Update: Was just in Pittsburgh for a few days. I talked to some locals, old and young, I spent most of my time in downtown but they all said nearly the same thing, the area is becoming more affluent. More and more high rise apartments etc. More people choosing to move to Pittsburgh, pushing a lot of the crime out to the outskirts to certain neighborhoods, and of course the random robbings. But for the most part, the young guy, who happened to be African-American, said a lot of the crime is committed by African-Americans against tourists, or against each other.

Don't take my head off about my grammar or punctuation, I'm on my cell!
