  • Forbes reports that Pittsburgh is the “perfect” city to host a G-20 summit — and that isn’t a joke about the backwaters of the Monagaheal. They’re calling it a “global coming-out party.” We’re way happy for our fellow First Class City in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania but there are lessons that need to be had here.As White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told Forbes, “It’s an area that has seen its share of economic woes in the past but because of foresight and investment is now renewed–giving birth to … industries that are creating the jobs of the future. And I think [Obama] believes it would be a good place to highlight some of that.”

After the jump, our city’s industrial buildings get rebirth, John Gruber gets Apple community grief and other tech links you should eye, including our best read story of the week.
