Pittsburgh: The Comeback | TIME

America's steel city was left for dead after the industry collapsed in the 1980s. Unemployment soared, the population plummeted and corporations fled. But gradually, Pittsburgh weathered the rocky transition from an economy built on manufacturing to one driven by cutting edge research. This is the story of its rebirth.

Pittsburgh had a bad mill crash that caused it to miss out of the puberty of other American cities got. It’s a late bloomer of some sorts. Now in Portland Oregon and I can say, its a carbon copy of Pittsburgh.

[@mattlaccavole2958]

The intro to this video is all true. I am from Connecticut, and after spending a week hanging out in Pittsburgh, it's one of my favorite American cities, by far. It was nothing like I expected it to be, and the sense of community and regional pride is palpable. The people were diverse, genuine, and the cost of living seemed manageable compared to where I am from.

[@meem527]

Born and raised in Pittsburgh. I’ve lived through the might of the mills, the power of steelworker unions, the fall of industry here but the subsequent rise of tech, medicine, arts & education and of course the rise of the amazing Steelers and the Steelers Nation. The endowments of the wealthy Pittsburgh families-Carnegie, Frick, Mellon, Hillman, Westinghouse have kept Pittsburgh alive through all the changes. We have so much culture for a city built on labor and immigrant families including 9 theaters in a 14 block area, museums galore, incredible history and historical sites, great ethnic neighborhoods with awesome food, street food and award winning dining. It’s a beautiful city that never ceases to take my breath away.

The real reasons to be Proud of Pittsburgh

[@bmjv77]

Pittsburgh is truly unique. It's at the crossroads of Appalachia, the east coast, and the Midwest.

[@jamesmooney8933]

Pittsburgh is the beginning of the Mid-west. Pittsburgh has nothing to do with the East Coast. Philadelphia is East Coast. The site of Pittsburgh was determined by George Washington. It was a mistake to exclude Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. The Whiskey Rebellion was fought by farmers outside Pittsburgh, because of an unfair tax on Whiskey. Farmers in Pittsburgh had a problem getting their gain over the Appalachian Mountains. So they made it into Whiskey, in order to transport it to the East. Also, Pittsburgh had a problem in 1876. Brakemen were necessary to stop each Railroad car on a train. The Brakemen would climb on top of each Railroad car and turn the brakes on with a large wheel on top of the car, then walk across each Railroad car to turn on its brakes. This was a dangerous job. The Pennsylvania Railroad President Scott ordered to cut the number of brakemen on each train. Pittsburgh strikes. Philadelphia sent the Pennsylvania National Guard on a weekend. The National Guard came to Pittsburgh on a train. Because it was the weekend, the factory workers, and mill workers were off. As the Pennsylvania National Guard rolled into the Pittsburgh Railroad Yard, the Pittsburgh were stationed on 200 foot cliffs next to the Railroad Yard. The Pittsburghers had the Pennsylvania National Guard pinned down. Pittsburghers destroyed the Yard in support of the Brakemen. It was a Pittsburgher George Westinghouse who invented the Airbrake to stop Trains. Then there was the Homestead Strike were Pittsburghers fought the Pinkertons. Pittsburgh has very little to do with the East coast.

[@Zaximillian]

The best phrase I can describe Pittsburgh with "The Biggest Small Town In America". We really do have upper class gems of culture right next to blue collar grit right next to hipster cool. Pittsburgh is thus parochial in its neighborhoods, and quality of life can change by block or street. Its identity is unified by its sports teams' prestige, and that's the only civic arrogance you might see here, which also doesn't last long. It's a quilt of lifestyles, and for a mostly conservative city, we are also pretty open minded, if hesitant. We're friendly here, and we don't strut around with any kind of big city airs, and we distrust even our fellow Pittsburghers who do. The joke is that "nothing ever changes in Pittsburgh", even while we're ushering in a third, fourth, fifth Renaissance. In a backhanded way, we're proud of that. Pittsburghers stay true to themselves. Our city changes slowly, but sparkles with tiny gems if you know where to mine them. We craft things here, and we like to be steady and tough. I think Pittsburgh is pretty fertile ground to do what you want to do, if you can stay humble, chip in, do a full day's work.

Outsiders whom have never been here, think of Pittsburgh the way they were taught about it in school. That its industrial only, dirty, polluted, etc... When people arrive here, they're pleasantly surprised. It's a big city with a small town feel. The people are the best. Food is amazing. So much nature all around. Can't beat it. :)

[@jimmythegentconway8690]

Believe if i lived in california i would feel the same

[@penguinsfan251]

I retuned here 21 years ago. Pittsburgh has become a white collar city that has retained a blue collar mentality. The metropolitan area has its pockets of growth and areas that went down the tubes during the 1981 recession and have never recovered (the Mon Valley and the Beaver Valley). We lost not only steelmaking but several large corporation headquarters, like J&L, Gulf Oil, US Air and others. It was due in large part to the presence of Pitt and CMU that Pittsburgh did not dry up and blow away. Recreation here is amazing and it is superior to many metro areas of similar and larger sizes. We have the Great Allegheny Passage, the bike trail that took over abandoned railroads to make a trail that stretches from the Point to Georgetown, and other great bike trails like the Montour. People here love to hunt and fish (and these people are the original enviornmentalists) and there is plenty of opportunity to do both. Kennywood is a marvel, a small theme park that is a local icon and a favorite through the generations. You don't have to go far to ride an excursion train or go skiing. On sunny afternoons one sees plenty of pleasure boats all over the rivers. Pittsburgh has had an impact on America's history that is huge and far out of proportion to the population size of the metropolitan area. Pittsburgh isn't perfect. There are things I miss, such as the Downtown Kaufmann's department store. We ought to have a better highway network. I really don't like the fact that Pittsburgh has been ruled by one partly longer than China or Cuba. Peduto wants Pittsburgh to be another hip, trendy Portland, and we need only be ourselves.

[@624ossicheronee7]

There's a lot of "old money" in Pittsburgh along with, obviously, some very smart, savvy people that would never have allowed this city to die. They would have collectively come up with some means of bringing the city back. The cooperation among all groups in the city helped save it too. That's the spirit of Pittsburghers.

[@rorymonaghan950]

Very true and inspirational comment, while as a kid, bike lanes and the environment are my biggest issue, your absolutely right about everything. I'll have to look deeper at Mr P's policies... Your not just mourning about long gone steel mills, what you speak about is not unrealistic.

You just plugged CMU the entire video...

[@peterp1158]

3:53 The title says "CMU", but it's the University of Pittsburgh in the background. lol

[@cinderblockstudios]

@04:20 "That was called the US Steel building once." Actually it still is. Even withing UPMC people still call it "The Steel Building" or "Steel Tower"

[@melodyclinton457]

Cinder Block Studio keeping the faith.... will remain ingrained in our minds as the U.S. Steel Building👍🏻

Never been to Pittsburgh but I love it

[@timeghost5000]

We are special people. Migrants who descended on this land of many rivers for work. In the very beginnings, people who had nothing. And through it all, that blood continued on, thise ravaged by mills and hard labor under bosses who only cared on their deathbeds. A cruel, fruitful irony. We know what we are at every level. We are decent. We’re not nice people. We’re straight and to the point. We dose out our own medicine. No punches are pulled in any of the Valleys. So understand us. We survived here. No, it was not the end of the world, even though it was hell with the lid off. Anything can be remade. Anyone can be redeemed. Anything can start again. There were not rusted mills in ashes. Just the cigarettes the people smoked in the meantime. All love

hearing my dad talk about pittsburgh in the 1980's, as opposed to the pittsburgh I know is crazy to think about, how this city made such a 180 in the span of 40 years.

Pittsburgh have to comeback it was one of the city that made the us great

[@toso6535]

I came to this area to retire and for the appalachians - As a new comer it wasn't easy to figure where to live but I wound up buying a house in Westmoreland Co. Houses in Braddock , McKeesport , Rankin, pitcairne - just looked around the north and west was too pricey for me - I found a lot of old houses in westmoreland co. that needed a lot of work. I could have done a lot worse but I'm content in Trafford, PA

I enjoy going to Pittsburgh and staying in all the Great Hotels.

I have a great deal of affection for Pittsburgh and always have. But still I can't understand the constant bull about its comeback. I have been hearing that for decades. Sure, certain sectors are showing signs of life. My God I hope so! But overall, in spite of the fact so many people love it and want to move there, it continues to lose population. Even the metropolitan are cannot replace births. Face it, Pittsburgh like most of mid-America was screwed by Wall Street and Washington big time and overall continues to lose decent jobs.
