* Pittsburgh is the true birthplace of the iconic McDonald’s Big Mac and the proud home of the world’s first commercial radio station, KDKA, which started broadcasting back in 1920. It is also a city of incredible architectural and digital milestones, featuring the second-tallest university building in the world—the 42-story Cathedral of Learning—and serving as the exact spot where computer scientist Scott Fahlman invented the very first internet smiley emoticon:-) in 1982.
