John instinctively knows what you speak of is 100% true.
I am not a native, but I have lived in Pittsburgh for over 25 years. We are #PittsburghStrong. (And I include Western Pa too.)
Examples:
How the area reacted to the awful hate crime mass shooting in Squirrel Hill - with horror and repugnance. But with strength and love for the survivors too. (My wife's co-worker lost her husband in this tragedy.)
How the area reacted to NFL star running back (Erie Native) James Connor, who went to the University of Pittsburgh and was drafted by the Steelers, and by the way defeated cancer while accomplishing all this. With Love and pride.
How the city that was once one of the dirtiest in the world overcame the 20th century economic loss of the steel industry, remade itself into a modern Green (literally - 3 of the Greenest Hi-rises in the world are in The Golden Triangle) Progressive Renaissance City in the 21st Century. With tenacity and Love.
How a progressive mayor helped the impoverished crime stricken town of Braddock become a hugely better place to raise a family. With Love and compassion.
I'll say that again: RENAISSANCE CITY. #PittsburghStrong 
John has taken this native love for our region and commonwealth, and our native distrust of outsiders, and made it into the 'Keystone' of his campaign for the US Senate.
I hereby propose #PennsylvaniaStrong. as one of the characteristics of his campaign that will lead to a huge victory in November.
