forehead in the shape of an L and scream “LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSERS!” as loud as I can to Cleveland, Baltimore, and Cincinnati.

But what I really want to say is, “Take THAT, Sienna.”

Pittsburgh rocks.

I imagine right now Lukey’s assistant is taking a memo ordering the marketing department to commission a new billboard: “Welcome to Luke Ravenstahl’s Most Livable City!!”
