NEIGHBORHOODS OF PITTSBURGH - DOWNTOWN

[@AdamSrgnt]

Thank god you documented the bus. A glorious piece of Pittsburgh lore.

[@DeanBog]

The bus will live down in Pittsburgh history

[@DeanBog]

Yeah I felt like I had to include it! Such a strange event. I'll enjoy re-watching this in a few years and seeing the bus.

[@dutchray8880]

The intro with the backdrop of the bus in the sinkhole made me laugh. I was hoping it wouldn't get mentioned just to mess with nonlocals who happened upon this video.

[@marcusfuller6657]

When watched the video I couldn't believe my eyes lol

[@nathanharris3017]

if you ever stop making these i’m gonna cry , i used to live in pittsburgh and your cinematography of such a beautiful city really pulls at the old heart strings

[@DeanBog]

ill keep em coming for the time being!

[@robreid2652]

I love that you got the sinkhole bus!

[@DeanBog]

A spectacle for the ages

[@Rawbherb]

Teared up a bit at the girl near the end. That's the attitude all Pittsburghers have - we're not going to fail.

[@DeanBog]

Ain't she just wonderful?

[@daquannaquad3426]

the time and effort you must put into these is unreal to me im crazy impressed. this deserves to be everywhere all over youtube

[@DeanBog]

Lots of time but also lots of fun. Pittsburgh is a great city to explore. Thank you Daquan

[@mirehomii6016]

Dean Bog feel the same way this shit beautiful it’s crazy that I see people I know you put some much in to this love this

[@colinmakesvideos]

Another masterpiece. Your shorts are perfectly composed, you ask good questions and tell a great story. Keep up the great work.

[@DeanBog]

Thank you Colin. I just watched the dream poet. Fantastic work. Where are you located?

[@colinmakesvideos]

@@DeanBog Philadelphia! Maybe you'll have to come here and do a series!

[@sleep2dream_]

"Like the sausage Jimmy Dean?!" 😂😂 classic

[@kinipelakahalau]

The shot of the man smoking a cigar was stunning. I love this city,.

[@elainawalters2303]

i wish you mentioned point park! we’re one of the only communities that really lives downtown. the city is our campus, based off of wood and boulevard. it’s filled with the most creative students- majors such as musical theatre, acting, cinema production, creative writing! if you would consider it, i would highly recommend revisiting downtown for a video that stretches beyond the sinkhole. visit the wharf, one of downtown’s most historical locations. talk about our museums, landing the city it’s well deserved title of an art district. downtown deserves a pizza rating to settle the longtime debate of what’s the best (la gondola for sure). our school is often forgotten, yet we’re the only ones left trying to uphold true city living! i will give you a tour myself!

[@MzClementine]

You ain't kidding as frog children haunt your dreams... Yeah she's right about those bragging rights. I remember that as a child. I went to Pittsburgh performing art school too. For me, it was ballet, jazz, and I was the first part of hip Hop of that school. I mean a few friends of mine would stand there and dance in our ballet class. Our ballet teacher flat out said we need a hip hop class.. and that's all she wrote. Oh what good times. I'll never forget taking a break my mother was grabbing a hot dog off of a vendor. A man with Liberty spikes blue Liberty spikes of all things. I walked up to him and my little tutu. Ask him if his head actually grew that way. He said no no little lady I take a lot of time to style my hair like this. My head is round just like yours. I asked him if I could touch it. My mom turns around and there's her little girl feeling up some punks hair. My mom panicked a little, but then realize the guy was really nice. Oh those moments oh those sounds. With the echo of my teacher saying brown rice before burgers, s*** I just get the burger and throw the bun away leave me alone you ain't taking my burger from me. 😂

[@riannelindsey388]

i totally saw you by Market Square when you were filming and i should've said hi! thank you for making these videos, they make me happy and grateful for living here.

[@DeanBog]

No worries! Im sure you'll see me around again. And you are very welcome! Glad you enjoy them

[@amye4087]

I hope the student at performing arts always remembers that statement. Great attitude to have at such a young age. Great video

[@DeanBog]

She was awesome. I need more of her attitude.

[@RonGavalik]

I bought one of John's bird paintings/drawings a few years ago on S. Side. I even wrote a poem about it in my Sidewalks collection.

[@jeffreycohen7139]

Wow! I can't believe you got the bus in the sink hole. Excellent job on this!

[@DeanBog]

Thank you Jeff!

[@lid-h7e]

I’m a North sider currently living in NYC for college. I went to high school downtown. I’ve been feeling extra homesick and this made me feel it even stronger. This is so awesome

[@santinobucaro412]

Born and raised on the Northside but currently living in Oregon. I miss Pittsburgh so much! I have a 6 year old daughter who hasn't been back there yet and I'm really hoping we can move back one day so she can experience the city and things like kennywood, the aviary, gus and yayas and all the other fun stuff and places to go!

[@lid-h7e]

Santino Bucaro covid brought me back, and it felt so great. Try to get back as soon as you can! Things are changing a lot.

[@santinobucaro412]

@@lid-h7e that's awesome! I'm happy to hearyou were able to go back! And I've heard its changed alot! Especially on the Northside were I lived down spring garden they completely remodeled a bunch of houses and it's looking a bit nicer! I'm trying my damndest to get back there! Lol I just wanna walk to the strip district and grab a capicola primanti brothers sandwich and wash it down with a yuengling! 🤣

@@santinobucaro412 lol yes I live in Spring Hill! I know exactly what you’re talking about.

[@cesars842]

I think i get what dude was trying to say at 4:00. Downtowns are often nobodies neighborhoods, but at the same time, the whole cities neighborhood. You might act and feel differently than when youre in your home hood.

[@TheSunshine502]

What a great way to capture Downtown! I am entering my second semester at Point Park and most of my friends who did not grow up in the area don't recognize the great pride and love that Pittsburghers have in every neighborhood. You can grow to love anywhere as long as you embrace all of its' imperfections and find its' (oft-hidden) beauty. I'm definitely going to show these videos to my college friends and start to check out some of these other neighborhoods!

[@ethanboyd7843]

The Ohio doesn't *SPLIT* into the Mon and the Allegheny! Ahhhhh bad form! Fantastic Episode tho dude!! EDITED Ahhhhhhh U did it again! The Ohio isn't forced into the Allegheny and the Mon!!!! Still an awesome spisode!

[@jennkoko4672]

You all have no idea how much I appreciate you recognizing and showing love and respect to women and witnessing your love for us from personal experience...I love you guys tyvm for educating me with your knowledge of your neighborhood...good stuff...wish i was there...sick and tired of disrespect or drama ...i raise you up...what up black hulk hogan...you should be one the radio with all your smooth voices...lol

[@ryancameron9557]

Good job on this video, Pittsburgh needs some love!

[@DeanBog]

Thank you Ryan

[@mayapapaya7006]

I love this series! I hope you'll come to Squirrel Hill soon!!

[@jimwalsh233]

Yes we lived in Squirrel Hill in our time in the Burgh

[@swiftassociates]

Dean will return, I know it and will be going undercover as a energy utility crane consultant videographer in no time

[@AtlantaMusicCritic]

Your series is so well done. The editing is brilliant and you capture the spirit of the city so well. Excellent work.

[@DeanBog]

Thank you so much!!

[@yoeltamar2817]

the shot of that guy smoking the cigar was immaculate cinematography

[@chrisfyb]

You just keep getting better at these man!

[@DeanBog]

I hope so! haha. Thank you so much

[@jewellenhart7717]

Love observing city ppl, the architecture etc

[@jeremyanderson7303]

excellent again. keep it up. and just to clarify, the mon and allegheny come together to form the Ohio. the Ohio doesn't split. its one of the only rivers in the US that runs north for a significant distance.

[@DeanBog]

Yeah that was a super cringey mistake on my part.

[@dylanhartz8473]

3:20 love the series and your production quality is insane, just a little constructive criticism, the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers actually form a confluence into the Ohio river

[@dylanhartz8473]

edit: i have just watched your video on Sharpsburg where a local resident explained this to ya haha

[@ckannan90]

Haha yeah that was my first thought, rivers don’t typically split

[@mcwilhoit5978]

Hey there, Dean. Dude, I’m so sorry about your accident, but your videos mean the world to me, dude. My whole life has turned upside down as well and I’ve decided to move to Pittsburgh and leave my quiet suburban life in California. Thank you for your advice, your opinions, and your wonderful talent! Can’t wait to live in one of your neighborhoods!

[@Crittbeast]

A masterclass in capturing the city again. Thanks Dean!!!!

[@DeanBog]

Thank you!!

Visually and emotionally stunning work.

[@jeremynolan4681]

From now on I am keeping a neon vest and a hard hat in my car. Absolutely brilliant 👏

[@bungasylvania3525]

This really made me appreciate downtown so much more. I hate going down there everyday for school but these shots were gorgeous and it rly made me look at it so differently.

[@closer2theheart684]

One of my favorite channels now. I recently returned to North Carolina after a trip to Pittsburgh. I knew as soon as I exited the Fort Pitt Tunnel, that I was going to love the city. Turns out, I was right. I managed as much as I could in between the Pens game and looking for awesome eats. I am in love with this city now and I'll definitely be returning. The fact that I have your channel as a guide to cool little neighborhoods, is a huge bonus. Cheers!

[@tomjilink]

Wow, what a great episode :) I am happy to see the neighbourhoods series continues. Thanks and great job of filming and storytelling.

[@DeanBog]

Thank you so much for watching and always commenting :)

[@terminallytwee]

your camerawork is so great at capturing the mood of a place

[@Runescape_God]

Great video. Albeit small, Pittsburgh does have a nice, dense downtown that can often trick you into thinking you're in a much bigger city.

[@yojoeits420]

Born and raised in the burgh..ill never leave...a beautiful way to showcase our lovely city..thank u for this

[@DaveThaumavore]

Thoroughly blown away with this one. Bravo!

Thank you Dave!

[@mixwiz]

In another video you were asking for which neighborhoods next. East Liberty and Shadyside please!

[@bethnichols1288]

These are the best!! I'm a former Pittsburgher and I love these! You are skilled at really capturing the heart of these neighborhoods.

[@ihlecreations]

Just found your series and I have to say I love it. I lived and went to school in PGH in the mid 90's and I loved the city and you shoot it beautifully. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@dantecolorito2740]

Thank you! Thats very nice of you to say:)

[@shannonflaherty353]

I love that you put the bus in the sink hole! That will be forever remembered. And the dude in the suit is right downtown is like let's go place...it's not like being anywhere else in the city. Also can you do federal street in north side? Or maybe the Bellevue neighborhood?

[@terrenceharris9035]

What is the best neighborhood to live in?

[@shannonflaherty353]

@@terrenceharris9035 it depends on what your looking for, I grew up in Bellevue and the north side (federal street) I would say Bellevue is much more suburban. Federal street is so close to town and has so much history and beautiful old homes. Personaly I think federal street would be the one I would do a video on. Not because "better" to live in. But I think has a lot going for it. Also the have come and started re doing it putting new things in. Its becoming a nice place to live again. Which it was not for awhile at least when I was kid in the 90s and early 2000s.

[@rebekahmurphy2797]

You're extremely talented. I wholely enjoy every single bit of each of your PGH vids. Not just bc it's my home and the memories I hold dear.

Dude I totally saw you walking around Cultural District that day with your tripod wish I would have seen the videos before then I would have got to tell you how much I enjoy your videos in person, keep it up.

[@feralcatfamily3569]

I think you said it best, that even though Downtown is really small in area, when you're in it, it seems much larger. The two opposing street grids make it so that there aren't many sight lines out of the city. Similar to the way old Hollywood sets wrapped around giving the illusion it went on and on.

[@dianaalberter3319]

I just happened upon your videos and I’m hooked. Thank you for documenting our city. As someone who lives in a suburban bubble of sorts, this is a wonderful way to get a feel for our neighborhoods and communities ❤

[@djepps83]

I worked downtown for a year and I really do miss it. Just the buzz everyday was intoxicating.

[@kenzierose3247]

Absolutely love these videos! And that you were able to capture such a meme-able moment in this one (the bus lol). So glad you decided to continue this series! I think whenever you feel like making a video about something other than the neighborhoods a video about Pittsburghese would be amazing! I think you’re the guy who can really show off the vernacular of our beloved city in a super fun way! Keep it up!!

[@DeanBog]

I need to master my accent before I take a stab at pittsburghese. But yes certainly a worthy video topic.

[@kenzierose3247]

Dean Bog I’m looking forward to it!

[@MJarmell]

Elegant and stylish work portraying very accurately the small, but mighty dahntan. Thanks

[@ohhhsnap17]

Also fun fact. City has said it cost about $88,000 to remove the bus from the sinkhole. Road is still closed. Underground tunnels are being repaired currently. Still no time table for when it will be filled and fixed and opened

[@ohhhsnap17]

Downtown/city central is so small for Pittsburgh. Born and raised. I consider veterans and liberty bridge and the 579 corridor the border of the city. Surprisingly the city of Pittsburgh expands well beyond what I actually consider the city. I love the big city name with the small town feel of this city.

[@carmelnicolemiller5465]

Love love love this series. We recently moved to Arizona from Pittsburgh, and I miss it like crazy!!!!!

[@wadeguidry6675]

God you make me miss Pittsburgh! The business guy described the feel perfectly. I live near New Orleans now but I grew up in a small city (Erie, Pennsylvania) and went to school downtown at the Art Instituteof Pittsburgh.If someone asked me the most magical years of my life I would say it was 30 years ago when I lived in Pittsburgh. Great video!

[@markt.1196]

Super video as always! When you mention the 2 rivers splitting I think they actually come together at the point and flow in the opposite direction ? LOVE IT !!!!

[@jasondixon4834]

I was going to mention this -- it's a "confluence" of the two -- meaning they combine at the point to form the Ohio. They flow down from higher elevations in the laurel highlands and the hills of northern PA and southern NY, then slope down all the way to the Gulf of Mexico via the Ohio.

Please please make more of these! I’m moving to Pittsburgh soon and these videos have been so insightful! I’m thinking more east liberty/shadyside/friendship/lawernceville tho and you don’t seem to have many of them areas. loving the videos though!

[@huballsohard]

its really depressing to me that this has less views than the rest of the neighborhood videos. I think this is a great concept. Its like a modern day WQED observation. Everyone is worried about every politically driven agenda, but not about the things that built us to get where we are today.

[@jonathansiegel6386]

So cool. Keep em coming. A suggestion if i may. Its relatively small but. Station square if you haven't already. Ive started bingeing these today with my girlfriend. Were Mount Worshers and loved watching your piece on it.

[@lindafenk4537]

Im not certain what you said about the rivers but the Monongahela and Allegheny form the Ohio and the Ohio river runs north for miles and then swings down to the south. it may be the only river to run north.

[@robertahartley1]

I worked downtown 30 years...I saw four department stores close,the Jenkin's arcade,the mall by market square,Woolworth's,National Record Mart,Hare Krishna store,Candyramas,Palmer's restaurant,other nice restaurants with healthy lunch food,many union jobs gone,many other jobs gone in large bldgs replaced with hotel rooms,apt's,kids,dogs,more homelessness,panhandlers,worse crime...look at videos from the 1980's...but we are one of the best cities in the country a lot to do and going high tech .The 71 businesses damaged this year hopefully will re-open...

[@deeman524]

I think downtown Pitts was more interesting back in the 80s when Kaufman's and Gimbels was big business down there, since they moved out, it's never been the same since then, don't get me wrong, alot of new things are happening and many buildings have been rebuilt and remodeled , but it's just not the same, infact in my opinion, it's becoming more each day like a ghetto, the wrong people are hanging out there now just to be a pest and beg and they even got government housing down there now around the corner from Condominiums , there is shootings and fights down there pretty frequently. I was away for 30 years and recently returned, but I think I want to move back to the suburbs now.

[@CodeBleu724]

Nothing like downtown. Market Square is the place to be now. NOLA has good food and good music.
