What you're doing is amazing. You're giving a prospective and insight into Pittsburgh that everyone can enjoy and appreciate. Way to be Rick Sebak 2.0!
And also being from Pittsburgh I'm actually loving someone from TH-cam actually taking some time and learning about Pittsburgh because we are a slept on city. Love this keep up the good work!
Thank you!!! I went to South High , left Pittsburgh in 84. I now live in NC but miss Pittsburgh ! The Pretzel Shop , that was my Aunt and Cousin!! What a wonderful look at South Side!
At my local Aldi there is always this one kart that is left unlocked in case someone doesn't have a quart. When your finished the next person just leaves it unlocked and parks it in the same place.
I love the south side yes yes yes!!!! I seen rick sebak at light up night last night and told him how incredible your channel is and how brilliant you are I really hope he checks out your videos!!! Have a great weekend! 👏👏🤗👏👏
Great episode. My Southside was the Southside of the early-mid 1990's. We would hang at the Beehive and go to Randy's Alternative Music or the Eye of Horus bookstore (an occult bookstore) or one of they many other bookstores or neat shops along East Carson. Friday and Saturday nights my friends sat at the round table by the door at the Beehive and met tons of interesting people. I remember there was an Eides of March parade with fire breathers one year. I am glad I got a chance to experience that Southside. It was a great time to be a part of.
These videos will go down in Pittsburgh history will hopefully be made into a dvd or sold as one or put on PBS or something these videos are amazing keep them up theirs so many neighbors to do still
My stomping grounds. In the early 1990s, we writers and artists adopted Southside as OUR neighborhood. The Beehive was the young coffee shop (before evil Starbucks) where we bought tea and coffee for pennies while creating zines, writing stories, drawing the future. Gen-X is often considered to be the apathetic generation, but in fact, we were the first generation to suffer neoliberal austerity as the city reeled from the depression of steel mill closures. We used art and real life connections before the internet to survive and grow. One more tidbit. The building that houses Iron City Circus Arts is called The Brewhouse. It was once home to Duquesne Brewery. When the company closed and the building went abandoned, many of our artists squatted in the factory. After the cops kicked them out multiple times, the artists finally got the city to sell them the building cheap. It's now a loft apartment building with dedicated art spaces. I lived there for a year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good job, as always, Dean.
Right on, Ron. The Beehive in the 90’s was the tits. Mon valley gen-xer here, and musician. we did get the ass end of the stick, but we make beautiful things. There was a guy there, always beat me at chess.
Hey Dean, Pittsburgh born and bread. And i love what ur doing, showing all our city how it needs to be seen. As living areas of all different kinds of people that make up this crazy/beautiful/unique city of ours
I love this and my love of the burgh is so deep ,dude you gotta come to Homestead,so much history Carnegie library the steel mills the Homestead Greys,this area is rich in culture,and we have our elder mayor Miss Betty Esper !
I’m so glad I stumbled across this. I’m trying to move to Pittsburgh to be near my brother. Now I can decide which neighborhood I should move too hahah.
Omg, you used my clip!! Aaaahaha!! I'm the white van lady!! I am absolutly loving these videos, btw! Started watching for Pittsburgh and keep watching for your amazing filmmaking:) Rick Sebak, indeed!! You're a star!
These videos have kept me busy all day. Absolutely love how you have shot these, makes me emotional and so happy to be a pgh resident when i see videos like this!
Nick's imports is a gem of a store. He sells things direct from Morocco. Everyone should stop in to find something interesting to give as presents for the Holidays.
LOL, L...You are so Rich in Who You are and what you Share, Thanks. Farmers markets sound good! OH and some more LOL's. Your videos and sound are so mesmerizing and so appreciated. God bless your bike. LOL LOL LOL You have such a great sense of humor. Thanks for sharing all your funny stories with me and everybody!
Love your neighborhood series every episode is amazing ,please please do the Arlington neighborhood it's full of city steps and history and has a park with amazing trails and a plateau ........
Hope to see you on “The Island” sometime in the near future. I’ve only lived down here for about 18 months, but it’s an absolute hidden gem. I’m a stones throw from the entire area, but next to the township building, I’m in a quiet family oriented neighborhood that’s peaceful and serine.
I was a touring musician for 14 years. My best friend was a bass player from Pittsburgh, Brookline. Norman Hogel was his name. He’s gone now and I miss him dearly. I’m from Florida but grew to love Pittsburgh, it was a long time ago and the drink of the day was a shot-n-a-beer. Great memories of Pittsburgh.
I want you to know that I have been watching your vids recently, but I finally subscribed at 5:07 of this vid. Remarkable to include Karwoski's. I used to live in the house that is connected to Karwoski's rear wall. Well done, sir.
You're a true artist. You are too Dean. I was talking about Pittsburgh is a work of art. I dont think anyone could get away with :"the neighborhoods of Buffalo or, let's say, Cleveland." I think the way Pittsburgh is built into hills makes it so unique. My buddy from LA and I were up at a party on the Northside at a place called The Castle back in the 80s. We could see all of downtown from up there and he commented on how cool it looked and kind of reminded him of the North Hollywood hills were he lived. I took it as a compliment.
These are the best , do a Highland park , I lived there for 5 years was young with a really low paying job waitering in restaurants, life was such a struggle ,it takes one to such a dark place had to move back to where I am from, that was 30 years ago but I do enjoy going back to Pittsburgh take my son to Steel city and go to Eides ,Ken is the man at Eides, keep them coming brother you got a lot of ground to cover, anybody remember the Metropol ??? Stay Safe , Dave at 53.
Metropol was the place to be in 90's. I can still remember... Things didn't start kicking until around midnight. You would leave and your entire outfit stank of cigarette smoke. Donzis was right down street and good for a causal drink along the river.
I guess the pretzels are what define the Southside, besides all the bars. Well, I'd have to say Lee's Coffee Shop is what really impressed me with the video. It looks like such a nice comfortable place to be.
Richard Porter Good Luck Dude. I’m a VT transplant & gotta advise you to be wary that Pgh is an acquired taste, haha. That’s coming from a native Burgher. GO STEELERS!!!
I’m watching all of these as I get ready to move to Pittsburgh. I love these videos! But seeing the bowl in your friends house at the end gave me hope of a good weed community there. Can you speak to that in general?
Dean, love this stuff! I’m living in NJ now, but consider Pittsburgh my home! Keep up the great work! Show more Bar11 (and Rob) next time he’s my buddy! ;)
Dude you should definitely do Munhall/ Homestead! Love the series! Provides a really cool perspective Pittsburgh especially for people who live here...
your videos are the best thing ive seen in so long. watching these when im going in school in philadelphia makes me so happy :) you should do squirrel hill next !!! i grew up next to frick park
You should check out Carnegie. It's a crossroads, where I79, 376, Rt50, and the busway all come together. Historically, it was known for churches and bars. Today, we still have great bars like the Pour House and Alexions, but we also have Wine and Mead made locally. Russian, Ukranian and many other churches are still going strong, with new additions like the Karma Banquet Center and Attawheed Islamic Center breathing new life into old church properties in this multi-cultural melting pot. Carnegie was a steel manufacturing hub, and while some heavy production remains, we now have tech companies and startups moving in, often re-purposing old buildings like the Salvation Army. Carnegie has a booming restaurant scene with hot spots like Bakn and Leo Greta joining old favorites like Gab N Eat. Even the old Carnegie Post Office building has been redone into a hip coffee shop. Minutes from town, minutes from the airport, Carnegie is much more than an exit on the highway!
This is great. Can't wait to see your other videos since I'm thinking about Pittsburgh as my next hometown. But do you seriously just leave your bike propped against something?
I got to say man I love the videos you do a good job of showing off the different parts of Pittsburgh it's been a very cool series I'm happy I found your channel as a fellow Pittsburgh TH-camr I do mostly gaming
Man I was born and raised on the Southside what you are talking about comes from the earliest I would say most of my friends that are born and raised there can tell you so much more like me but other than that good video
Greenfield has beautiful views of Pittsburgh, people who have lived here, in their family homes, into their 90's, and moving into the neighborhood, are families with small children. A lot of people walking their dogs. We have a great shop with essential oils, with an in house expert on healing. You might want to do it together with Squirrel Hill. Then you can include the Hot Yoga studio and small shops, like Amazing Books. I almost forgot to mention - your videos are well done, fun and super informative. Thank you! I would like to see a video on the Improv theaters in Pittsburgh. Steel City Improv, Arcade Comedy Theater, Caberet (on Thurs nights at 10pm), and more. I don't think such a video has been done.
What you're doing is amazing. You're giving a prospective and insight into Pittsburgh that everyone can enjoy and appreciate. Way to be Rick Sebak 2.0!
U nailed it spot on classic rick sebak style just about every episode at some point... Food!
Neighborhoods is the best TH-cam series of all time!!!
Agreed best series on TH-cam
That’s what I been saying since his first episode! 👌🏽
These videos are very honest. You don't see that on this platform too much anymore. Best YT series? Yea:)
0:17
as someone who was born and raised in pittsburgh (and still lives here) THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!
haley kumpf me too!
I was born at Magee Hospital (1959) and lived in Murrysville until 1979. Still miss and love PA. Great videos!
And also being from Pittsburgh I'm actually loving someone from TH-cam actually taking some time and learning about Pittsburgh because we are a slept on city. Love this keep up the good work!
❤❤❤
Thank you!!! I went to South High , left Pittsburgh in 84. I now live in NC but miss Pittsburgh ! The Pretzel Shop , that was my Aunt and Cousin!! What a wonderful look at South Side!
I forgot my Aldi quarter today, but I remembered this video so I used yours! Thanks!
At my local Aldi there is always this one kart that is left unlocked in case someone doesn't have a quart. When your finished the next person just leaves it unlocked and parks it in the same place.
I'm definitely visiting these places when I move to Pittsburgh!
As an old South SIder, you caught the essence and paid a fine tribute. Thank you
I love the south side yes yes yes!!!! I seen rick sebak at light up night last night and told him how incredible your channel is and how brilliant you are I really hope he checks out your videos!!! Have a great weekend! 👏👏🤗👏👏
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, I recently moved to Florida, so seeing this is very nostalgic and heartwarming for me. So thank you that...

It’s so awesome that all these people allow you to come into their life, to their world, and just observe.
Have been binge watching this guy. Should be a Netflix special or something. Definitely raising the bar for TH-camrs
Great episode. Whats next? Shady Side, Squirrel Hill?
Amazing doc!! I loved the music that kicked in at the start too!
Haha i might actually use that quarter sometime, i always forget mine! 😂
I've never been to Pittsburgh, but South Side Flats seems like the trendiest suburb. Thanks Dean for such a great job!
It's not a suburb, just a neighborhood of the city
These are my new favorite documentaries. Reminds me of the old days in my town. Don’t let em wreck it.
Really love what you're doing. I'm a new fan!
Dude!!! Awesome content showing the heart of a place and the hidden beauty seen from your perspective. Thanks!

Hello Dean great work and amazing filming !

Dean - love your stuff. How about an episode on Pittsburgh’s bets dive bars?!?!? We’d love to have you come in where I work.
Dean, love this stuff! I’m living in NJ now, but consider Pittsburgh my home! Keep up the great work! Show more Bar11 (and Rob) next time he’s my buddy! ;)

Very unforunate that the Pour House is gone by now because of the recent fire😥
Oh my god HOW DID I JUST FIND YOU! 😍😍
Enjoyed this 👍🏻
This is great. Can't wait to see your other videos since I'm thinking about Pittsburgh as my next hometown. But do you seriously just leave your bike propped against something?
What are you doing next weekend! I will be in Pittsburg :)
Dean we need some of your amazing video brah! I know you got injured but I hope you mended up. bust some moves homie!

Can you consider going to Brookline?
Great work as always!
Was just at HofbrauHaus and they’re putting a giant apartment building in that empty green lot. 🤨
Have you did a video for Belrzhoover?
Dean! Hitting up all my favorites
