Love the channel, Charlie. As others have mentioned, there are grungier parts of Pittsburgh, especially areas outside the city proper like Braddock and McKeesport where they simply don't have the money to take down all the vacant houses and everything. In case anyone is interested, the the red brick buildings around 11:45 are Bedford Dwellings, which I believe is the oldest public housing project in America. Franklin Roosevelt made an appearance for the ribbon-cutting ceremony back in the late '30s.

The sad part is just the majority of ppl dont care about that kinda stuff, especially here in America. Here in the US we care about dumb fucking shit straight up.

Thanks for making this video. I'm from Pittsburgh and its bring me back. I been away from Pittsburgh a while.

The first 4 minutes + are of 10th Ward, Lawrenceville. My family settled here in the late 1800's. The area is gentrifying now. Small row house go from $200,000 to $500,000 and condos from $300,000. If hood means neighborhood, this is a hood. 6 generations of my family has lived here. For the most of the 1900's, the area was ethnic Irish, Solvennes, and English. It started to become african american in the mid-90' (but never over 35%), and now is home to anyone that can afford it. There is a little bit of everything there, and for the most part everyone gets along.

Yeah, the Hill District is by no means great but they've definitely cleared a lot of the really decayed pre-WWII housing in recent years. On the one hand the old buildings sort of gave the place personality, but at the same time it was a neighborhood in terminal decline since the '60s well past saving in any meaningful way. Hopefully they'll at least preserve the couple of Orthodox churches, synagogues, and landmarks of the Hill's history as a black neighborood. There are also some interesting houses around the "Sugar Hill" area above Herron Avenue where Pittsburgh's black middle class lived in the era of housing segregation.

If anyone goes to Pittsburgh and wants to take in the "postcard" view of the downtown area... You can go up to the Mt. Washington area and walk onto some of the observation platforms that are there. Also, riding the incline located across from the Station Square is a must and offers some excellent views ! You have to admire the engineering and ingenuity that went into designing and building it because it was, and still is, a way to get to and from work all of these past and current decades... The Belgian granite cobblestone roads were not only meant to be durable, but to provide traction for the horse drawn streetcars... And any salvaged cobblestones are highly prized !

They are in business, they don’t like competitors coming into their territory and disrespecting them. They dish out their own justice they play rough and they play for keeps. Don’t mess with them and they won’t mess with you.

is that Lawrenceville?

This is known to be one of Americas most dramatically improved cities. Used to be so industrial and philthy that the streetlights were on during the day because the air was so dirty.

Almost got my neighborhood but went to etna instead..sharpsburgh was to the right..nice little area..etna not a bad place either..makes me homesick but you can keep the snow!

I live in Pgh. and a lot of this video was not the Hoods. They were in the White areas. Yes, some of the Hill district was in there; However, most was in the area that we do not call the hood; Now your previous video; I saw Homewood, East End, and looked like a small area of Wilkinsburg. Those are truly the Hoods. I grew up in those areas. Murtland Ave, where Westinghouse High School is, some of Lincoln Larimar; Truly the Hood. Thank you though. I have viewed your other videos about other states, and Cities; The thought came to me to see if you had visited any of Pgh. Pa. Hoods. Thanks a lot; I am a Baby Boomer,and truly enjoy watching these videos.

This guy would probly refer to any neighbourhood as a hood

love how he starts out in Lawrenceville. This guy doesnt know anything. lol

yeah, but his big ass thinks he knows everything. dude might as well have gone into polish hill & squirrel hill

Lawrenceville going up to Stanton Heights, back down to Lawrenceville, cross 62nd st. bridge to Etna, up and down Etna, over to PPG arena, up and all around the hill district.

I delivered gopuff in this area for 6 months a little before this video was made. Never had any problems

I used to live in South Side in the late 80's. It was fine. Lots of bars. Solid neighbors. Fair bit of alcoholism, but otherwise pretty normal place. Now, there are some projects east of there that are pretty scary, as are the ones to the NW of the Pitt campus.

I've been to Chicago and you don't want that i know.summer time haven't got here yet.

Is this the same city w/ 2 professionals team Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers ?

McKeesport, Knoxville, Carrick, wilkinsburg, Hazelwood, homestead, etc. Should be where you go to see "hood" I enjoyed this video though!

Looks nice and clean.Everybody have nice cars parked in front of their homes.

FeelingGroovy I live in nearby Youngstown. Pittsburgh is old and it is really hard to tell if you are in a hood or a suburban type environment, with in the lower crest as they call it, but the ghetto parts of Pittsburgh make Cleveland’s seem alright. The home wood neighborhood and north Braddock are horrible. As well as parts of the north and south side, it is the hilliest city in America. You do not want to get stuck in a snowstorm in the wrong neighborhood trying to drive up a road.

Actually, there are familes who have lived here for generations and the houses were passed down as well as the concepts of keeping up one's house and property... That being said, there are parts of Pittsburgh that rival the worst of Detroit or any other "hoods" that Charlie has driven through...

It is most definitely not the hilliest city in america. Ever heard of the much higher mountains (and cities in them) in places throughout New England or the Rocky Mountains?

We have world class health care and hospitals. Major universities and colleges. High tech jobs and industry. Awesone sports teams and a rich cultural distict. Our history is rich and storied. We are proud of both our industrious past and our bright future. There is no holding on in Pittsburgh. We are thriving!

Needs a narration. Where are we?

Beginning of the video is Lawrenceville then he's moving up towards stanton heights then back into Lawrenceville

the first street you drove up is 57th, thats my street... and my ranger at the top of the hill haha! lawrenceville USED to be bad... but that house i bought for 75k is worth well over 300k now,.... that area is the most expensive and desired in the whole city now...

where dont you ever go charlie??? You EVERYwhere...

Please come back in the summer there's a lot of places you missed.

Pittsburgh is hilly everywhere. I hate when there's snow and ice on the roads.

What a cool old city! Did you know the Pirates where the first pro-baseball team in the late 1800's if they were the first not sure who they played against though 🤔hahaha!! I'm from Windsor Canada and you inspired me to do a Windsor hoods video.. almost complete
