We accept Fallingwater as our own, though a bit distant physically.

Fallingwater's also in Southwestern PA (Laurel Highlands), which is completely in-scope based on the sub's own rules

It's within Pittsburgh's orbit by default. The nearest city is Uniontown, which isn't exactly a cultural hub. Morgantown is regionally important, but unless you care very deeply about college football or strange forms of urban transit, there's not much that's distinctive about it.

Pretty good muffler man in Uniontown. That's about it.

You can see the Pittsburgh skyline from certain peaks in the Laurel Highlands.

Yup. From the rear deck at the visitor center of Laurel Caverns or at the foot of the Great Cross of Christ above Uniontown, you can just make out the Steel Tower and Mellon Building. Technically, Morgantown is a bit closer, but it's just not a hub in the same way.

Wow, I never knew that. We were at Laurel Caverns last year but it was a very foggy morning so we couldn’t see that. If we ever go again and it’s clear out I’m going to look for it.

It was built for the Kaufmanns who were important in Pittsburgh history.
