Once one of the wealthiest places in America, with more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the world, Pittsburgh was responsible for building up so much of the country. Today, Pittsburgh's population is almost half of what it was in the glory days. Steel City is no longer dominant in steel production. But a reinvention took hold, and the local pride never left. Join me and the locals to learn about Pittsburgh's dramatic changes that have led to decay and renewal.

As a 39 year veteran truck driver who's been to 47 of the 48 contiguous states i contend Pittsburgh has the most dramatic entrance of any metro area in the U.S. Approaching from the south going north on I-376 you enter a tunnel that goes through a hill and under a neighborhood. When you exit the tunnel on the north end, POW! You're on the Fort Pitt Bridge with the beautiful skyline before you and 3 Rivers Stadium on your left.

@MSpencer1998 Месяц назад

Just to let you know, Three Rivers Stadium hasn't been around since 2001. It used to be right between where Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park are currently and PNC Park is another location with fantastic views of downtown.

Visited Pittsburgh for the first time in July 24. Originally from Glasgow Scotland and felt immediately at home, has that post industrial charm of an underdog city. I’ve been to a lot of major cities in the US and got to say Pittsburgh is my favourite and it’s not even close. The people, the pride, the warmth. To me it’s the only real city I’ve visited in the US in the last 8 years. Can’t wait to see what the future brings for it and can’t wait to come back. A total gem of a place.

But then again our Squirrel Hill tunnel and on ramp are studied by civil engineering College students as the three things not to do. Incline leading to a tunnel, on ramp right before off ramp and the narrowing of three lanes down to two all lead to some of the most unnecessary rush hour traffic in any city.😂😂😂 Gotta love Pittsburgh.

I'm a native who loves my city! Brian is definitely a typical, likable, working class yinzer. But, a lot of his "facts" were simply untrue. For example, the housing prices he kept referring to were more in line with prices at the turn of the century/early aughts. Housing in Pittsburgh is still less costly than in many US cities. But, they're significantly higher than he quoted. Also, the Jeep was invented and first manufactured in Toledo, OH, not Pittsburgh. There are other examples, but I won't belabor the point. IMHO, he would have been better as a 'man-on-the-street' interview rather than the host/Focal point of the story.

Whenever you went to the restaurants or shops, there was a great mix of different people of many backgrounds working with one another like they are also neighbors. You don't see that in many major cities nowadays. Then you have to wonder why the city really is the home of Mr. Fred Rogers. Really a city worth witnessing!

After exploring other places, we chose to buy a home in the War Streets/Northside to plant our roots and invest in this vibrant community because nowhere else felt quite like home. Having lived in various places, we find Pittsburgh incredibly special with its kind people (think Midwest kindness), amazing food scene, reasonable cost of living, vibrant art and music scene, and endless activities. We're proud and excited to be part of this wonderful city and call it home!

There are countless burroughs, townships and neighborhoods with things to see and do.

I'm from Sheffield, Steel City, UK twinned with Pittsburgh. There are a lot of similarities with the loss of the traditional steel works but its all gone into the high tech steel and engineering. Forgemasters in the old steel making east end of Sheffield is now owned by the UK ministry of defence and makes forgings for the UK navy, nuclear and aerospace. Boeing also has a factory here making aelerons. I find it strange how Pittsburgh's population shrunk so much to half of what it was while Sheffields has increased again since the job losses of the 70/80s. Love these rust belt videos.

@nialloneill5097 Месяц назад

But many of the jobs in the heavy industries near there went...especially up the Dearne and Don valleys...whose mines fed Sheffield with coal...strange how so many folk worked with their hands then ...but now they tend to sit at home or behind a desk somewhere...the Testosterone levels have plummeted...apart from those who now pump iron all day...the others oft do drugs in most places. Itriguing to see the fight and flight responses in men...What I really miss is the sense of purpose, camarderie, care, sharing...communal showers, banter...you worked with people you knew in most situations...they had your back...then came Thathcher, Neoliberalism, and global corporates...and with these...money was king, people were fodder...and back door colonialism and legalised crooks stole the wealth of the common people...now their towns are oft just shells pf what they were...no jobs, no nothing...hope has died in many places...since the 70s and 80s...it hit the Americal Midwest hard...and the places of heavy industry in S Yorks, S Wales, Scotland, and a few other places dotted here and there...all so the super rich could become even richer... and others could capitalise on these crooked ways to ensure their own security...f___ the rest. The impoverished places always seem to fight back though through neighbourhood schemes...and neighbourly love...I guess Christ and the Beatles were right after all...all you need is love!

I visited Pittsburgh for the first time almost exactly a year ago. Its a beautiful city. The people are really friendly and there's so much to see and do. One thing that surprised me is how amazing the food is. I went to Mt Washington, Squirrel Hill, and then about 15 minutes just north of the city. I love the free subway in downtown and the paid parts are pretty inexpensive. I love how easy the public transportation is to get from the airport to downtown and around the city. I also went to a Pirates game, it was fun. I'm really hoping to make it back someday. I love the whole state of Pennsylvania. It's a beautiful state.

I think what people miss about Pittsburgh is that the city has a population of 300k but the metro population is close to 2 million This implies that there’s a lot of commerce, encompassing around the abandoned wreckage of the Industrial Revolution. Gives you a perspective of just how vast the loss of industry was, an entire city emptied out.

Lived in the area most of my life. Pittsburgh is definitely a tech town now. It's still got the blue collar culture, but economically it's white collar these days. People who live here don't generally like to advertise it, but Pittsburgh is pretty consistently rated a top 5 most livable city in the country. Lots of people still think of it as this dirty steel town, but it couldn't be farther from that now. It's slowly coming back, but it's never gonna be what it used to be. I think it'll be something better.

Pittsburgh is a wonderful city, and a place like no other. Much of the people living here today have been raised in a working class family with working class values. Its a place with some heart and soul. A friend of the family always referred to Pittsburgh as the ditch... you can leave it but no matter how far and wide you go, you will always end up back in it.
