I'll buy that, I'm from Eastern PA (half PA Dutch) and I've only been
to Pittsburgh once.  There is a very good reason for this, the six hour
drive is the same as from Philly to Boston (through NJ, NY, CT and into 
MA). Alternatively you can drive from Philly to DC to Philly or 
Philly to New York to Philly to New York in the same amount of time.
