NEIGHBORHOODS OF PITTSBURGH - SHARPSBURG

Support the show by giving this vid a share! Thank you for watching.
Thank you for having me Sharpsburg. Where should I go next?

[@nickkosak130]

That first guy you interviewed has an amazing Pittsburgh accent

[@mikek8718]

Cool place!! Thanks again

[@TravisGunn]

Miss your beautiful work bro. All the best.

[@xnick58x]

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 love this point. Its rural urban.

[@yvettejennymenase1095]

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

[@DeanBog]

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.

[@juliansluka5829]

AHHH THATS ME GETTING INTERVIEWED!!!!!

Ayo! Bummed I missed ya at the gym but dang what a cool spot. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@coolbreez773]

​@@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!

[@TM-bn8pv]

@@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.

[@robertahartley1]

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...

I love how everyone in Pittsburgh really loves their neighborhood.

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!

[@DeanBog]

I love that you're watching from the UK! so neat that these travel overseas.

[@olbrixx1482]

Lmao sharpsburg is a dump

[@ethanbox2010]

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.

[@clepperM]

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!

[@drewklemens4771]

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.

[@praski722]

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

[@DeanBog]

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.

[@marypetermasterman2895]

@@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.

[@AlbinoBlackHole]

You should go to the Southshide or the Strip District!

[@DeanBog]

Southside is gonna take a toll on me haha

[@robertwolf3969]

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.

[@stephen_hawes]

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.

[@DeanBog]

That makes a lot of sense! Im digging this motorized slider vid.

[@panickedantics7761]

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!

[@MichaelCook-bw4mr]

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!!

I’m HOOKED on this channel I live in Maryland but man your interesting and the content is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

[@joegirty6609]

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.

[@DeanBog]

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.

[@bridget117]

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.

[@rebelrebel224]

Excellent !! Your videos are so aesthetically pleasing you're a great talent!!! Please keep them coming I'm in love with this series!!!!👏👏🤗👏👏

[@DeanBog]

As always, THANK YOU.

[@danpatel21]

Mmm Deano, maybe my favorite one so far. Really beautiful atmosphere created throughout.

[@DeanBog]

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.

[@zachz96]

Maybe you should do East Liberty, Lawrenceville, or Aspinwall

[@DeanBog]

Thats a funny mix. What makes you say those?

[@marlenerapino4403]

What is your problem that he did Sharpsburg?

[@melissabridi5131]

[@DetectiveMekova]

@@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.

Finally, a well-made film about Pittsburgh. Excellent technique and content. Enjoying the work.

I hope you do squirrel hill soon!

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

[@MrSkateboarder33]

These videos are awesome I love the response to filming in the municipal building: “its part of the story”

[@lindadriscoll507]

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.

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!

[@GwresYnKernow]

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.

[@IndexError_]

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.

[@bonnevillebagger9147]

Don’t listen to these internet weirdos, Pittsburgh is the most livable city for a reason. Some people are just plain miserable.

[@IndexError_]

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

[@teeteereag1154]

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 ..

[@DeanBog]

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.

[@bryantmoore204]

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.
