Aww I wish that could have happened as well. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure our meeting wasn’t an accident.

We lived in Erie, PA for 30 years and raised our children there. We took many trips to Pittsburgh to show them the culture and history.

Wow. I certainly didn’t think Pittsburgh was this interesting. Thanks for the chance to join you. ❤

Born, raised and still live 10 minutes from Mountain Top! The Pittsburgh region has been industrial, technological and agriculturally important as long as I can remember. Hope yinz enjoyed the stay!

As someone who was born and raised in Pittsburgh, it’s nice seeing it through someone else’s eyes. I couldn’t wait to move out of Pittsburgh but your video makes me excited to visit home for the holidays! 🤍

Lived in Pittsburgh 8 yrs! There was crime in the 80's & 90's; but not like the shootings 2day! I would never move back except to some suburbs only.

My brother lived in Pittsburgh years ago. I visited him once in ten years and told him as long he lived there I would not be visiting again. This looks nothing like the Pittsburgh I visited years ago. It was dirty and pollution was everywhere. I did not feel safe and could not even bring myself to stay the night. I am from a small country town and so it was a shock to me to see people living so close together. Your video shows a very different view of Pittsburgh than I remember. Hope the city continues to work on keeping a clean city. Who know I may even visit it again after watching your video showing me a new view. Thank you for posting and sharing your experiences.

So great to see that you enjoyed our city!

Son moved there back in the 90's & I never realized that Pittsburgh was so beautiful. It's amazing! So many folks in the U.S. don't have a clue as to how beautiful our own country really is. Thanks for sharing another great video.😊

Born and raised in Pittsburgh. Beautiful city and friendly people. We are very proud of our city and glad you came to visit. Next time stay up north around Butler. 28 is a horrible road. Have to check out Oakland for the museums and the colleges. Such diverse food here also. Some of the dives are the best food. Also coming into the city from the west is the absolute best entrance to any city I have seen. Keep up the great content and hope you return to visit again.

All of the interstates are horrible & obsolete. They need to be rebuilt & finish a beltway around the city. The turnpike is obsolete & disgusting!

Pittsburg was part of the Rust Belt. When the steels mills shut down and moved out of the country the mills were left to rust. It looked so ugly but now the cities have been cleaned up and building turned residential.

I really look forward to your videos'. I enjoy you guys enjoying each other. And it adds knowing that you all are believers. Thanks for the positive entertainment. As a grandpa, just saying, enjoy those kiddos (and it's obvious that you do) because one day you'll blink. It's great that you have all these videos to relive these times with your kids and eventually with your grandkids.

So excited to see that yinz were in my hometown. You did an amazing job showcasing this beautiful city!! I hope yinz enjoyed your time here.

A small correction, Mr Rogers trolley represented the actual trolleys in the city at the time (1950s, early 60s) They ran them until the the 80s while they were updated to more modern subway style cars. There is a trolley museum south of Pittsburgh in Washington PA

“Three Rivers Stadium” - get it? 😂 My grandson would have stopped at the excavator right after you parked and we would have been good all day! I can do without the shops and restaurants, but love the history and museums. Hate the traffic. Loved the incline! Thanks!

I was born in Pittsburgh and have a piece of ribbon cut on opening day of the double deck Fort Pit Bridge. I was one of many that walked across the bridge and back to celebrate the opening. Lived there till I was 7.

Marissa, I love the ear popping technique. Only the mountain living people do that. I grew up in MA going to NH all the time. Open your mouth wide to pop your ears. I've been to Pittsburgh but only for a quick drive through. Great video!

Pierogis & Haluski is also a popular items to try while visiting Pittsburgh too. There's Whollys in the Strip, the famous big fish sandwich. There's Old Harmony, Trax Farm, Mingo Park to see the covered bridge. Oh I hope you do come back to Pittsburgh to actually get a better impression. The trains are a joy to see also along with the Santa's from around the world. The three rivers Alleghany, Monongahela, form the Ohio River. I wanted to add that.

I grew up 30-miles north of Pittsburgh and moved into the city when I was 18 to go to art school in the 70s. There were still a lot of steel mills along the Mon River when I lived there. But I lived over on the North Side on the hill above the stadium for a few years before moving out to California. My family history runs deep(back to the late 1700s) over on the North Side - which was it's own little town back then called Allegheny. Pittsburgh is still a small town city, homey feel. I spent some time in the area this year ... I still have family and friends there. BTW: Duquesne = Doo-cane.

My son goes to university of Pittsburgh and we absolutely love the city. Oakland is the section of Pittsburgh where Pitt is located and it has an amazing park called Schenley Park. Thank you for showcasing a beautiful city in Pennsylvania.

I was born 50 miles from Pittsburg near Uniontown Pa.Pittsburgh back in the day was named the Smokey City ......Because of all the Steel Mills !

I love you guys! So fun to watch your enthusiasm for life.

Nicely done! We are originally from Pittsburgh before we moved fulltime. Great to see so many great sites you visited. Thank you for doing the beautiful ‘Burgh well

Awesome as always.

We are currently staying at Mountain Top on the same site as Living Small Dreaming Big! Being full time and having all 3 of our boys and their families living in the Pittsburgh area, we are very thankful that Mountain Top is open year round. You did a wonderful job showcasing a beautiful city that has become a second home to us. That view from Mount Washington is one of my favorite things!

I enjoy visiting big cities ☺️ This was fun to see Pittsburgh through your eyes.

We love Pittsburgh and it will always be home even though we full time RV. You did a great job capturing our hometown and showing its beauty. Mountain Top campground is our place to stay when we come home. Loved seeing our rig in your video. We were your friends neighbors while you were there. Nice meeting you guys. Safe travels and hope to see you on the road again someday.

Born and raised 30 minutes east of Pittsburgh and always loved going to the City and riding the incline…great job showcasing Pittsburgh

Yes, I have been in Pittsburgh several times. My sister attended the art institute there and I enjoyed visiting her. One of her apartments was in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood which is where Mr Rogers lived. It's a neat city.

Retired now, but during my working years, I used go to Pittsburgh every October-November. Other than those skinny-windy roads, I loved it there!

Thanks for showing my home town glad you enjoyed it

From the burgh! Nice video of my hometown, thank you!! I'm not there anymore but it will always be where my heart is. 💙

Thank you for visiting my home town! I live east of Pittsburgh now! So many other other surrounding areas to explore if you ever come back this way!

I visited Pittsburg about 11 years ago. Visited the same places you did. Enjoyed the Incline Museum. Remember leaving a small restaurant as the baseball game was getting out and had to move out of the way as the crowds were taking over the streets and and sidewalks heading home. Great city to walk about. One of the best places was an old church that was converted into a restaurant and brewery. It was on the other side of the Allegany River from the city. Great memories and met some great friends there.

Wow! This is fascinating to know about Pittsburgh and I forgot about Mr. Rogers Neighborhood being there. This is so awesome to know.

A great journey! Thanks for doing this!

I was on my way back from Tennessee when you were in Pittsburgh, as you mentioned the UT vs Pitt football game that was that weekend. Being from Ohio, I have been to Pittsburgh many times. Pre-GPS days, I always got lost there. Too many one-way streets and bad signage. We took our kids there in 2004. We rode the Duquesne Incline and took the Ducky boat tour from the station. They let our then 4 year old daughter drive the boat in the river (at a slow speed). That was her first driving experience! We had parked at the top of the incline and got lost trying to get back down the mountain. That was a crazy day! After visiting the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium, we then headed east of Pittsburgh to Idlewild Park. There, our 4 year old rode her first rollercoaster (with me). We also rode the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood ride, where you ride a trolley through the life size town of make believe. It also had a water park. We had a blast there! We returned some years later, to experience Star Wars at the science museum, with a GPS. We did not get lost! Glad that you enjoyed Pittsburgh! I enjoyed Tennessee, including Chick-fil-a in Cookeville and Fall Creek Falls state park.

That’s pretty nice with having to go on the Duquesne Incline. Never heard of that and it seems awesome.

First time I went to Pittsburgh was to run the Marathon....been back several times to watch the Cubs vs. Pirates. Such a fun city!!

I've been to Pittsburgh. I lived in Columbus Ohio for 10 years. I loved the museum's, the public artwork, the different restaurants, the festivals and the book stores! I grew up in a rural farming community, I went to college in a medium city (Akron), I lived in a really remote Amish area after college and then the big city. Hands down I would live in a big city over any of them. I loved taking the ferries in Seattle.

Love Columbus, lived there 3 yrs. I would move back if I could. PA has more benefits!

❤ your adventures. We just did the Incline Railway at Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, TN.

Couple things to check out, if you can see one, a Home game for the Steelers especially during the third quarter when they play renegade to get the crowd hyped up is amazing. Primanti Bros restaurant as well as Quaker Steak And Lube's Atomic Wings Challenge both were featured on Man Vs Food if I remember right. Two other cool things to do around the area is the Architectural house Falling Waters by Frank Lloyd Wright, they have tours of it, it's essentially a house with a river that flows down in through the house as a waterfall. Lastly a bit up north around Kane they start closing the dams up to control flooding and one of the lakes called Red Bridge gets so low that you can pretty much walk across the entire thing, lastly they have the Viaduct bridge which is an old railroad bridge from a really long time ago stretching over a valley that a tornado knocked down so they went and put a glass viewing platform out in where the middle of it was and you can see the remains of the bridge down below and the valley stretching out on all sides.

Pennsylvania born...had relatives who lived in Pittsburgh and still have college friends (Penn State) who call the 'burgh home. Duquesne....do-KANE. Also, most amazing view is to fly into Pittsburgh then drive from the airport to the city. You head through the Ft Pitt Tunnel and Pittsburgh just appears out of nowhere before you! University of Pittsburgh plays in the Steelers Stadium, Heinz Field (no one from PA will ever call it by it's new name)

Thanks for sharing the city with us. That way I do not need to drive in traffic. Blessings

No, I have never been to Pittsburgh. I've been around it quite a few time on the turnpike but I've never been to it. I should probably go one of these days. That incline is pronounced dew-cane. For a short course on steel making, iron ore is mined out of the ground, then converted in to pig iron in a furnace (blast furnaces are old technology) which is then converted into steel in another furnace for which there are a few choices with a popular one being the Basic Oxygen Process or BOP. That's about all I learned about steel making in my summer working in a steel mill. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me.

I wasn’t first , but better believe I watched it all the way through. Great video. Stay safe.
