Hey "Yinz"! Born and raised in the Burg. I retired as a Fire Fighter there. Moved to Florida numerous yrs then got homesick and moved back. It's a place of its own and lots of love❤
I'm from Pittsburgh born and raised I lived in Charlotte NC for 10 years. I'm moving back in a few more months I'm excited I miss (Da Burgh) aka Pixburgh lol
@ thank you I can’t wait to get back to Pittsburgh. I agree with your comment in regards of Pittsburgh. It’s a gem you noticed what you had once you move away 😢
The reason it feels so much bigger than it is, is because at one time it was more than twice its current population and not too far off from San Francisco’s population. Just like many other cities along the rush belt, population peaked between the early and mid 20th century. Most of the rust belt cities were strong in the manufacturing sector. Pittsburgh was once known as the capital of steel manufacturing. Eventually many factories shut down causing many to flee to other areas for jobs. This also resulting in a major decline in population. However in recent years Pittsburgh has stabilized and has somewhat reinvented itself as a hub for education, tech and healthcare.
As a Pittsburgher thanks for all the love ! Glad you were enjoying yourselves! Awesome ! Just happen to be typing this as ur making the food comments. We have sone great food here from all the cultures. I was even saying to mysef as you were forced to turn bc that street was blocked off. Best thing would have been to find a parking spot and walk to and down that blocked street. Probably had some great food and things to buy or going on and could have spent an hour easily. That would have been a super slice of Pittsburgh!!! ❤
I lived on 3rd Ave,for 30 yrs,1955 to 1985 never ever saw my neighborhood on a video before great work.^5I have sent this to all my friends that I grew up with Plus family members.✌️
You are correct about Pittsburgh, mainly being white and black. The diversity among white people is spot on (Italian, Irish, Polish). Beechview is becoming a Latin community. Squirrel Hill is Jewish, and Squirrel Hill and Oakland is Asian.
I’ve lived in Pittsburgh all my life. Glad you guys came here to show the burgh. Yes it’s a fun drive lol. Try the fort Pitt tunnels next time hahaha. You have 3 -4 seconds to make a decision on 5 different exit
often overlooked is the fact that the city limits have not changed in the last 100 years, and only cover a small area of about 55sq miles. While the city of Pittsburgh ranks 68th in population, the metropolitan area population of Pittsburgh ranks 27th with 2.4 million. When you compare it to cities that outranked it in population like Oklahoma City and Nashville with sq mileage well above 450 you understand that’s it’s not as small as most people think
When you have a green arrow pointing left you can make a left turn without needing to yield to oncoming traffic. Oncoming traffic will have a red light.
They used to have a Chinatown, but they got pushed out and moved to a different neighborhood. There is a Chinese restaurant left where it was that is great.
I'm from Pittsburgh it is a beautiful state thank you for noticing it. A lot of people like to keep their parents close to them in the neighborhoods usually those high-rise buildings are full of elderly people. Some people that live in the neighborhood
I'll take Pittsburgh and it's 3 rivers over Philadelphia any day of the week. Amazing town Pittsburgh. Btw, everything between Pittsburgh and Philly is the functional equivalent of Alabama.
54:39 yayayayaya yinz are in the strip district in Pittsburgh!! That's where the natives go to enjoy ourselves. Definitely should have stopped and walked around there. You'll find things to buy. Plenty of bars, craft beer, craft drinks, and any type of cuisine you want !!
Yeah, wow Jose, I'm here in Silicon Valley. Some of these down town shots look similar to parts of downtown SanFrancisco. Is all of this Pittsburgh? I love it, such character.
When you first came in the downtown area with the big buildings. That building on the right hand side with the big stone that looks like a castle. That is the jail. The downtown area was actually built around that city
We're classy but not arrogant? Aww, thanks man. I never heard it put that way, but it sounds right. My guess about the balance you mentioned is the influences of both working-class (so often Pittsburghers talk about our parents and grandparents working in the mills, mines, railroads, etc.) ethics and above-average education. And a value for common sense. Like many southern areas, you'd be sorely mistaken to confuse a particular accent or dialect with lack of intelligence.
Terrible video. You talk about how you love this city but really all you did the whole time was criticize everything you saw. Maybe doing some research before going there.
The stop light with the Green Arrow is a {protected left turn}(oncoming traffics light is red at this time).....once you have a solid green , oncoming Is Green , and if you want to turn left , you have to make sure oncoming traffic is clear for a left turn.
You can make a right turn at an intersection with a red light,but you have to come to a complete stop then make the right turn. if you just turn right without stopping, you can get a ticket in your mail or by the police if any present at the intersection.
I hope you made it back to Pittsburgh the next day to explore more!? The route you took and the turns you made were not all that appealing. It’s a lot better than what video showed. I’m not blaming you since you don’t know any better and was just winging it….but I was yelling at my tv which turns you should make. 😂 glad you enjoyed what you did get to see here!
I had a feeling you were going toward Pittsburgh when you were in West Virginia I've watched a lot of train videos the one from Chicago to Washington DC goes that way through Pittsburgh and West Virginia I'm guessing you're probably going to Cleveland just a guess. Only 14 minutes into the video right now watching on my TV I like it so far Jose
You started at in Carnegie which isn't Pittsburgh. Then you went into Heidelberg which is not a suburb of Pittsburgh. Anything with a zip code of 152 is Pittsburgh.
If you see 3 people in Florida with black jackets with hoodies I will think they are going to rob me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so truthful, Jose tres no wayyy....only one for sure he is going to rob you!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂...well that's the price we pay for living in Sunshine State!!!! Me mataste!! Gracias por estas vacaciones de weekend en mi couch 🛋️!! Love it!!
Thanks for showing my home it’s nice here. Did you enjoy the city? Oh and she is kind of wrong that could happen in real life I’m from the hood and have seen it happen!
Never cared for Pittsburgh since the band played there and our Lodging was broken into! 😳😳 Good thing most valuabes were on the gig with us. Never been back or care to, besides, those hills are deadly! 👎👎👎👎👎
Aw, sorry that happened. Do you remember where you were? A lot of areas are pretty safe. I know tons of people that even leave their doors unlocked. Although there are bad people anywhere you go, I think more are pretty decent. I hope if you come back, you have a better experience and feel welcomed!
One thing I noticed driving through Pittsburgh years ago was like everyone smoking,I see you noticed that too.Interesting city but would never live there!!
It probably wouldn't be your kind of cuisine but You are probably going west from there anyway. If you were going east back toward Harrisburg and Philadelphia somewhere around Lancaster PA the largest buffet in the United States breakfast lunch and dinner and it looks good. It's called Lazy Maple
Amtrak's going to start a new route soon Chicago to Florida it takes this route from Chicago to Washington and then Washington to Miami the same route silver Star takes
Do you guys have Phumonia? You both are coughing at the end of each sentence. It's distracting. Take some cough syrup before you do one of these videos.

Same! Moved back recently from Florida after 14yrs. So glad I'm back home, missed "Yinz"❤

You didn't notice how he started in Carnegie and then headed for Heidelberg
Yinzers definitely have accents n'at! Did you ever make it over to the North Shore near the stadiums? Glad you dug the burgh - our hometown.

I grew up I'm Carrick. It was white n black, now packed full of Indians. So weird going back there now.

The best way to enter Pittsburgh is through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and over the Fort Pitt Bridge.

Pittsburgh is good but Philly has more stuff to do. Plus it has a higher walk score which means it’s more walkable
Alabama? 😳😳😳😳😳
@@MsRhondaRandy There’s an old joke that I remember even from back in the 90s. Some people would jokingly say outside of Philly it’s PennsylTucky
@@ramencurry6672 No, it really doesn't. Especially safely.
@@SportsSharp412 it actually does have a higher walk score. Look it up
I love my home city. Very different than when i grew up in the 80s n 90s but still feels like home.
Pittsburgh used to advertise itself as the Paris of Appalachia, back in the 50’s or 60’s.
Good video. I enjoyed watching 😮
I enjoy these high-quality videos. I would love to see drive tours of the industrial areas of the US.
Yay you made it first video in Pittsburgh

Its famous for steel production. If you fly over at night, you can see the steel pots where there are melting the metals
LOL, sure dude.
Yeah, wow Jose, I'm here in Silicon Valley. Some of these down town shots look similar to parts of downtown SanFrancisco. Is all of this Pittsburgh? I love it, such character.
That persistent loud coughing straight into the microphone is super annoying....you should do some editing guy..
You can’t edit a hour long 4K video without crashing your phone and editing software
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Oh, sorry, I thought this was a pro operation.

How could you possibly know how all of us act? I have lived all of my life.
I must admit, you sound like someone from the farm seeing the city
Your cough is horrible! All of the babbling between you two, combined with the coughing is nerve-wracking! Good bye!
Glad you enjoyed it
When you comin to portland maine?
We were there like 2 years ago, maine was fun.

Do you know anyone who lives in the Mid-Atlantic or the Northeast?
Couple more hours driving and you can visit New Jersey and New York.
Atlantic City New Jersey a cool place to visit
Not during winter, your just gonna sightsee Vagrancy and Neglect
East End Pittsburgh girl here! Grew up in Pt. Breeze, Homewood and Shadyside.

Yes you made it to the steeler nation area can you Cleveland Ohio too.? It’s only 2 hours away
Cleveland Ohio would be cool… but he needs to go to Springfield to hang out with the Haitians 😆
@@victorjimenez3504 both
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSlet’s goooooo your killing it
Charleroi PA, just south of Pittsburgh is packed full of Haitians also. It's wild.
My favorite part of the video was you getting stuck at all of the same red lights I routinely get stuck at 😅. Can’t even escape them online
😂😂
vinny been lookin for yinz!!
where yinz at?!!
What’s after Pennsylvania buddy
A return southward thru ohio
I love Pittsburgh. The western part is hilly like San Francisco. Wonder how it is to drive in the winter
My thoughts exactly. The city has to tighten up salt truck action daily with those scary ass hills! No thank you.😊😊
it is bad, I used to drive uber on a snow day in the south hills and it was scary

Dude, largest city in Appalachia.......😂🤣😅
What is your obsession with Appalachia?
Getting paid
They make the best videos
you have to have a good sturdy car for the harsh winters there.
Lots of people have winter beaters. Literally junk cars specifically for winter driving. I don't, but all my vehicles are 4x4
It is sad how many places in the United States look old and tired.
I live in florida and say the same thing about the people every day
If you drive 5 more hours east you be in NYC
More like a 7 hour drive

@@jasonjpierrethevideoeditor2670 5-6 Hour depending on Traffic
@@earthalex1707 Okay. Cuz I spent 1 hour in that traffic from Staten Island to Queens New York heading to Freeport 7 months back.
OK great video but the coughing makes it unwatchable
Shots of cough syrup.
I love these travel videos I have been to 31 States myself back in my days a lot of them hopping trains back in the late 80s
We’re working so hard for you guys. 🙂
1:04:38 You were actually driving North of Downtown on I-279 Towards Ross park.

I like more Roanoke, thanks 🙏. Guys be safe!!
I hope your cough is better by now.
My cough got way worse when I visited there. I think there's something residual from the pollution or something that sets me off
You need to make it up to Albany, Syracuse, Utica New York there’s lots of run down areas to drive around
Yayy Pittsburgh. I like compact city :) Sister city with Da Nang
Are you being funny
I love pitt one my fav big cities. Alot of good grub too
Worst hoods in Pittsburg? I hear it’s pretty rough
It's laid out weird. Some of the best inner city neighborhoods are right next to the worst neighborhoods.
You should visit Utah SOMEDAY (:
I would love to.. you do know thats far as crap tho
@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS true but you just visited Colorado before so I think u can ;)
Dude!!!! Get that cough checked out!!!!!!!!
My cough got a lot worse when I visited Pittsburg. For people with sensitive sinuses there's something that sets them off there.
You started at in Carnegie which isn't Pittsburgh. Then you went into Heidelberg which is not a suburb of Pittsburgh.

easily a bigger downtown than Miami. No question
