Why is Pittsburgh the place to be for furries? I dunno, but I think it's great!

AFAIK Pittsburgh is desperate to keep the con here because it brings in millions of dollars to local businesses. And the furry parade is a big event for the city - families come from all around to watch it.

I think it's mostly because it brings in money and for whatever reason, the community seems to be just fine with it, even if they don't participate or understand it, so from the furry side, they've found a city happy to have them, and from the city side, they like the economic boost, so if everyone's happy, why change?
