To be honest as much as we all hate to admit it, we are part of Appalachia. We're over 400 miles from the coast so we can't be East Coast, but we don't live near plains and farm land so calling us "Mid-west" is also wrong (plus I don't want to be in the same area as Ohio). Between the two is Appalachia which we are squarely inside of although probably the best part of. [Some even call Pittsburgh the 'Paris of Appalachia'] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Paris-Appalachia-Pittsburgh-Twenty-First/dp/088748509X) [relevent as well] (http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/opinion/brian-oneill/yes-we-and-yinz-are-part-of-appalachia-223324/)
I like to refer to us as the "Paris of Appalachia"

We're listed as the most 'livable' city in the US. We're in the throws of heavy gentrification in the city proper, but there's huge opportunities here. We're also 12th in startup funding now.
The biggest thing of this city is that it's very neighborhood oriented. Each neighborhood has a very different vibe and culture, and in the last 5 years or so many are going through revitalization efforts. The university and healthcare systems are our two biggest industries, but we have quite a bit of tech and biomedical clout as well. The food is phenomenal here for the city size, any number of local joints to hit up.
Our biggest downside is a general lack of touristy spots (some would say that's a positive) and not as much art/culture/music as some larger cities (although it's growing yearly). I would also say we're kinda cut off from a lot of cities as we're not quite midwest, and we're not quite east coast (there's a great book on this). We're also not the craziest party town like say a Miami.
Great place to head to if you're looking to settle down though.
We can read perfectly well here in The Paris of Appalachia
Technically, you're still in Appalachia.
At least one author has called Pittsburgh The Paris of Appalachia
