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.

Do YOU know the muffin man??

I know both the muffin man AND the muffler man!

(These guys did a video about the muffler men around here, the Uniontown one is about a minute in. If anyone is wondering what I'm talking about.)

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.
