Pittsburgh will be the center of the world this weekend with the G-20 Summit taking place in the city.

Much has been written in the last few days about Pittsburgh and how it transformed over the past couple of decades from a steel town to a modern hub for education, technology, and healthcare.

I spent two wonderful years in Pittsburgh attending the Carnegie Mellon Business School and can only share the prase for the city! It is cold in winter but if you can get over that (like anyone living in cold winter areas) than Pittsburgh is great! From the great people, neighborhoods with the cafes and book stores to the great parks and river fronts, the universities and surrounding areas, the museums and of course…. the Steelers, the Penguins (and I guess also the Pirates).

So, just wanted to share my congratulations to the city!
