I read through most of the postings and didn't see what I consider the most beautiful city on earth as a favorite. Don't laugh. Pittsburgh, PA! I've seen lots of big cities including NYC, D.C., Toronto, Charolotte Amaille, VI, and even London England, but there is no site like that of exiting the Fort Pitt tunnel from the southwest and entering into Pittsburgh! A simply breathtaking site, even at night.
