I just want to let you know, AGAIN... That what you are doing for our city, thru your talent is so inspirational! I now bring a garbage bag with us when we take our kids out to local parks. You have started something AMAZING and I want to be part of that. I feel like you are uniting Pittsburgh, town by town and I couldnt be more proud to be a PITTSBURGHER... You're on your way to fulfilling your dreams, Dean. I have no doubt that in the near future, you will have exploded as not only a youtuber, but as a Documentarian, or anything that involves you and video/photography. Happy New Year friend!
🥺🥺🥺🥺 his viewers are so wholesome. I love this.
Dude Dean, same tbh
Dean, a map with your intro would be very useful for future episodes. I know where Mt. Washington is, but it’s really nice to see where you are exploring on a map.
Love the series!

I agree
Google maps have all the different neighborhoods labeled for the non yinzers
OMG these little films of yours are artistic treasures. I have never been to Pittsburgh, and now I feel so connected to the place. Cannot wait to visit early this spring. Thank you for these beautiful, poignant glimpses in to this world.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh. I’ve been living in Japan now for almost 6 years. I moved out here intentionally but because of certain aspects of my new life I’m not sure when or if I’ll ever be able to return home. These videos and your upbeat attitude specifically soothe my soul and provide solace when I’m feeling homesick. Thank you, Dean.
These videos remind me how special our town is and how special every individual is. Thanks Dean
It's easy to forget or just look at pittsburgh as a whole. These videos help me remember awesome spots and neighborhoods. Thanks Dean.
I'm from Chicago and Pittsburg has never been on my radar of places to go. Recently a friend just moved there and another spent the night there traveling from NYC to Chicago. These videos are amazing and once this pandemic is over I think I'll take a long weekend and check the city out! Such a great find, keep up the amazing work and wow your future is so bright you should be doing all over the country my friend. My favorite is the one on downtown!
That's Pittsburgh with an 'h'. Was spelled without the h many years ago.
Dean Bog : cleaning up the streets of Pittsburgh. I love it. People dump on my hill like it's a dump
I never realised picking up trash could be so trippy!
Dean, you’re doing a great job. I thoroughly enjoy this.
As a Pitt student I will do my best to spread the word of these videos! A much watch for all students! H2P!
*mt WORSHINGTON.
I'm not originally from Pittsburgh so when I moved here I had several people correct me saying "its not Washington, its Worshington" lol hilarious
@@subtlehustlemoto3737 those people are fucktards dont listen to them
yinz git in the haas
*Mahnt Wahrshington*
Le Mont restaurant has been there for many decades!
You got MARIO.... dude is awesome.....had only heard his voice on the Fan.nice to put a face to him
Wow. I found your channel last night and I can't stop watching. Thanks for taking your viewers with you, gives me a feeling of being home. There's no where in the world like Pittsburgh ❤
The litterbugs in Pittsburgh drive me crazy!
The cinematography in these videos is absolutely gorgeous
Very cool production Dean. You have fans in New Zealand!
Sick
And we've been to NZ (South Island) and it was beyond gorgeous and the people were stupendous. Stay awesome!
Selfie game strong 🤠😂 I loved this episode. Cohesive from start to finish. Captured so much history, resident interviews, the views, and some laughs. Support the Patreon y’all!!
I found your channel and subbed,keep up the great work ,I love that song ,bring them on💙
Two inclines in Pittsburgh, one in Johnstown, and one outside of Altoona.
Yupp Johnstown has the steepest in the world. That's where I'm from. Not many use it for transportation anymore though
@@Entirelyxtooxtired I'm an Operator at the Duquesne Incline. I've been there over twenty years now. Been to Johnstown many times. Same man that designed the Duquesne Incline, designed the Johnstown Incline. Samuel Desheler.
@@charleswise5570 Did not know that! That's cool, have any crazy stories about any of the inclines? Would love to hear haha, they have some amazing history to them! I think it's interesting we put cars on ours, neither or the Pitt ones do :(
@@Entirelyxtooxtired The Johnstown Incline can also carry 64 people on each car also. It's also manually operated, but the Duquesne and Monongahela have automatic slow downs on them.
They seem to be much more common in Europe for some reason. I encountered them in Porto, Zagreb, Bilbao, Prague, Koblenz, Lisbon, Barcelona, Luxembourg, Istanbul... and I wasn't even looking for them haha
I lived in Mt Washington 8+ yrs ago. It was funky, cool people, none of that drug crap. Great library! Good bars, and from what I remember, of the homeowners; amazing people! Thanks Dean! Stellar production, as always
You crushed it. Absolutely CRUSHED it, Dean.
Just discovered your videos yesterday and spent last night watching most of your neighborhood series. As a fairly new resident, it’s awesome to see the nooks and crannies of all the areas. I’m obsessed!
Completely agree.
I was once down in Point Park and watched a flock of turkeys fly in from Mt Washington. Pittsburgh is so cool.
Please please please please please do squirrel hill or Shadyside!!!!
Shane Birkenfeld I think he Already has
I agree
Like sq hill and Shadyside don’t have enough attention already
This is so good! There’s something to be said about the small factory towns surrounding Pittsburgh, Jeannette is an old glass town lots of really cool abdandoned factories and history; the local officials are making plans to get rid of them. Probably best for everyone but still very cool nonetheless. Keep up the awesome stuff 😊
Yea just shitty once you go on the other side of the bridge. But I still like walking by the old glass factory over the years
As a Greensburg resident I agree, I think it would make for a great documentary
@@Lkease And you can't do Greensburg without Dr. Spino!

I lived there in the early 90's. Rode the incline every day. I went to A.I.P. , I loved living there on Mt. Washington. Loved the view of the city out my front window at 122 Baily Ave. I have come back to visit Pittsburgh many times over the years. I fell in love with Pittsburgh and Mt. Washington and the people. I miss them days. The view of the city on light up night is just fantastic, from Grandview Ave. Same with 4th of July.
Just discovered your channel, & have been happily binge watching for the last several hours. I've had a love affair with Pittsburgh almost all my life (I'm 55!), but I've never been fortunate enough to live there for any length of time. I'm from a small town about 130 miles northeast of there, & I visited alot as a kid. My late husband & I did live there temporarily for about a year in the early 2000's,, when my husband was being treated for leukemia at West Penn hospital. It was a difficult year, but also a great one, due to being in Pittsburgh. My husband was in the hospital most of that year, but once he was stable, he insisted that I get out & see as much of the city as I could. I didn't want to leave him at the hospital, but afterward, I was really so glad he made me go. My only regret is that once he was well, we packed up & went back home. I've been trying to get back to Pittsburgh ever since! Now, going for occasional visits is more pain than pleasure for me. Health, kids, & financial issues got in the way of us making a permanent move there, but he passed away several months ago, so now my Pittsburgh dream is back in full force. Trying to apartment hunt long distance is tough though, & the neighborhoods that were affordable back in 2005/2006 are much more expensive now. Plus, some of those places have lost the vibe I liked due to over-gentrification. I hope to make it work out soon though, as I have to travel to see my doctor at the Hillman Cancer Center pretty often. Thank you for making these great videos of The 'Burgh!!
First off, your production style is amazing. The beginning shots that set the mood, the music, your iconic helmet and fun gags like the snowman talking, your face being mirrored, etc. These documentary style videos with real people hit such a deep part of the soul and make you feel this connection you never would without being there yourself.
Second, you give me a very Jake from VSauce vibe (both in voice and humour) but most importantly in the information you provide. Describing little things like the metal supports on houses, the many shots that flow together and feel like a catalogue of this beautiful city you live in. Definitely a channel I'll be recommending and following well into the future, take care!
This is fantastic. There is nobody out there who could have known that Charlize Theron calls herself Dean Bog and is a brilliant documentarian. In my opinion, this alias obviously enables her to make remarkable, insightful, and unique vignettes about Pittsburgh. I had no idea that this was her thing. Genius! This persona will take them places much more rewarding and interesting than the fetid pools of Hollywood mediocrity she has been forced to wade through up until this time. Never stop this. You are talented and inspiring! Never go back to Hollywood or South Africa. Stay in Pittsburgh and keep being tremendous!!!!!!! This is the best travel series on the internet or PBS or anywhere.
😂
I have been preaching about Air Conditioning forever! Don't blame phones. It's the AC! Preach!
The funicular in Pittsburgh are amazing! Where I live in the North East of England, we have one that runs to the beach called Saltburn! There's even a poster of our Saltburn tram in Pittsburgh's Duquesne Incline Museum! It's so crazy!
Dean, please do an episode on Brentwood. I know it is a suburb of Pittsburgh but it has a great story with it. Nice work and good fortune in the new year.
Just don't bring any black ppl with you. Their cops hate them!
I live here on the Mount! Never knew about Grandview Park, it doesn’t even show up on Google Maps. Will be checking that out soon, thanks for repping our neighborhood and our city so well as always!!
its worth a look, but there is a small quiet park right off one of the bike trails right before Grandview too. It's tucked away on a back street off Boggs Ave. If you have dogs it's a nice respite.

Hey I'm not sure how to contact you other than this. So hear goes! I would love for you to do a story on McKeesport. My grandfather and great grandfather were both on the cover of "U.S. Steel" magazine back in the day when McKeesport was booming with the steel industry. My Nana has lived on Jenny Lynn St. for over eighty years, only moving a few houses up the hill when her father built a house up the street as a wedding present to her and my grandpap. She was the bookkeeper/secretary for u.s. steal, leaving school to work. My grandparents both grew up in that neighborhood, went to school together, worked together, and stayed together through his deployment in WWII as a Navy Seal. They got married when he returned and raised three kids on that street in that neighborhood. My grandpa isn't around anymore, but my Nana is still alive and would love to be interviewed about the town's history. She lived there for her whole life until recently having to move closer to us in the South Hills for home care, and has plenty to say about it's history. My whole family is from there and recalls when it was a great place to live. I also went to George Washington school in McKeesport for Grade School, but thankfully moved before it started getting too bad I guess. But I loved it there and still miss the candy shop and great sled riding down the streets!
I'll take the risk putting my email here in hopes to hear back from you. I think it's worth the risk. Thanks man. Liked your video, I've already been subscribed.

Yes. McKeesport. Yes. We could use this. ❤️
I grew up in Mt Washington in the 50’s & 60’s on Sweetbriar St it was a wonderful childhood. Grandview Ave has really changed. My grandfather died of a heart attack on his way to work in the Duquesne incline in 1947.
I’ve really been enjoying your videos. You approach each neighborhood with such respect and openness. As a life long Pittsburgher it’s a bit jarring but amazing to see the city from the eyes of a person not born here. It makes me see a place that is so familiar in a different way. Pittsburgh has changed so much in my lifetime I can imagine that it’d be unrecognizable. I’ve always felt that our geography of the city molded its residents’ personalities in a quite literal way. Both are hard to get familiar with, but familial and welcoming once you get to know us. It’s got a history of hardworking, tough people. I’m so glad you can see the beauty here.
I lived in Mt. Washington when my children were little. It was amazing!
as a current Pitt student and 10+ year Pittsburgh resident, thank you for these. I hope i run into you one day and can buy you a beer!
My Washington is my home town & no matter where I go, I run into one of my many family members, even on CZcams!! Uncle Bernie did a great job in this video! Thank you for your amazing work!
Beechview also has an amazing greenway... as well as the slackliners
Production level 1000
This is one of my favorite cities. You do all of us yinzers proud!!!
Really enjoying these Dean!
Thanks for doing my old neighborhood, Dean. And, yes... the hill at Grandview Park is primo sledding. I can't count the number of times many decades ago that I nearly killed myself in the tangled weeds that ironically saved me from actually plunging to my death in South Side below.
Weeds do haveapurpose
You're awesome, man. Really enjoying these ❤️
Beautiful work, again!
Keep it up man, this is a great series!
Awesome episode as always!
Lived up there for 8 years. I loved it!
The guy that mentioned that air conditioners killed neighborhood camaraderie has a good point. There was a time when people sat on their porches every night and talked with their neighbors. I really miss that…my wife and I are trying to bring it back in our neighborhood.
There's a lot to say about Mt. Washington, growin up in Northside and going to school @ NA... I've seen a lot of the burgh. Great vid my dude. I see how much work you've put in by watching this one, I've been around the "mount" for 8 years now. Not all good, not all bad, you got some support from me, hope to see more.
Glad to see u getting more recognition for these lately. I've always felt our city was underrated and ur bringing to light some of what we have to offer in a fresh way, much love.
You are the Millennial Rick Sebak and I can think of no higher compliment than that.
Dean you're a genius. I loved how loaded with content this video was. It was like a new year's treat! I'm so stoked for the Patreon. You inspire me and, at this point, genuinely countless others.
So many great memories. Thanks for such a great video!
Keep it up dean !!! Killing it man
I love your videos!! They are so educational and inspiring. Thank you for all that you do
This was so well done 👏🏼...keep up the great work!
Great vids man! I really like what your doing.
Did not think you were going to do a video this week and was so happy you did ! HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Sufferfest through Type 2 fun, wonderful perspective, love it
Check out his video on slacklining, from a few months ago for more!
My one daughter goes to Pitt, and the other goes to Chatham.... I find these so interesting because they think they want to live in PGH after they graduate.
I remember a part of pittsburgh that had some of the worst streets and steepes hills to ride a bike up, Troy Hill, on of these hills was paved, but it was the most pot holed street I had ever seen, I was a good cyclist at the time, though I was riding a heavy mountain bike, but I could only get half way up it, at the time I could go all the way up East Sycamore to Mt. Washington. Maybe you would find it interesting... I love your videos, and hope to make some that are even a fraction as good, you are inspiring man!!
Dean Bog is to Pittsburgh as Casey Neistat is to New York City. Love it keep up the great work.
Great editing!
Glad you started patreon. I'm so confused why you're not monetized. But, great job.
I was just wondering if it might be the music
@@leisure057blank3 true.. which sucks because I think his editing and soundtrack choices are so great. His patreon is already halfway to his goal! So I'm pretty pumped for him.
@@anghellbeth the music is perfect.
A friend sent me this series a few days ago and I’ve binged through all of them in less than a week.
Dean, absolutely fantastic job with this series!
The production is absolutely off the charts!
Also gives me a chance to notice areas of the city I never though of exploring. Makes me want to just drive around for a day now.
If you ever want to go slightly outside the city limits, you should come out to South Park or do an updated North Park/South Park episode. There’s plenty of space to explore here and a ton of history to learn about as well!
This is an awesome video! Love what you are doing with these. Keep it up!
I just love your channel Dean 💙do live streams people will donate 😆
I would buy merch. 🤷♀️❤👍🏻
@@anghellbeth yes for sure ! especially a warm sweatshirt ,lolol very cold here in Pittsburgh !
@@anghellbeth is that your cat in the pic?I love my kitty's ,gizmo and booties 🐈🐱
@@winternight2038 yes! That's my precious cat Mama that passed away last May. She was a stray and I took her in about 8 or 9 years ago. She was pregnant with 6 (plus she brought 3, 10-week old babies to my front door) kittens and very sick. So I took her in* and got her healthy. Got the babies healthy and fostered them. But she always had these underlying health issues the vets couldnt figure out. I miss her a lot. Thanks for asking. I like to talk about her.❤
Going around some of the areas live is a great idea!
That new year's shot was beautiful ❤️
Loved this one as well. Great job!
Do one on the Strip District!
Best series ever ...so glad youre getting recognition too!!!!! Happy happy new year Mr. Bog....🤗👏
These videos are very well done. You deserve to be on television dude.
Thanks Dean! Much love
Another great video!!!
Hell yeah, Dean! Keep going.
P.s. consider adding a $3 option to patreon!
Wonderful videos, fantastic insight and delivery, and this episode includes some of my favorite people. Thanks for doing it.
Spent every summer growing up in the Burgh with my grandparents I went to Dilworth park every day and would talk to MR. Sharky then head to my Unc's house on Grace St. great times I miss it so much
Thank you for making these videos. They are really entertaining, and the quality is fantastic! I have visited Pittsburgh frequently throughout my life, and never really liked it. These videos really have given me a new appreciation for the city.
Keep it up man! Love the videos! I’m from Erie Pa. have always loved the city of Pittsburgh. I now have a 1 year old and a 4 year old. Going to be doing a lot of touring Pittsburgh this summer with them. Maybe and hopefully we will run into you!!!! Happy new year!
I love Pittsburgh your series is making me love it so much more!😍
This is fantastic! When I first moved into the city, I started out on Mt. Washington and you hit so much.
We really enjoy watching all of your videos. We would like to see you do a video of shady side.
Hey, you missed a big part of Mount Washington. You need to check out CHATHAM VILLAGE! It's a hidden gem up there!
Gonna binge your channel this weekend!! It’s up to us to keep our city clean!
These are seriously great!
Love everything Dean has ever made
Yo, I just moved to pittsburgh this past year and fell in love with the history and this is amazing! Def passing this around
Amazing work very impressive
Dean, you are doing an outstanding job. While I no longer live in Pittsburgh, PA (I am now a Texas girl -- Houston to be exact), my love will always be Pittsburgh where I was born, raised & educated. Keep up the good work!! I love your genuine sincerity in covering these very special neighborhoods. I see you accomplishing your goals regarding film.
love the series bro. im born and raised from pittsburgh--moving back this year---WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME MORE EXCITED!
Fantastic man! Seriously!! Thanks again.
Love your vids - you’re amazing at filming!!! You should think about making a video on STATION SQUARE!!! (Also not sure if u included this in downtown but there are canoes by the baseball field you can rent!!!)
Love your Cinematography style and point of view.
Love this series! Great work!! Bring the show out to Lincoln Place sometime!
As I mentioned on the first video I watched of yours I absolutely loved Pittsburgh. We walked everywhere including to the incline and around Mount Washington. Your video about The Run inspired me to go take walk around Pueblo, CO The Grove Neighborhood. Pueblo, CO is the second leading producer of steel behind you guessed it Pittsburgh. Greetings from Pueblo, CO GO BRONCOS :)
I will be moving to Mount Washington when I get the chance
Love your videos!!!
Best one yet bro, Love your work.
I'm born and raised on Mount Washington, It's one of my favorites spots
love the series dude
Love your videos my dude! Keep up that awesome work!
