Reply to comment by eastlibertarian in Is Pittsburgh a chain restaurant city? by thehofstetter

I grew up in Pittsburgh, and have lived the last two years in Columbus, and can confirm. It's like corporate chain hell out here. Yeah there are some decent locally owned places, but it's nothing like Pittsburgh. We might be similarly sized cities, but Pittsburgh is a real city. Columbus is just a strip mall, a corn field, and a chain restaurant in a trench coat.

Columbus is like 3x the size of Pittsburgh, at least in the city proper.

while technically true, it's only because Columbus annexed a majority of Franklin County. Imagine if Pittsburgh annexed Ross Townshop, Monroeville, Penn Hills, Baldwin, Pleasant Hills, Bethel Park, Robinson, and Sewickley/Franklin Park
