City Brew Tours comes to Pittsburgh
Chris and Jill from upgruv was led on a preview of Pittsburgh's latest venture: City Brews Tours. Our guides promised a van full of eager people they would be drinking buddies in 20 minutes, and wouldn't you know it: They were right.
Nine breweries in the Pittsburgh area are participating: Aurochs, Hop Farm, Draai Laag, Allegheny City Brewing, Penn Brewery, Hitchhiker Brewing Co., Spoonwood Brewing Co., Couch Brewery and Grist House Craft Brewery. More will be added in coming months.

Study: Pittsburgh Is The 5th Gloomiest City In The Country
A recent study has found that Pittsburgh is the fifth gloomiest city in the country, which is at least better than first, right?
I drove through the WORST parts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is what I saw.
What is happening in America? Pittsburgh suburbs are a total wasteland!
The last stop on our road trip 2019/2020 was in the city of Pittsburgh. We took I-79 south through pretty rolling Pennsylvania countryside, which had been recently snowed upon. However, this winter has been an unusually warm one in this region, and the temperature was a balmy 40 degrees.
We pulled into Pittsburgh on Thursday, January 9, 2020 at 2 in the afternoon.
In today’s video, we’ll give you a brief rundown on the city of Pittsburgh, share a few insights and a couple of experiences. Then, we’ll take you to a Pittsburgh suburb, which was perhaps the absolute worst place I’ve ever seen in person.
Pittsburgh is located at the convergance of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers. The whole Pittsburgh metro area is surrounded by hills. The city made it name in the steel industry, hence the big steel bridges and the city’s football team, the Steelers.
Pittsburgh is a very poor city, and we’ll get a look at that in a minute. But it has SOME rich people. Particularly in the Shadyside and North Squirrel Hill neighborhoods. Here’s North Squirrel Hill. This is the richest neighborhood in Pittsburgh where residents earn about $100,000 a year on average, and homes cost about $500,000.
This is shadyside, a modern chic neighborhood with upscale shopping and dining. Women wear their yoga pants to lunch here, even in foot deep snow.
The food is decent. I didn’t get a chance to try the Pittsburgh version of the Cheesesteak, but I DID have perhaps the best sandwich I’ve ever had at a place called Pork and Beans downtown. It was called their classic, and was composed of primarily beef brisket and cheese. I didn’t think to take a picture of it until it was gone.
I also ran into a guy who wore WAY too much cologne who I swore is on the Pittsburgh Steelers. I should have asked him.
Of course we didn’t come here to walk around downtown. We came to see the WORST part of town. I had originally planned to film two northeast pittsburgh slums - areas called Homewood and Larimer, which I had heard resemble the gutted out areas we had seen in other dying rust belt communities.
But in downtown, I asked a friendly bartender in what she thought of Homewood and Larimer. She told me if I REALLY wanted to see the WORST areas of Pittsburgh, I needed to see the south side. She said it was one of the most dangerous cities in the country - a place called McKeesport.
Whenever there’s a shooting or a crime or all the cops go somewhere, it’s in McKeesport, she said.
So the next day, we went off to Mckeesport to see what all the fuss was about.
McKeesport is a tiny city that’s only about 10 miles south of Pittsburgh, but because the region is so hilly, getting there takes nearly 30 minutes on windy, sad, beaten up roads.
Just like every other former steel town, McKeesport was hit hard when steel makers left the region. This city once had more than 50,000 people, but now, it has less than 20,000.
Here’s another cop. We saw 5 in the 20 minutes we spent driving around.
There are many other areas on Pittsburgh’s fringes like McKeesport - but not nearly so dangerous or destitute. This is another area 10 minutes from McKeesport on the city’s east side. Pittsburgh’s whole east side of pockmarked with crime and poor rundown neighborhoods.
We also visited the original ghetto hoods we had planned to visit. Here’s a look at Homewood and Larmer on Pittsburgh’s northeast side.
These places need help. They need a community leader to step up and do something or these places are going to disappear one day, as everyone either flees or dies.
These neighborhoods are just a small glimpse as to what it looks like when a city like Pittsburgh goes from a population of 700,000 to 300,000 in only about 60 years.
The rust belt tour was over. We had witnessed places like East St Louis, Lansing, Buffalo and Pittsburgh and how the loss of industry and a shrinking economy has made these cities sad, dangerous, empty and soulless. These places don’t look like America of the 1950s. They don’t even look like they should be in America at all.
As I pulled back into Raleigh, the following day, I was greeted by a muggy, party sunny sky, a far cry from the cold I had experienced for the past three weeks. But nowhere near as cold as it should have been. The green colors and overall positive vibes were welcome. It was nice to be home.

Pittsburgh Confesses Its Love For Beer, Turns Church Into Brewery
There are hundreds of thousands of churches in the United States. And though some 4,000 to 5,000 new congregations open their doors in the country each year, just as many close, mainly due to economic reasons. The vacant churches are then remodeled and reused as apartment complexes, bookstores and museums. Or turned into breweries, as was done in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Nataliya Leonova has the story.

How to have a funky weekend in Pittsburgh
Looking for a fun weekend trip? This video shows why you should consider Pittsburgh. As you’ll see, so many spots here will blow away what people might expect of this city.
Take Randyland, for example, where you can reimagine what a neighborhood looks like through a collection of found art. Then there’s the contemporary art at the Mattress Factory. Or how about the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, a paddle trail along the Allegheny River you can access right from downtown? There are so many surprising places, like the feminist makerspace, Prototype, or Church Brew Works, a beautiful church fittingly repurposed as a brewery.
If you want a fun weekend, don’t be afraid to hit up Pittsburgh. Just make sure to bring your A game when it’s time to bowl.

Pittsburgh
Recorded October 13, 2019
My day in Pittsburgh begins as I drive through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and over to the Duquesne Incline. I ride the funicular up Mt. Washington to Grandview Avenue for spectacular views of the city. That is followed by a three rivers sightseeing cruise after which I check into my hotel.

Pittsburgh Neighborhoods: Stanton Heights
More info at
A Brief History of Stanton Heights
Stanton Heights is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh’s east city area. It’s a quiet neighborhood with private homes and duplexes. The area is relatively new to the City of Pittsburgh. It only became a designated neighborhood a little over 50 years ago. Before that, it was actually a country club (the Stanton Heights Golf Course). Due to this, the neighborhood has no commercial area and many do their shopping in nearby Lawrenceville, East Liberty, Shadyside, Bloomfield and Squirrel Hill.
Fun Facts
Stanton Heights has an extremely active Facebook page, with over 600 likes. Their vibrant community life is evident on the page, with a briskly attended Holiday Happy Hour and volunteer opportunities to clean up litter and plant new trees in the neighborhood. The park behind Sunnyside Elementary is know as Dinan Park with a “Pony” sized ball field and a playground. This growing area is also home to a rain garden, the Stanton Heights Rain Garden. Currently they are growing hops for a local brewery! The neighborhood is known as a peaceful and quiet area, great for families. It’s proximity to some of Pittsburgh’s best shopping and dining areas is considered a positive all around.
