Pittsburgh 2008 Official Visitors Guide - (Page 3) 2008 250 years A Year in the Life of a City is a long time to think. But that’s exactly what Pittsburghers have done. Their collective brainpower has nurtured this region from a frontier town pivotal in the founding of America, to one of the nation’s premier destinations for people who want to set their imaginations free. It’s a place where ketchup comes in a rainbow of colors, and so do the people. (Except on game days, when they’re all black and gold.) Where Andy Warhol and George Washington share more than 15 minutes of fame. Where three major rivers flow past boundless trails and pristine parks. And where high-tech breakthroughs in business, computer and life sciences mix with haute couture on stages and in shops and museums that are famous all over the world. Pick up a bottle of Heinz ketchup – born in Pittsburgh in 1876 – and read founder H.J. Heinz’s enduring motto, “To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success.” It’s time for an uncommon adventure in Pittsburgh. Imagine what you can do here! 3
