What I love about Sharpsburg is that if you cut out and picked up the entire neighborhood and dropped it into the middle of PA, it would just be any other little PA town. Its really amazing how its so self contained and that you barely notice that downtown is 3 miles down the river.
@@DeanBog I'm a UK citizen and live in Sheffield - The original steel city :) I love your videos and have recently developed a strong interest in Sheffield's twin city Pittsburgh - Currently saving to visit! AFIK nothing similar you've done documenting Pittsburgh has ever happened here in Sheffield. Your idea is clear, simple, unique and your videos are professionally narrated and presented - skills unfortunately I don't posses. I know you like to travel and so if ever you come over to UK please please get in touch!
@@DeanBog hey man, Highland Park would be cool to see. Then move on down through those neighborhoods which you might've already have done. East Liberty, Larimer, Morningside, and anyones you haven't done there. Still a lot of "soul" left in those areas, despite the gentrification of parts surrounding Google.
So glad you did Sharpsburg!! It seems like you get a lot of footage. I would love to see longer videos, even if they are farther apart. You do great work and there's so much to learn about each neighborhood. These videos will be artifacts some day
Thank you! That last bit is perhaps the nicest compliment I've ever received in all seriousness. I suppose I don't want to slow down because there are a lot of neighborhoods to cover. And 10 mins is about all I can manage to put together in a week.
This is awesome I’ve lived in Sharpsburg for all my life (32 years) . Great little neighborhood. So glad you were able to get our boxing gym in here one of the best parts of this town. Also the Sharpsburg Facebook posts, absolutely hilarious some people in that group are just absolutely bat shit crazy so that wasn’t surprising they thought you were a pedophile. Again good stuff
Thank you! I found the boxing gym really cool. If I was a kid growing up there that would be my spot to blow off steam. Yeah the facebook post was certainly funny/upsetting but I can understand the concern.
@@DeanBog my dad started the gym. Thank you for including it. My mom grew up in Sharpsburg, & met my dad there (after a boxing workout). She’s gonna love this video. My grandparents lived their whole life in Sharpsburg.
Dean, The work in all your videos I've viewed is fantastic, even outside of Neighborhoods. You clearly have a wonderful grasp of the art form. It's my hope that you come to realize and accept that what has set your Neighborhoods series apart from the rest of your features is not only your skills with a camera and software, but it is you. YOU are the star, and you are the star because of your ability to make the people you speak with the star of THEIR segment. You grant them comfort, audience and joy in their fifteen seconds of fame. That's the formula that makes these little moments so special. The flip side being that in a world of sensationalist coverage, we'd all gladly pay to see the real, human side of ourselves and our neighbors portrayed on a screen. Unfortunately, the big networks know it. Best wishes!
Very heartwarming doc, Sharpsburg looks beautiful in the Fall! I get so excited for the weekend (specifically Sunday here in the UK) for another one of your videos to drop! Thank you so much for these amazing docs!
Really enjoyed this. Moved to Sharpsburg 12 years ago and it seems to get better every year. Also home of award winning Gino Bros. pizza and bar. Dragon Palace.... top notch chines food. and many other little gems.
Thank you. Im bad at covering restaurants but I heard a few folks mention Ginos. Cant eat Chinese food with a peanut allergy unfortunately. Great neighborhood to grab some grub in for sure though.
I spent most of my teens hanging out in Sharpsburg. Going to various band practices, walking the trails, just having a great time. I don't know why your channel was recommended to me today lol But I am beyond happy that it was. Off to watch more! Great job!
Been waiting since the amazing dahntahn video! Keep up the good work absolutely love the vids its a breath of fresh air really shows how amazing Pittsburgh really is
So I just discovered you this evening and your videos are amazing! I'm originally from Pittsburgh and I used to live in Dormont and grew up in Squirrel Hill. Now I live in Philly! I loved your videos on Dormont and Sharpsburg and the Port Authority Stories and 30th Street Station here in Philly! Tomorrow I'll check out more of your excellent work! Thanks for sharing your cool talent!!
Hey man, I know I'm a bit late to the party on these videos, but if you see this, just want you to know I think you're doing a great job. I'm a Cleveland transplant from the Pittsburgh area originally and being able to watch these neighborhoods videos has not only shed light on many areas I visited when I was younger, but has helped me feel like I'm back in the Burgh. Thank you
Im from wilkinsburg moved away in 1978 to Memphis where i still reside love your video's. I appreciate the time and effort you and your camera man or woman puts into it. Thank you for during this!
Ahh I LOVE Sharpsburg! So glad you did it! Used to work at Deeplocal you mentioned at 9:18, spent some great time exploring the area. Beautiful work as always. Makes me miss the hell outta the place.
Your visuals, your commentary, these videos you've orchestrated are always a treat. You facilitate with a down-to-earth mojo & your interviews are genuine & charming(except for the creepy/eerie guy dahntahn, yall know who I'm referring to, lol) Keep'em coming Dean
Hey bro I'm a big historian type and Burgh lover and also love your videos cause I've always loved the different neighborhoods and the uniqueness they have ...I could talk about this stuff all day.. More than a few have told me I should be a tour guide or write books on The Burgh . I've lived in several neighborhoods and walked almost every street in most everyone of the cities neighborhoods and most so called boroughs that really are just as much a part of the Burgh such as Dormont, Carnegie, Crafton, The Rocks, Bellevue, Milvale,Etna, Sharpsburg, Aspinwall, Wilkinsburgh and down the Mon Valley...I know alot of folks like the suburbs but many more like myself love how the neighborhood feel lets you walk to the park or to get coffee or wherever and just be around the people places and feel at one with everything.. I love so many different neighborhoods but if I had to list my favorites I would say Squirrell Hill Shadyside Bloomfield Oakland Mt Washington Brookline And though its actually a borough Bellevue is up there as well .. Along with Dormont and Aspinwall ..
Dang! Thank you for the thorough comment. And the list. So many spots to explore. I grew up in a suburban town so Im also a fan of the city neighborhoods. Good mix of city and suburb feel. I haven't explored enough to have a favorites list but I really love some of the spots on your list.
I am loving your videos. My son told me to watch, so you have two fans from our family. I would love to see you go to Duck Hollow with your camera..a tiny Pittsburgh neighborhood across the Mon from Homestead.
As an international who lived in Pittsburgh for five years, and tried to experience many things in that city and merge to the local community of Pittsburgh, I just can say I love your videos. I hope you get enough sponsors to continue your work.
Dope. I'm from Philly and your documentations of Pittsburgh are fascinating to me. Always been curious about the city always comparing and contrasting and what I've found the most intriguing is how old the neighborhoods look and how the citizens still take pride in the original neighborhood names. Philly has a few old looking areas but they are old from either a poor or rich aesthetic. For a big city Pittsburgh neighborhoods have a very rural gritty almost Boston like feel to them. I'd love to visit.
I'm from the UK, and love Pittsburgh thanks to sports (baseball first, but the NFL is growing on me). I've often thought of moving to Pittsburgh someday and have been watching these with interest. Pittsburgh looks so awesome, but Sharpsburg totally seems like my bag.
If you value anything don't move here. I only wish someone would have warned me. This video is bs. I've lived here for 12 years and I'm telling ya I would rather have every tooth in my mouth pulled and my fingernails extracted than to live another day here. It's like a haunted house. If you make it a week in Sharpsburg without something happening to make you rethink every life choice that lead you here then you're just lying to yourself.
@@DeanBog East Liberty would def make a great video. There is so much history, and it's currently undergoing gentrification. I feel that it's one of the most extreme cases of gentrification in Pittsburgh.
Lucky, I wanna happen upon you recording some day. To this day I wish to live in Sharps after dating someone from there. It was a nice area that held small fests during the summer. Such a nice small area. I loved it. I loved the small shopping area too.
Don't be sad@@IndexError_. There's many things you can do to get out of a town if it doesn't fit your needs. There's beauty in every town though; all you have to do is see it!
Make one about Verona aka my home town, super underrated place also along the allegheny... but wait till I make it home so you can interview me lol. As always love the video, can't wait to see what neighborhood is next!!
I'm originally from L.A. (Lawrenceville Area - 10th Ward), but now reside in the West Wood neighborhood. I recommend you check out (The Historic) West End, just so I could see why they call it "historic".
What an amazing video. My mom, Jaye Raffaele, who grew up here, created a group on Facebook-Growing up Sharpsburg. She recently passed away March, and my sister and I maintain the page now.
I lived in Westmoreland County for 30 years and I pass through Sharpsburg on the way to downtown. Sharpsburg is a very old town that's kinda run down but also quiet and peaceful , I've heard bad things about Sharpsburg, but not nearly as bad as the more mundane parts of Pittsburgh. Funny; my company office is in Sharpsburg
A great place for you to put down roots young Dean...my niece's family lives there they have a restaurant up north...many of the kids parents lived north of the area in Glenshaw,hard working middle class folks...
There's a whole group of black and white stray cats that live in the weeds by the industrial remnants along the river. Cool seeing our neighbor neighborhood 😁
Another great! Can you do a segment of what camera gear you use, or if you've made a video of that before, can you share the link? These are fantastic works-of-art!
I'm currently looking to move to Pittsburgh, and I've been watching Dean's videos to get a feel for each neighborhood. As soon as that woman started hollering about concerned mothers looking out for 'that pedophile with a ponytail', I ruled out Sharpsburg.
@Dean Bog I'm a UK citizen and live in Sheffield - The original steel city :) I love your videos and have recently developed a strong interest in Sheffield's twin city Pittsburgh - Currently saving to visit!

I grew up in Sharpsburg in the 80s and it was a great little town. My parents still live there. I ended up buying a house two doors down from my parents after I got married but the reason I moved out is the parking sucked.
I already gave him a huge spill on Aspinwall with my comment a few days ago. Strange, but I've read about 2 other comments mentioning Aspinwall, I don't think there is a better place in Pittsburgh then this community. Welcome to Aspinwall btw, I've been here around 21 years and obviously, you never get tired of it. Make sure you get on the Reverse 911 list here in Aspinwall, they send updates to your phone on current events going on in the neighborhood. 😀
@@DeanBog we stop at Brother Tom's, great little bakery/eatery once and awhile. We either eat there or some other little family owned hole in the wall my dad knows about that I never knew existed from his time as a phone repair tech
I know this is a year old but when it's no longer COVID times you should check out the Crafton/Carnegie side of things! Carnegie especially is a really cute area.
DUDE< LOL. At :36 that's my Barber Tony 👍 I've been getting my haircut from him for 21 years now. Great Barber, obviously. I live in Aspinwall , and I've had this same apt for 20 years. I hope you decide to do Aspinwall, this is one of the nicest communities in Pittsburgh, and even people who don't live here will say that. You seldom see anyone leave Aspinwall. We have a lot of young professional married people who buy starter homes, and when they move, they just buy a larger home and stay here. I've seen that happen so often. We also have a Park by the river that is improving year to year. It even has some food vendors who are there certain days of the week, plus we have some awesome restaurants. It's not a cheap place to buy a home, most are close to $300,000 and above, unless it needs something, and rent is high, but you get a VERY clean community and one where you can walk around at 2 am and you wouldn't have a thing to worry about. 😀.
@@DeanBog So you've been here.😊 Well, I guess it was quite the pitch. Haha. But you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't have a positive outlook on this town. One of our Dr's at the Hosp I work at, who also lives here called it Mayberry. That's after an old show on TV. 😂
Sharpsburg's most famous venue, was the Crow's Nest Restaurant/Bar on the Water. Having moved to NC, do not know if it's still there or called something different. Reply's welcome.
How far outside the city are you covering? Is Sharpsburg technically part of Pittsburgh? I thought it was its own thing. Great video either way - keep up the good work!
That first guy you interviewed has an amazing Pittsburgh accent
What I love about Sharpsburg is that if you cut out and picked up the entire neighborhood and dropped it into the middle of PA, it would just be any other little PA town. Its really amazing how its so self contained and that you barely notice that downtown is 3 miles down the river.
I love this point. Its rural urban.
AHHH THATS ME GETTING INTERVIEWED!!!!!
Ayo! Bummed I missed ya at the gym but dang what a cool spot. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@DeanBog go to BLOOMFIELD my hometown. I miss it. I miss all the bars and good food
@@DeanBog oh you already did

What accent? 😂
He scares me
"Up Erie" "dahn the Maun"
I love how everyone in Pittsburgh really loves their neighborhood.

Pretty cool, I worked in the maintenance department for the old scrap yard where you were filming. I spent a lot of time working on those old cranes.
You should go to the Southshide or the Strip District!
Southside is gonna take a toll on me haha

Great Video. 1st time I have seen your work. Great editing! Music, slow mos, cuts and drones made it very professional!
Thank you Kristoffe!
Love Sharpsburg!! The ppl and activity wrapped up in an amazing community feel. Coming from a transplant don’t change Sharpsburg cause we love ya.
Great series! Neat moments, good framing, and exciting editing.
Im from wilkinsburg moved away in 1978 to Memphis where i still reside love your video's. I appreciate the time and effort you and your camera man or woman puts into it. Thank you for during this!
Amazing dude...so needed... so many areas.... so many stories...Mon valley begs for this...great flavor
I’m HOOKED on this channel I live in Maryland but man your interesting and the content is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
Ahh I LOVE Sharpsburg! So glad you did it! Used to work at Deeplocal you mentioned at 9:18, spent some great time exploring the area.
Beautiful work as always. Makes me miss the hell outta the place.
That makes a lot of sense! Im digging this motorized slider vid.

Thank you Mark! Glad you're enjoying them. Our downtown friend was a bit eccentric but he was a genuine fella with a good message.
Mmm Deano, maybe my favorite one so far. Really beautiful atmosphere created throughout.
Gosh it is always such a relief/joy to find you in the comments. Sharpsburg is a very moody neighborhood so I was trying to match that atmosphere.
Great job with this one. I've never been to Sharpsburg but now I'll be sure to visit.
Its a good lil spot

@@bonnevillebagger9147 I wasn't talking about Pittsburgh I was talking about sharpsburg

Thats a funny mix. What makes you say those?
What is your problem that he did Sharpsburg?

no cap, your editing get better & better each vid
Thank you Josh!!
Miss your beautiful work bro. All the best.
Great vlog hommie.keep it up!!!!!
Gorgeous video! Squirrel Hill and Pitt campus are on my wish list. Pitt's not a neighborhood but it kind of is.
Dean please make theses longer ,very interesting 💙
The strip district would be cool. I'm from ct. But have fallen in love with pittsburgh. Keep up the great work.
Not the Sharpsburg I grew up in, but I have been gone a long time glad somethings are improving Thanks for doing this
You're welcome. People seem to be doing well.
It hasn't improved at all. I am still stuck in this dump and it's only gotten worse. My guess is someone paid this dude to film absolute bull shit.
Don't be sad@@IndexError_. There's many things you can do to get out of a town if it doesn't fit your needs. There's beauty in every town though; all you have to do is see it!

This is where I lived when I first moved up here I loved it thinking about moving back
You should make a poll to see which neighborhood u should do next
A great place for you to put down roots young Dean...my niece's family lives there they have a restaurant up north...many of the kids parents lived north of the area in Glenshaw,hard working middle class folks...

There's a whole group of black and white stray cats that live in the weeds by the industrial remnants along the river. Cool seeing our neighbor neighborhood 😁
Cool vid man, do some neighborhoods on the west side
I miss seeing Pittsburgh before covid, its sad to look back and just realize wow this is never gonna be the same.
great stuff as usual
Another great! Can you do a segment of what camera gear you use, or if you've made a video of that before, can you share the link? These are fantastic works-of-art!
So kind of a 'how I make neighborhoods' type of video?
@@DeanBog Yeah, and the equipment you use. Yeah, definitely! If you can.
@@Sidetracked_in_Macau Its a pretty simple kit. GH5, two lenses (wide and telephoto), lav mic, shotgun mic, drone, and most importantly, the tripod.

I know this is a year old but when it's no longer COVID times you should check out the Crafton/Carnegie side of things! Carnegie especially is a really cute area.
I hope you do squirrel hill soon!
What about the library. It's a very important place for our residents.
Also Greenwood Cemetery was the only cemetery that allowed African-Americans to be buried at one time, almost my entire family has been buried there
DUDE< LOL. At :36 that's my Barber Tony 👍 I've been getting my haircut from him for 21 years now. Great Barber, obviously.
I live in Aspinwall , and I've had this same apt for 20 years. I hope you decide to do Aspinwall, this is one of the nicest communities in Pittsburgh, and even people who don't live here will say that.
You seldom see anyone leave Aspinwall. We have a lot of young professional married people who buy starter homes, and when they move, they just buy a larger home and stay here. I've seen that happen so often.
We also have a Park by the river that is improving year to year. It even has some food vendors who are there certain days of the week, plus we have some awesome restaurants. It's not a cheap place to buy a home, most are close to $300,000 and above, unless it needs something, and rent is high, but you get a VERY clean community and one where you can walk around at 2 am and you wouldn't have a thing to worry about. 😀.
That is quite the pitch haha. I must say, the wooden chairs at the back of the park by the river make for a great summer sunset spot.
@@DeanBog So you've been here.😊
Well, I guess it was quite the pitch. Haha. But you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't have a positive outlook on this town. One of our Dr's at the Hosp I work at, who also lives here called it Mayberry. That's after an old show on TV. 😂
Should check out Troy Hill and Washington landing.
great job do bloomfield next.
Sharpsburg's most famous venue, was the Crow's Nest Restaurant/Bar on the Water. Having moved to NC, do not
know if it's still there or called something different. Reply's welcome.
Can you go to Sharps Hill
It is right up past to CoGos in Sharpsburgh!
I would be down to do an interview
You should definitely go down to Hazelwood
I live near Hazelwood! I think there is a lot to explore there. Got lost in Hazelwood Green last month.
@@DeanBog if you do check out the center of life. Slim the DJ and Bengi used to work there
That gentleman at 1:30 is peak Pittsburgh.
How far outside the city are you covering? Is Sharpsburg technically part of Pittsburgh? I thought it was its own thing. Great video either way - keep up the good work!
You should totally do Lawrenceville
I got pics of my dad with Bruno samartino in that gym.
Kristin Gallo he was my favorite wrestler when I was a teenager. R.I.P. living legend
would love to see those pictures
Hey man I live out in Castle Shannon you should come out an interview my friends an I
Amazing! Like a more serious Rick Sebak special. Etna isn't too big, but please check it out! Lots of natural beauty and good views!
Did you get any clips of those infamous river alligators
