	Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on Pittsburgh
		Pittsburgh is located at the center of a fairly expansive set of river valleys, and much of the city's residential population is situated on or near the slopes of those valleys with certain neighborhoods (particularly south of the Monongahela) nearly inaccessible by car during the winter.
		Pittsburgh has seen tremendous growth with the Arts Institute International headquarters, a bevy of world-class universities, as well as some of the nation's best hospitals, but all of it is a mixed blessing for the city in that more land and towers are being tax exempted by these successful non-profits.
		Pittsburgh public school teachers are paid well relative to their peers, ranking 17th in 2000-2001 among the 100 largest cities by population for the highest minimum salary offered to teachers with a BA ($34,300).

	The Hawk!
		In the inaugural season of the American Basketball Association, Hawkins was named league MVP after leading the Pittsburgh Pipers to their only league title while averaging 26.8 ppg and 13.5 rpg.
		The Pipers moved back to Pittsburgh for the 1969-70 season (and changed their name to the Condors the season after that), but the Hawk was about to fly to greener pastures.
		So he jumped at a chance to sign with the Pittsburgh Pipers, who gave him a $5,000 bonus, a $15,000 salary for the first year and $25,000 for the second, with the option of becoming a total free agent at the end of the second season.

		With the Pipers, he led the league with a scoring average of 26.8 points per game and was second in rebounding and shooting percentage and fourth in assists.
		The Pipers, as well as the entire league, had been hurt by the injuries to Hawkins and Barry that prevented the two from appearing against each other; despite that, there was hope for the future as the ABA teams were banding together in an attempt to lure Lew Alcindor of UCLA for the following season.
