Selling a workwear jacket in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh was the steel capital of the country and rebuilt itself around universities, medicine and robotics after the mills closed. It sits at the confluence of three rivers on very steep hills, crossed by more bridges than any other city in the world.
The hills and the bridges make routes far longer than the map suggests, and many houses are reached by public stairways rather than roads. Establish the approach before agreeing to anything heavy.
