Squirrel Hill PA - A Neighborhood of Joy, Wealth, Scandal & Tragedy - What Makes It Special?

[@highlife0586]

I remember going through the Squirrel Hill tunnel and a "head shop" from the early 70's called "Heads Together".

[@tomstaniech9233]

Great record store and other stuff

[@mikeference2332]

Do u remember that that head shop also sold water beds?

[@davidecasassa8679]

HT was a frequent after-school stop for myself and friends; great music store and friendly ownership.

Thank you for this opportunity to revisit a place very near to me. Though I’ve been in California for twenty years now, Pittsburgh/Sq. Hill are in my DNA.

[@janholder2286]

I lived with and worked for a lovely Jewish family in Squirrel Hill on Woodland Rd in the early eighties...very fond memories❤

[@egold2071]

Very nice piece! Never knew Lady Schenley was such a saga. Saved the best for last too! Squirrel Hill Cafe there has life-altering wings and a chipper staff! 🤘

[@lesal.1373]

Henry Clay Frick's home was in Point Breeze not Sq. Hill. Clayton still stands and is open to public tours. Many of the wealthy had mansions in Point Breeze, just north and east of Sq. Hill.

Nice video. Thanks for making and sharing.👍

[@bryanzhang314]

i have been living in squirrel hill for 3 years now. really love this area.

[@kenosabi]

Its a beautiful spot. Incredibly safe and friendly. I dropped some money over on Murray one time and someone ran up the street to give it back to me.

[@tedmerr]

how could anyone not? It was literally Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. My dad's cousin lived there too.

[@thomasbridges7323]

Wow now i know the history of my city great to hear how its got it's name i like this kind of stuff plus to see we in Pittsburgh still has places like thia around very sorry to hear of the crimes really some thing how here in 2022 as bad as its gotten in the world we can still find some peace at home watching history of different cities thanks

The picture on the thumbnail and at 10:48 is of central Oakland (when the Cicero's owned a lot of property there), not Squirrel Hill. (Note the Strand Bowling Alley.) As a ;lifelong (76 year) Pittsburgh resident, I am always irritated by narrators who don't know how to pronounce "Carnegie.." The people of Dunfirmline, Scotland would emphasize the second syllable (as do true Pittsburghers), not the first syllable (as do Irish-influenced New Yorkers).

[@thegman4990]

oh yeah, good old Pittsburgh.

[@richardphipps1507]

Town Tours will soon be popular!!!

[@anitapotts4429]

Not if they keep pushing their political views on people!

[@ontrelwigvehl871]

experimentation is no foreign belief for Town Tours!

[@dirindilla]

that just went in cloud number 7 🎧🥉

[@orrenhummer7189]

pure coincidence alone got me to it 🕹

[@zacfabian3046]

I use to work for a moving company in Pittsburgh and we moved a very nice old lady up there and she's said she was the little girl for "The Walton's"..

[@osmanaabdi4493]

Hmmm, interesting matter for me 😃

[@leannsherman6723]

Skirmishes? I wouldn't have chosen that word. I grew up in Squirrel Hill.

[@justetv0505]

Holy cow 12:50 murder case! I knew Steve Tilch!!! Went to high school with him. he also killed my good friend Kevin Ohm in a car wreck!!!

[@SincerelyFromStephen]

Update: The synagogue shooter has been sentenced to death

[@genetyburn951]

THEY. FORGOT TO. MENTION....... OSCOUR LAVANT, GENE KELLY, Gene TYRNAUER

[@trishanewcomb964]

wanted to shrug off that one originally but couldn't hold off at all. 👍

[@fergusroldan1886]

I believe it's needless to state that we need more facts about cities‼🐰

[@1776Based]

Where can you find kosher food?

[@egold2071]

Legend has it that Gianiggle up 'air on Murray Ave has lots of Kosher stuff, and the bakery is exclusively kosher. (So I get mines dahn the Murray/Loretta street one. Love me some bacon donuts ay!)

[@WilliamMannPGH]

Squirrel Hill is the closest thing to Brooklyn that Pittsburgh has.

[@HwoarangtheBoomerang]

14:12 You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

[@davidecasassa8679]

It must be rough to be triggered by historical fact. . . .Bowers (the shooter) himself acknowledged the political and social context which influenced his ideology and his actions. As a lifelong Squirrel Hill resident, I can attest that this heinous act was, and still is, a tragic milepost that looms over the community.

[@hawaii5-086]

there is loads of spice in it!

[@tomlester5291]

Very interesting history of this great neighborhood. Unfortunately, a couple of quick political points were added in a very inappropriate manner. Very disappointing.

[@anitapotts4429]

Points that were incorrect.

[@HeidiMuster]

I love Pittsburgh, despite this hehehe

[@sheehy933]

The picture of President Trump with the words "hate" and "extremism" enblazened next to him was a low blow. President Trump was/is a supporter of the Jewish community and Israel.

[@carlkelly7885]

Diaper Don only cares about himself. Try reading more.

[@sheehy933]

@@carlkelly7885 Depends on what you read. You're obviously deep into the woke agenda with an unhealthy dose of TDS.

[@mikes8248]

That's comical and sad if you believe such nonsense.

[@davidecasassa8679]

Not to mention a purveyor of anti-semitic tropes for his entire adult life, because his fans demand it. So there's that.

[@joycepeak1784]

What wrong with you. This is not the whole story.

[@annpowell6764]

Ok at best. Choppy, deficient, not altogether accurate

[@ronblack2700]

Racist squirrel hill.

[@Leroy-wm4ib]

How do? Please explain thanks!!

[@davidecasassa8679]

Project much?
