I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life, and you did such a great job of capturing nearly all the wonderful, quintessential things there are to do in the city. Pittsburgh is seriously so underrated- thank you for visiting!
It is underrated, I was also born there and live in a bordering county.
Pittsburgh is great. I visit when I can.
Yep totally agree!!l Another yinzer here 😂...We never get any praise for our uniqueness
Pittsburgh is beautiful and the people are
@@daveh9080 THEN LIVE HERE
I hardly EVER see a travel vlogger visit Pittsburgh and its many communities! It was a real treat to see my hometown visited by a CZcamsr!
Wolters World did some Pittsburgh vidoes in the last year
He did a respectful job
"Good Morning from a very bright and sunny Pittsburgh"
If only that happened more often
It happens more often than you think, it's just the grey seems to over power our minds.
@@producerk8247 decades ago...the sun never shone until noon! Even when there were no clouds above! The smoke and smog in Pittsburgh were almost as bad as Johnstown!! Except green trees grew in Pittsburgh. The pollution from the mills and Pennsylvania Mainline railroad killed all the trees in Johnstown. But since all the mills have been torn down and engines run on diesel....things are green like they were over a 150 years ago. And you can breathe the air!! If people ever needed to wear masks anywhere at any time it was definitely in those mill towns!! Roofs of the old houses still are orange-brown from the steel mills.
@@josephcernansky1794 Yes, I agree with you, it was a real pollution killer all around, but that was decades ago. I'm was talking about now, today, this decade.
@@producerk8247 According to the National Center for Environmental Information, Pittsburgh averages 59 clear days per year and 306 cloudy days. But to be fair, all of those cloudy days make the sunny days all the sunnier. 😊
@@KristianWontroba 59 Clear days, that refers to hardly any clouds in the sky. (Clear is defined by the NCDC as a day with zero to 3/10 average sky cover) Clear days are rare here yes, but sunny days with clouds are up to around 145 or more. Don't get wrong, I'm tired of grey, which is the norm here. Those days I just stay inside lol!!
The people of Western PA are real as hell. Much respect.
They're a little too soft around the edges speaking as someone raised in MA but they're certainly an alright lot.
Soft around the edges. ..
Come on dude.
Maybe you were hanging out where all the Sissy's are.
ie dem Lefty's .
Pittsburghers are a rough bunch.
We are ❤
We wear shorts in the winter. We're crazy. ❤
Yes we are 💯 thank you
The reason the colors of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers are black and yellow (technically Aztec gold) is because the colors are derived from the Pittsburgh city seal and flag, which in turn come from the coat of arms of William Pitt 1st Earl of Chatham, whom Pittsburgh is named after! This is the same reason why some of Pittsburgh's iconic bridges are gold as well! The Lawrenceville neighborhood was founded in 1814 by William B. Foster, father of composer Stephen Foster (known as the father of American music; wrote pieces like Oh Susanna, Camptown Races, and My Old Kentucky Home), who was born there in 1826. It is named for Captain James Lawrence, hero of the War of 1812, famous for his dying words, "Don't Give Up The Ship!", which he uttered during the capture of the USS Chesapeake in June 1813.
Besides the Duquesne Incline, there's also the Monongahela Incline! The Monongahela Incline is busier than the Duquesne Incline as the Monongahela Incline serves the Station Square entertainment complex and is easily accessible from the Station Square light-rail station! The Monongahela Incline opened in 1870 while the Duquesne Incline opened in 1877. Hungarian-American engineer Samuel Diescher worked on the Duquesne Incline while Caroline Endres (who ended up marrying Samuel) designed the Monongahela Incline with her father John Endres. Duquesne is in reference to Marquis Duquesne, who built Fort Duquesne at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers in 1754, while the name Monongahela comes from the Unami language and roughly translates to "falling banks". The Duquesne and Monongahela Incline stand out in that they're the only ones in the US that use 1524 mm gauge, a gauge grouped as part of 5 ft/1520 mm/Russian gauge, a track gauge standard used in places like Finland, Russia, and Mongolia! The gauge used to more common in the US as many railroads in the southern states used that gauge, but in 1886, around 11,500 miles of it were converted to 4 ft 9 in (1,448 mm) gauge.
I ❤ our inclines! That ride overlooking the rivers is one of a kind experience, especially in the brisk winter months....the crisp air is a refreshing wake up and the view is amazing! I ❤ our city and it's uniqueness....the tunnels, bridges, architecture, I would not want to be anywhere else
As a born and raised and still living in Pittsburgh since 1975, I appreciate your tour! Hope you come back
The glamorous turkey at 6:55 is an Ocellated turkey which is native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Belize, and northern Guatemala! Turkeys spend most of the time on the ground and often prefer to run to escape danger through the day rather than fly, though they can fly swiftly and powerfully for short distances when necessary, like wild turkeys in the US do (wild turkeys can fly up to 55 mph). When they roost, Ocellated turkeys roost high in trees away from night-hunting predators such as jaguars. The fluffy ones you saw at 7:01 are mountain goats! They're native to the northern Cascades and Rockies like Glacier National Park. Despite their name mountain goat, they're not in the Capra genus, which is the genus that contains all true goats. Instead, they're in the genus Oreamnos (which they're the only living member of) and they're more closely related to the takin and chamois. In the high-altitude environments, sometimes above 13,000 ft, they are the largest mammal! Mountain goats are powerful but nimble and can jump nearly 12 feet in a single bound, and weigh between 150 and 220 pounds. Their coats help them to withstand winter temperatures as low as −46 C and winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour!
The birds next to you at 11:02 are a Victoria crowned pigeon (the bluish-grey one; they're native to northern New Guinea) while the bigger one next to it is a Great argus! The Great argus looks similar an Indian peacock because both the Indian peafowl and the great argus are in the Pavonini tribe of the Phasianinae subfamily of the Phasianidae family, though not the same genus as the Indian peafowl are in the Pavo genus (along with the green peafowl) while the Great argus is in its own Argusianus genus! The great argus is native to the jungles of Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula! The Great argus got its name from Argus, the hundred-eyed giant from Greek mythology, a reference to the many eye-like spots on the Great Argus’s wings and tail!
the bird you had next to you that you said was "scary" is a Great Argus Pheasant named Gus! He has a partner named Mrs. Gus. I haven't personally seen it, but I've been told when he displays all his tail feathers, to try to attract Mrs. Gus - it's beautiful and quite colorful. I was also told that Gus' "woo OOO" can be heard for miles outside the Aviary 😮
I could go on and on about the individual birds there, but I hope you saw Wookiee, the 3-toed (fingered) sloth in the Tropical Rainforest, as well. He's one of my favorites ☺️
Pittsburgh: where the shortest distance between two points is under construction.
You can't get there from here.
That's is the best comment. I just said almost the same thing yesterday. I'm from Pittsburgh
Or up a stairway.
Apparently that's Universal around PA because over here in Montgomery County it's the same things....roads and bridges are literally down for years when they go under construction sometimes. PENNDOT needs to be investigated I swear there's some insane corruption or something.
I went to Carnegie Mellon University. Great place. Incredible museums, too.
Loved the video dude. I’m a fellow Brit and I’m keen to visit Pittsburgh and watch the Steelers! I just need to convince my wife now and think this video should help! 😊
You really should do it. I’ve been 5 times for games and it’s fantastic. Try to go early in the season though as it gets very cold after mid October.
i know its been two months since you commented but i really hope you're able to convince your wife! ive lived in the area for my entire life and i adore it more than words can express. theres something for everyone to do, whether you'd like to see a band live in a local venue or explore all the different ethnic restaurants that litter the city. i will warn you that the roads are notoriously awful and our sad excuse for a subway isn't the greatest lol
I just mentioned that you can go anywhere in the world and say “Pittsburgh” and everyone knows the steelers
I will be visiting Britain within the next year. Hope I enjoy it had you did my second home town of Pittsburgh. Where are in Britain are you from? I want to go to look where my ancestors came from.
Lose the dudetalk. It's cringe.
If you're ever back, check out St Anthony's Chapel. It houses the largest collection of Relics outside of the Vatican.
Glad yinz had a good time in Pittsburgh, come back soon!
yinz is plural, not singular - you're trying too hard
Yinz are welcome anytime! We definitely have our own language 😊
I gotta say, you are so naturally enjoyable to watch! Sincere, kind, and open minded to the diversity and adventure of life!
I love the video, I'm glad you had a great time here in Pittsburgh. As a local it was great seeing someone enjoy the lovely city I call home. Next time you come back you gotta try Primanti Bros Sandwiches 10/10.
In Pittsburgh we embrace the words of Mr. Rogers and be a good neighbor and treat everyone like a neighbor, his influence is why this city feels more like a smaller town.
That definitely rings true with my experience :) I felt so welcome and loved the place. Will definitely be back soon and primanti bros is going on the list! Thank you Aaron 🙌
@@TheWorstTraveller go to the Strip District location during the day. You'll get the authentic experience there.
I play music on Mt. Washington on weekends and sorry I missed you!
A great way to see the jumbled landscape for free is to ride the elevator to the top of the Cathedral of Learning and take in the view from all sides. Also try Luke Wholley's in the Strip District for a fun, authentic restaurant with plenty of character!
British accent really fancying up the description of Pittsburgh. Then during the fireworks you just hear in the background"WOOO FUCK YEAAH"...There ya go, thats Pittsburgh 😂
I had to go back and listen close, but I caught the "FUCK YEAH!!"😂😂😂😂😂😂 That was great😅 Appreciate you pointing that out✌️❤️🫡
What a great love letter to Pittsburgh. I attended school at the University of Pittsburgh back in the early 2000's and haven't been back since 2005. But this video has me really excited to take my wife and son and show them the city that i loved for 4 years. You also get a ton of credit for pronouncing places like Duquesne correctly (that one always trips people up).
Been in Pittsburgh all my life. Awesome job so showcasing our amazing city. We are a melting pot with something for everyone. Ty for sharing your visit
I'm impressed by this. You did a much better job highlighting the city than a few other creators I've seen. Most of the time you hear people mention the incline and Primanti's and call it a day. You really did some exploring, very nice
Personally, I think Primanti's SUCKS!! WAY OVER-RATED!! and your incline is small.
I'm a Brit that lives in Pittsburgh and it really is a great city. People are great, food is great, summer time the weather is very nice, it's small but it should deter people from coming. If you're ever back here, I'll make sure to take you to some bars hahaha
best city in the country. thanks for showcasing it. love from pittsburgh!
You’re so sweet to give a $10 tip ❤. My Dad probably 30 years ago told me always give $1.00 a bag or $1.00 a night in a hotel. I’m certain that probably translates to $3 or $5 today.
Your tip was generous, but really made someone feel appreciated and valued, which probably made you feel good as well.
My Dad believed so much in tipping and I’ve seen him tip $50 to a parking valet. I never saw, growing up, anyone come to our house to work on or drop off a pizza to our home without my Dad tipping a minimum of $20.
If you can afford it…it’s worth it.
I could hear his Pittsburgh accent.
From a home-grown Pittsburgher, THANK YOU for doing such a wonderful job showing off our city! You brought tears to my eyes with your genuine curiosity and enjoyment! Please come back again!
This was a lovely video of our beautiful city. Thank you! How wonderful that you got to experience First Night which is so much fun and has something for everyone - Just like Pittsburgh itself. Again thank you for this! ❤❤❤ Come back some day!! We miss you!
I'm glad this popped into my recommended videos! I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life and I've always believed it to be an underrated place to live. Our sports are world class and so is our hospitality. And the food and scenery isn't half bad either. I doubt I'll ever move from here
I live on the other side of the state, I think I need to drive the 4 hours and visit Pittsburgh now!
I do love a roadtrip! And it’s a pretty darn good destination to end up at :)
You MUST go back.... you did not get a Primanti Brothers sandwich!!! It will be worth the return trip!❤🎉
I spent a bit of time there in my final year of architecture school. This was a long time ago (1989-ish), but that city just vibed with me: the history, the terrain, the districts, and most of all the people - such cool people. Ever since that experience, I always told myself if I ever relocated away from my home town, I’d find a way to make a life in Pittsburgh.
Since it’s been more than a minute since my time there, this video was interesting as some things were familiar and some very new to me. Thanks for posting it!
Those were my dearest friends you had the chance to meet at Redbeard's! I know you helped make their new years a special one 💫💕 Peace and love be with your kind soul!
I was actually talking to Abby on Facetime as she came into the bar which was such a fun way to try to spend new years doing something fun
Come back in the summer. You can go to Kennywood.
Walk around the Strip District.
Go to Fallingwater.
Thank you so much for this great video. I’ve been to Pittsburgh three times last year and intend on moving there after I retire. You’ve shown places I’ve never heard of and am excited to visit this year. Thanks for your honesty and transparency in your reviews.
Check out Route 40 (Just south of Pittsburgh) and the Laurel mountains. We have so many places Ohiopyle, Jumonville Cross, Fort Necessity, George Washington's tavern, Falling Water (A Frank Lloyd Wright buit home), plus so much more. All within a small area....just beautiful.....we even have Amish that live there.
This was a great picture of Pittsburgh, where my family has lived since 1853. Unfortunate that you missed Primanti’s and Kennywood Park. Please do come back some time, and we will take you to a Steelers game and make a proper Yinzer of you! Some people call Pittsburgh the affordable San Francisco.
That sounds great!!!! I’ll go too!! 😂
Oh ya Kennywood just to see the historic land marks Merry Go Round, Racer, and Jack Rabbit but unfortunately closed in winter. You really need to visit in the summer and some of the live music festivals
@@AFL67pitt Do they still have the Halloween nights going on in November?
@@KMC1367Yup. Phantom Fright Night
@@AFL67pitt Don’t forget the Old Mill, Kennywood’s oldest attraction.
Back in the 1920s, President Litchfield wanted to build a skyscraper that would house the whole university, the Cathedral of Learning. The board of trustees wouldn't give him the funds, so he went to the city's school children. Kids all over Pittsburgh gave pennies and nickels to build the Cathedral of Learning. My dad was one of the contributors as a child. As an adult, going to law school, he went to class in the building as it was being built.
My grandpap was in 2nd grade in Lawrenceville & gave a nickel toward building the Cathedral!
Could you imagine spare change from children being able to fund a massive building like that now 😂
As a Pittsburgher I really think you did a nice, and fair, job. Glad you enjoyed.
Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities.
Thanks for visiting Pittsburgh! It's always interesting to me, as a local, that someone would choose to visit Pittsburgh as I wouldn't think it's on the radar of most international travelers (or even many domestic ones). Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for actually diving into our city and not the typical sites. You really encapsulated what we are about. I think the thing we are most proud of, is the overall friendliness of our people. Plan a trip, visit us, and make friends. Don't worry if you didn't see it all, you'll be back.
Pittsburgh is a great city with great people!
I moved here with my husband in 1998, Love this City!
"...and sence of community was incredibly wholesome."
A guy in the background "FUCK YEAH !!!!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think I just watched an episode of “This Is Your Life!” I went to high school with Randy Gilson, attended classes in the Nationality Rooms at Pitt, staffed a conference at the William Penn Hotel, and I rode the incline to Mt. Washington to propose to my wife at an overlook. I really enjoyed your vlog…yinz should come back to tahn soon!
I lived in Pittsburgh from 1957 to 2004 and it is so great to see you enjoying our beautiful city. You did a great job of showcasing so many wonderful things to see and do in the Burg! Glad you enjoyed your time here!
We love Pittsburgh! Randyland is just a wholesome, art explosion. We met Randy and had a great talk with him.
He was staying at the William Penn and went to a generic Five Guys (a California national burger franchise) for lunch?
No one told him about the Original Oyster House or Primanti Brothers?
Glad you enjoyed your time in the Burgh and thanks for showcasing my beautiful home.
Glad you enjoyed it here in Pittsburgh! Happy to call this city Home!
♥ Pittsburgh!
Awesome job sharing Pittsburgh!!
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed!
Glad you enjoyed it! American cities aren't in the best place right now unfortunately but Pittsburgh sticks out as one of the really great ones. Hopefully every American city can be more like Pittsburgh soon!
Great job. Pittsburgh gets a rap a lot of the time. Best blue collar city in America.
Ah man, as if I needed to add another US East Coast destination to my list😅 this looks like such a cool city!! Oddly had a conversation about US sports earlier today with a work mate and I fully agree with you - baseball is BORING! I gave it two goes, refuse to give it a third one. Nice video Tom, super informative - definitely could use as a guide or tick list for the visit. Fingers crossed one day I can do that as I make my way there! 🤞🏼
Ahh thank you Kora 🙌 haha you never know third time lucky?! I heard the atmosphere is quite fun at the Pittsburgh Pirates! If you’re ever planning a Pittsburgh trip send me a message and I’ll be happy to help :)
You opened my eyes to a city that I've known forever and obviously not much at all.
When in Pittsburgh, you're never really heading away from the river... You're just heading towards the next river.
Not from Pittsburgh but I am from PA. In fact I’m much closer to the Jersey shore than Pittsburgh. I must say I’m impressed with this vid. It was very enjoyable to watch and I never knew Pittsburgh was so lovely.
It's nice to see Pittsburgh being vlogged about. Many, especially coming from Americans still think we live in the past when it was steel mills and smog. Some say it's an ugly city with nothing to do or call us Pits-burgh. Obviously, that's not true. Thank you for visiting our city and shining a positive light on it and happy you enjoyed your stay.
Sad sidenote: Been here all of my life and only been to three of the places you have. Randyland being the most recent, 3 weeks ago. I don't get out much, but I plan on changing that real soon.
😊
Another great thing about Pittsburgh is that when you need a break from the city you can hop on a bicycle and ride one of the best bike trails in the country all the way from downtown Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland and then continue on an adjoining trail to
Washington, DC. If you're not into bibycling, it's a short drive to multiple state parks in the Laurel Highlands
I wish you could have experienced downtown on game day because when you were walking across the bridge talking about what you imagine its like on game day to not have a ticket, more like if you have a ticket its no big deal bcz the game is literally the whole city
People sleep on Pittsburgh, I've loved living here since I moved. The T-Rex skeleton is real. Carnegie is one of the locations which cares for a full in tact fossil model, most of the ones at other museums around the US are replicas.
I spent 6 weeks in this city while my dad was at the VA there. I'm from NY. I had a great time though. I felt like it was very clean, people were very friendly, very cool gothic architecture. Just a very warm atmosphere. 1 week was in the summer and it was a very cool time to see it. The other 5 weeks were winter, but a cool city for sure
Thank you for a wonderful tour of my city! I’m glad this video popped up on my recommended.
you were at my hotel!!!!!!! i would know that corner room anywhere!
ps: thank you for loving pgh so much. we need people like you to truly Realize how amazing and uniquely America. we really are,………..we maybe the last great American city left
Pittsburgh is a lovely city. I was just there last November for a wedding. The Cathedral is nice but if you have any anxiety over heights (like me) you may needs to just poke your head in the ground level.
I'm a Pittsburgher born and raised. And I watched this video just to see what you thought of the city. I'm glad that you liked it. But you really should come back in the summer , things are really hopping in the summer
You certainly packed a lot of activities into 4 days. Man, I got worn out just watching you. Very nice video hitting most of the main features of the city.
Great job touring “the city of bridges” more bridges in Pittsburgh than Venice.
I never see anyone visit to Pittsburgh. It’s nice to actually see
Glad you enjoyed your time here 🖤💛
Well done. As a business traveler who has visited all of North America, much of Europe, a bit of the pacific rim, and lived in “the ‘burgh” for over 40 years, i am so proud to call this place home. 4 days does not do western Pennsylvania justice, but glad you came and hope you will consider returning.
I've lived in Pittsburgh for almost 20 years. Thank you for making this beautiful video! I love living here!
What a wonderful tour you had in Pittsburgh. Come back in the Summer and see the Three Rivers art festival and the best festival in the US, Picklesburgh
Wow great video - and you only visited the attractions. You would have been blown away by the neighborhoods. Pittsburgh is a city of many neighborhoods due to rivers and mountains that separate them. I am 75 and I grew up here - travelled some and retired briefly to Florida , but my heart was back in the 'burgh so I came home to stay. Thank you - you did a good job.
Love the Worst Traveller Awards, poor Dodo missing out again 😅 great video. Some amazing architecture in Pittsburg
Thank you Martin! I know 🥲 it’s always ‘where is dodo?’ And never ‘how is dodo?’ 😭😂
You did a very kind tour of Pittsburgh's main attractions. I think you would have enjoyed the long gone Civic Arena. Wikipedia says: Constructed in 1961 for use by the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera (CLO), it was the brainchild of department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann. It was the first retractable roof major-sports venue in the world, covering 170,000 square feet (16,000 m2), constructed with nearly 3,000 tons of Pittsburgh steel and supported solely by a massive 260-foot-long (79 m) cantilevered arm on the exterior.
I saw the Moody Blues in concert there and they opened the roof to view a starlit night. Incredible show in the 70s.
Awww, I loved this video! I've lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and rarely, or have never, seen or been to the places you visited! I'm glad you enjoyed our city and thank you for the tour! ❤
You need to get out more Cindy!
@@johnmcnulty4425You're right, I really do! But home is so comfy and I actually like all the people there lol
I moved here in 2003 with my family. Love this place. My sister and her family came to visit with us one summer and they said Pittsburgh was their most enjoyable family vacation. Thanks for visiting.
я люблю Пенсивальнию!считаю этот штат самым лучшим в США!
I was born and raised in the Burgh. Great video! I was surprised you didn't visit Primanti Brothers for a sandwich or eat pierogis. Awesome work! 😉👍
Absolutely loved your tour! Thanks for visiting Pittsburgh!
I have been to Pittsburgh many times and you did a great job of showing off the city that I always tell people is one of my favorites to visit. The people are so friendly and the atmosphere is so comfortable to familiarity.
Fellow Brit here. I have family in the US, and one of my cousins lived in Pittsburgh for several years. I visited her there a number of times, and totally fell in love with the city! Certainly very much overlooked by British tourists, even though BA used to have a daily flight there from Heathrow using a 747. The flight did make a stop in DC first, where sadly it seemed most passengers disembarked. If only they'd known what delights awaited them if they'd stuck around for that final short leg of the flight!
P.S. I don’t think Randyland was there when I used to visit. But if it was, and my cousin suggested we should go there, I'd think she was talking about taking me to some sort of strip club!
Point park has a neat history center. The science center across the river has fun events. I miss the Pink Floyd laser shows.
I lived in P-burgh for several years.
I love Mt Washington at night.
Well done, British Guy. Thanks for visiting Pittsburgh, the "Sheffield" (or maybe Newcastle) of America! 🙂
New Castle is a little different over an hour north of Pittsburgh
@@JBG1968 I believe he was referring to Newcastle in England, which is an industrial city similar to Pittsburgh
I know , just a dumb joke
I live on the outskirts of Pittsburgh and let me tell you I’d say you’ve explored the city better then me😂😂
Hello worst Traveller, I'm Dennis Daniels from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about visiting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
Hello Dennis! Nice to meet you :) I’ve never been to Ohio but would love to visit one day 🙌
They filmed scenes from Silence of the Lambs at Soldiers and Sailors Museum and rhe Natural History and Art museum. Dark Knight was filmed dat Mellon Institute next to Cathy
This is awesome! ❤❤ I live in Pittsburgh and I’m glad you enjoyed it here.
Thanks for sharing the loveliness of our city. Pittsburgh is a great place to be from it informs the character of those who are raised here. So happy you had a great time. Amazing that our city has a cathedral of learning, which houses rooms of all nationalities. Speaks to who we are and how respecting all forms of community. Come back!
🌼From the Northern Panhandle of 🏞West Virginia in Appalachia🏞, so we enjoy the myriad delights of Pittsburgh, for sure❣
Thanks for sharing your visit to my city!! I’ve lived here now almost 25 years now. Glad you enjoyed your time here!!
New subscriptier, Pittsburgh, born and raised!! Thank you! Our city is awesome!!!
Just came across your channel. Great video. Western Pa guy here too. Pittsburgh is a great city
You went to all of the best places, showing the best of the city.
Nice to meet you, Tom!
Thanks for the kind words and sentiments! Next time, connect with a local and hit up some hidden gems and more history
I will 100% be back soon! Such a great city and one I knew nothing about before arriving - excited to learn more :)
Tom, you had a great time on your trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
By the end of the video, you learned the name of all three rivers... Bravo, great video. Good luck with what you do.
I live in pgh. That fireworks display was so much smaller than they used to be. They would tower over the city and were aimed above the river. So MT Washington was a great place to view them. I mean we could watch them 20ish miles away from our from porch along the river. Back when zambelli used to do them mt. Wash was a madhouse. Still a beautiful visit. Thanks for covering the city❤
they looked lame
I love PGH so much. I can't wait to go back. This was a great overview. You missed the Mister Rogers statue though - the most special spot in the city. ❤
Wow, you did more in 4 days than I have done in 45 years. Someone gave you a really good to-do list. I hope you come back in spring or fall sometime - truly our best seasons, and there's plenty more to do (the zoo, 85 other neighborhoods that you hadn't seen yet, Church Brew Works, Kennywood amusement park, and as much parkland combined as Central Park - but natural, not landscaped!). Trivia: we don't have any hills in Pittsburgh, despite what your eyes (and calves) may tell you - only valleys. We're a part of the Appalachian Plateau, an ancient flat seabed upthrust millions of years ago, and then carved down by our numerous streams, creeks (pronounced 'cricks') and rivers, much like the Grand Canyon. Next time you fly in or out, look at the horizon line - it's as flat as a pancake, and the terrain looks like massive quilt. You could see how much fun you were having - come back soon for more, please.
Oh nooo!!! He said Black and Yellow. It’s Black and Gold. 😂👍
Exactly!!!!! Black&GOLD
Amazing video! As someone who grew up in Pittsburgh, you really captured the spirit of the city. The only thing you missed was the Mattress Factory, another amazing and quirky museum that's right near Randyland. Next time!
The burgh and it's people are amazing!!!! Yinz gotta visit to believe it. Oh.....Did I mention Kennywood?
