Reply to comment by [deleted] in Is Pittsburgh a chain restaurant city? by thehofstetter

Delco is the opposite side of a pretty big state. The city vs suburb divide is still true in Allegheny county, but if you are new to delco, and not from Allegheny, maybe this isn’t the place for you. These are very different counties, and Pittsburgh and Philly are VERY different cities.

Basically they said the delco suburbs are all strip malls with chain places, and that they weren’t expecting that

Not sure why you're comparing the urban center of Pittsburgh to a suburban county. Most cities the size of Philly have suburbs like that.

I said why. I happen to be sitting here and it was just utterly surprising. I've never seen anywhere else like it.

And no, Pitt urban centr, as I said in the beginning, is not a chain based place.

If you want to see one, go to Delco
