There is no better channel that has displayed Pittsburgh in all its glory as Dean Bogs Channel. The skill, the care and depth of representation, it's huge. Thank you Dean.

Dean, you do such a lovely job of, well, making us feel stuff - fragility, loss, hope. Stunning.

every video of his has struck something deeper within me. Love for people, community and the simple things that make Pittsburgh

I think you’re the photographic poet laureate of the city.

HOLY CRAP, you're back! And mobile! So happy to have you and this treasure of a program back! Much love, friend!

The ending of this video was so brilliantly executed. Damn

You ain't lying brother.

Unbelievable work. I live in California, have no connection to Pittsburgh and I eat these up. My Dad and I have watched nearly every episode. So glad you’re making them again.

Even though you talk about not being born here, you’ve already captured so much of what makes Pittsburgh so unique, as if you’ve been here all of your life. I see it as the hardships that residents face with keeping the city’s identity without forgetting the past or neglecting the future. Pittsburgh has always seemed to keep an okay balance of this, and I miss it so much. I’m glad Nine Mile Run was added, we used to hike to duck hollow through there. Thank you, Dean. Amazing work.

We came, we cried, we laughed, we loved this video

Welcome back Dean! If you are looking for video ideas : Perhaps you could do one on the T. I hear that rail is much more environmentally friendly for transportation, perhaps we could inspire pittsburgh to invest more in connecting our neighborhoods via rail rather than being content with sitting in car traffic

Good idea. I am living car free with ebike and the T 🚊 Wish more people would use it.

its good to see you back Dean. You were conspicuous by your absence in the recent Hazelwood video. So, your presence in the video adds something to it. I can't imagine what you've been doing these past years to have abandon this project but thanks for reviving it.

Just seeing you "frolicking" is joy alone! Thank you for again bringing the beauty of our town to us in your unique way Dean.

I was giggling with delight to see you moving so well in the opening scenes, not to mention serving a tennis ball! I'm sure you can still feel the remnants of your injury somehow, and I hope you're not masking any great pain here, but I'm so grateful for your recovery thus far. This episode was a stunning and distinctly Pittsburghian portrait of my favorite park in the city. You have a knack for seeing and appreciating the little details we all miss as we rush through life, and then setting them to a wondrous soundtrack. Your documentary style mirrors the mission of Frick as Helen originally conceived it-- something that makes us slow down, observe, appreciate, and play. Thank you for your keen eye and big heart as you continue making these cherished vignettes of our city! If I may suggest an episode, please have a look at Friendship when you get a chance. It was my first real home in Pittsburgh and I adored the neighborhood (and made tons of contacts there that I could hook you up with). From the plentiful (and gorgeous) street cats to the stunning asphalt art, the quirky and fun-to-film Octopus garden, the interesting Quaker origins, the amazing and lush alleyway display of native Pennsylvania plants on Fredericka, the historic Friendship Avenue Church from 1908, the world-renowned art destination that is the Pittsburgh Glass Center, or even one of the nation's first chiropractic schools (I'm good friends with the owner), there is SO much to see and film here. The story of how those huge Victorian homes came to be and then evolved into what they are today is fascinating, not to mention the scandalous history of the founding families there. Trust me, it won't disappoint you. Check out the website for the Friendship Community Group and see if it piques your interest.

I live in Oakland and have kind of been a hermit other than going to Schenley. Thank you for giving me new ideas for places to explore!

Polished, perceptive, ambitious, eclectic, immersive, really informative and enjoyable. One park, one video, with many facets. It's good to see you back, and looking well.

I used to live 100 feet from Frick Park and this made me so homesick for it!! I love the Roller Coaster trail. Also, glad to see they rebuilt the Fern Hollow! Awesome video, Dean.

Welcome back my friend, it's been a while since I've seen you and I missed your thoughtful and intricate investigations into the history and culture of the various Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Thank you for the work you do, hope the ankle feels better and ends up not bothering you anymore.

Sooo glad you're back, Bean Dog! What a wonderful video! It's hard to imagine having enough money to be able to give the children of Pittsburgh a park as your birthday present, and it says a lot about Helen Clay Frick that she did so as her gift, coming out as a debutante. We have such a rich history, and the families of our most powerful industrialists (the ones who sometimes broke the strikes and fought the unions) have also given so much, with libraries, museums, universities, parks, and so much more. It's complicated. The historian David McCollough (who grew up a few blocks from Frick Park) described Pittsburgh as "the indispensable city," and I would add that the city's great parks (Frick, Schenley, Highland) are an indispensable part of the city we love. Welcome back, Dean!

I have missed this channel. Nice to have you back at it.

Been in Pittsburgh for 3 years During the pandemic, Frick was where I'd go to stay sane

Your sound design is S tier. god damn

So good!

I liked the Mac tribute.

Dean, PLEASE KEEP THESE VIDEOS going. You are at a point now where you can revisit a lot of the neighborhoods you covered 4+ years ago.

You should do a video about The Allegheny Cemetery

I spent half my childhood there in '50s and even played hooky from school there. There used to be what we called hobo camps back then and I used be amazed at how the cooked their baked beans in the cans and hot dogs..Some of the hobos were quite creative in their camping skills. They never stayed long in one camp and were usually gone by the time park visitors showed up and I always wondered where they went during the days.

So great to see you walking around again.

We love you Dean and your channel and Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing.

All your videos are a love letter to this city 💗 thank you for such a beautiful video

Well done Mr. Bog

Love your work Dean. You make us all love Pittsburgh even more. Frick is a gem. Legit my sanctuary. Great work!

I moved away from Pittsburgh recently and MY, does this make me miss it. Frick is such a gift, and so is this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dean.

The music, as always, is amazing, Dean! Thank you for the amazing details of nature -- but also for zooming out: Fern Hollow bridge, Blue Slide, the climate. Elise in NH

~The Nature Episode~

so cool that you were able to take such a long hiatus and come back with just as high-quality of videos as ever. you're a natural documentarian!

This video made me cry!! Thank you for always showing the city in such a wonderful way. I’m so proud to be from Pittsburgh and I’ve really missed your videos

Every one of your videos reinforces my hope in the art form. Truly incredible

feeling nostalgic now for my old home city....

I moved from PGH 6 months ago, Frick is the place I miss most. I teared up at the end, thanks Dean

Love the fact he killed a lanternfly in the intro

Another Great Video

Superb. You know what the Bean Dog moment was? The couple of Gothies answered an intelligent question in a thoughtful way. Right there, l knew l was experiencing a Dean Bog thing.

Happy to see that ankle back in action! These are always a treat. Thanks for making this one!

Yes!

Dean, beautiful photography in this one. It's my favorite of your Pittsburgh neighborhood series so far!

Yes! Glad to see another video! Hope you're still healing well.

Dean just out here doing his thing. Shout out the corpse couple. And of course rip Mac. 🤙🏻

moving from la to pittsburgh and i was terrified that my eccentric style would be considered bad back over there so thank you for interviewing the goth pair i feel a lot less afraid to just wear what i want there now

Glad you are feeling better, come visit Homestead soon 😄

Greetings from Ohio! (Dayton) Current residents owe a great deal to the visionaries of the past. Fortunately many of those were successful industrialists who also had the means to create treasures like this and also believed they should be the ones to make it happen. Our parklands contribute so much to the quality of life for generations. There were others across the country . In this community it was people like John Patterson and Edward Deeds. Thanks for putting this together and sharing it.

Mr bog sir, i am ecstatic that u have continued your neighborhood vids. I came across them bout a year ago and have been heart broken that they stopped. If i was financially sound i wouldve happily volunteered to piggy back u round the burgh to help with your tour of all the neighborhoods. Glad ur back, keep up the great work!

He's Back!

Beauutious!!! ❤

I am really so happy you have come back to making this series. I moved out of Pittsburgh last year and gods do I miss home. Thank you Dean, I feel right back at home with your videos again.

I am SUCH a fan of your filmmaking!!! Keep on making more and more and MORE!

Dean, you are THE reason I moved to Pittsburgh. I really hope you do Highland Park soon, although I don't mind rewatching all other neighborhoods 😊

Your skills of conveying the beauty of life and it’s surroundings in my opinion are unmatched. Then you interject the notion of humanity. Hearts and minds are captured.

Yo dean your editing and camerawork have improved so much since I started watching you. Keep it up! If you wanna beer in highland Park hit me up

Frick Park is a precious treasure to our city, and so are you Dean. Absolutely beautiful cinematography in this one, cheers.

I miss you Pittsburgh 😢 The city I live in now just doesn’t have it

So glad you’re making videos again! You really stepped up your game on this one it was awesome.

Excellent video Dean, always appreciate your videos, true works of art.

So glad you are back and mobile. Thanks for anther fantastic video! And that ending... Perfect.

good to see your face on the videos again!

Love your content Dean! Missed your bro!

This park is gorgeous and it's hard to believe this is a city park.

Bravo, Dean! As always, great video. Thank you for sharing your work

The king is back and on a roll 🔥

Having only recently heard about it myself, I a bit wish that you mentioned the history of Frick and his many anti-labor tenancies in the steel industry, but focusing on the park and the people of the park made a strong point too

Great videos over here. I don't know if I'll ever go to Pittsburgh, but you sell the hell out of it. Thanks!

the scene on the excercise bike made me so happy. Seeing you're doing better is great. This series was my comfort series back in 2019/pre covid 2020

So happy you're back Dean!

So glad you're back

Look at that man, using those ankles!

love it Dean!

I used to go to Frick all the time!!!! Whoa!!!!! dean you got another one!

Another beautiful video, thank you Dean!!

Glad to see you posting again. I recently moved out of state, this was awesome and look forward to more to come!

Dean, I cannot thank you enough for this series! It makes me excited about Pittsburgh more and more! Also, whatever filter/overlay you have on this video is amazing!

lol nice actors in the beginning. I saws those characters on Portlandia.

Wonderful video. Frick is the only thing I will truly miss about living in the city. It was only 5-10 minutes away.

Great video! Keep up the good work!

Amazing video, thanks! At 2:00, I instinctively yelled, JAMIEEE!!!

Wonderful and poignant as always, Dean. Well done.

How did miss this?! My stalking skills are slipping! Glad this series is back and good to see you more mobile!

Wonderful!

Well done! Thanks. for documenting what makes our city great.

I never spent time at Frick Park but i will definitely be going soon. Nice video glad to see you making content again

Great job, as always! We lived by the lawn bowling green for several years but never tried it--maybe now that the pandemic has lightened up we should go back. I'm most impressed with the footage of the snake(s)!

Thank you again, Mr Bog

Also the blue slide was a nice touch

Glad to see your back and on your feet. Nice work again. I've missed it.

This was incredible

Dang bro, this was done so damn well.

Dude - I have been waiting so long. You’re amazing :)

Absolutely swooning over you making videos again! I have been waiting for this day!!
