    I can't begin to express how much I love this video. We just moved from Greenfield to Mount Lebanon. This legit made me homesick. You walked past our old blue house on Coleman st,
    That stray cat's name is Frankie. He was our cat before we moved but we left him with the neighbor across the street. He is an outdoor cat and HATED where we moved. Thus, we brought him back to our neighbor who loves him. Frankie really became the neighborhood cat over the years and seeing him in your video really filled me with joy.
    You also filmed in a lot of places where I would walk my dog. I know some of this must sound silly but for real man, this video brought me back.

    Hi Dean... loving this series. I wanted to particularly complement you on your editing in this video. From the snap cuts on the beat of the music, to the rotoscoping you did when you walked behind yourself. You're a talented filmmaker from concept, to execution, to editing. Thank you for highlighting the city I've been away from for more than 30 years, and I look forward to you doing Mt. Washington and Duquesne Heights.

    I love this series so much, thank you for putting your time and effort into this! I grew up in Pittsburgh (Bellevue) and I’m now a sophmore at Pitt, living in Shadyside. I thought I had seen most of Pittsburgh already, but watching these always makes me realize how wrong I am and also excited to get out and explore these neighborhhoods. If I can afford to be a patreon on my college-student budget I will lol. Bellevue, while its technically a borough instead of a neighborhood, is turning into a nicer and nicer place to live. There are a good handful of new family owned restaurants and even a new brewery. (I definitely a little biased but think it might be worth while considering)

    Thoroughly enjoying the series and am glad to know more are coming! Along the Dormont theme, how about a couple more along the T? Perhaps Bethel Park with 13 T stops? It includes the Montour Trail, a good chunk of the 2,000 acre South Park and of course; the famous Bethel Bakery and newbie Reginald's Coffee.

I’m going to be moving back to PGH in a couple of years and your videos are a great way to show my husband the area, my old stomping grounds, etc. Your videos make me so excited to come home (and they help me consider what neighbourhoods to investigate as I won’t be moving back to Sewickley, there are too many wonderful hidden gems to not spread your wings and explore!)

    So true about people staying in the same house for generations.
    And neighbors knowing each other and helping out.
    And there are newcomers (like me) who are diversifying the neighborhood. Largely due to fair priced housing.
    But the houses are also nice. Charming, like you said.

    • @drohegda
      @drohegda Před 4 lety

      Sir I read years ago over the Carnegie Library in Oakland that Beltzhoover was originally a German neighborhood. And when they were building the Liberty Tunnels they brought Afro Americans from the New York area to work on the tunnels, so they settled and lived in Beltzhoover until the tunnels were built and many got jobs later in the Steel Mills etc. And made Beltzhoover their home and settled and raised their Families.

    Hey Dean. I love your show. Glad that you are rocking out 10 more. Let us know about the patreon... I will be all over it!

    I think a little map (even just a marked up screenshot of Google Maps) for each neighborhood to highlight your favorite parts would be cool as a Patreon bonus. Whether it's restaurants, shops, activities, etc.

    You get some really cool shots. That shot at 8:08 could be a framed picture. I just love the look of the different type houses, the affect of the lights and how they reflect on the windows of the houses and the lighting of the Greenfield sign.👍
    Btw, if, or when 😀 you do Aspinwall, can you do it in the Spring when the Farmers Market is in full swing. 😊
