Reply to comment by darkdemonofthemist in Why are there no Sheetz within city limits? by Some_Guy_Running

You could probably write Pittsburgh Pa on the envelope but it's definitely a suburb. Hell, even Bellevue is a suburb

I would hesitate to call Scott Township a suburb that's pretty far out there. I don't think you understand what city limits mean

I live in Upper St Clair and we are technically a Pittsburgh address. And we are definitely a burb.

Most people in Allegheny County write "Pittsburgh" as their address - regardless of where they pay their local taxes to.

The closest point in the city to USC is the city/Dormont border on West Liberty Ave.

The official 15241 zip code is Pittsburgh, not Upper St Clair. Either will get it delivered correctly, but the USC post office is listed as a "Pittsburgh" address.

2211 Lesnett Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15241

Honestly, it doesn't matter.

Suburbanites calling themselves "Pittsburghers" is technically wrong (you live where you pay local and school taxes), but it isn't hurting anyone.

I do wish people from Fayette and Butler would leave our names out their mouths, though.

I personally don't say I am from Pittsburgh, I generally say that I am from the South Hills because there's USC stigma. And we have lived in Squirrel Hill so we have done city life. My husband is retired Air Force so we have lived lots of places.

I grew up in the city and then moved to the "poor part" of Mt. Lebanon as a teen. My older friends would always dunk on me for being "rich now." I get that stigma.
