News show on Pittsburg

as I was flipping channels the other day, I came across a news show focusing on the problems of Pittsburg and .. . southwestern? PA. I thought of Cellardwellars.

The program was saying how the area is depressed, because the population is aging, and it is not getting or maintaining the same kind of population demographics and diversity as other areas of the country. Few young people, minorities, or immigrants. Apparently, this has been going on for 20 or 30 years now, and the point was made that this is what other areas WILL be seeing in the years to come, as the population ages.

I didn't watch the whole thing, and I'm sorry I don't know what program it was--it was on MSNBC or something, but I thought it was interesting.

. . . or maybe you guys live in Philadelphia? dunno--I'm bad about stuff like that.
