It's formed in Pittsburgh
Answer:
OHIORIVER
Hint:
This major waterway begins where the Allegheny and Monongahela meet.
Explanation:
The clue plays on the fact that the Ohio River is formed in Pittsburgh—it starts where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet. The word "formed" hints at its creation rather than just passing through the city. While the Ohio River flows beyond Pittsburgh, the clue cleverly focuses on its origin point to lead to the answer.
