Amazing work! Pittsburgh is such a picturesue city - who woulda knew?! Your photographs have been a huge contributing factor to convincing to move here in a few years. Looking forward to seeing more.

Matt you are a genius……..and the clairity makes these series of pictures just incredible……I sent these on an e mail everywhere……..you’re amazing !!

I’m from England, but I lived in Pittsburgh in 1962-67 and worked at Hornes (My gap year lasted 5 years) These are absolutely superb photos and I admire your skill. I have not been back for many years …probably 30 but I could see considerable changes. I was on Forbes avenue at the YMCA when they built the IBM building (It is / was all diamonds and at the time quite the revolution. I think it was about that time when they built the Dome. Thank you for these stunning memories, I’m close to 70 and unlikely to return, but you never do quite lose memories of a place that treated me very well. I had many good friends but sadly one by one they stopped sending cards. Cheers, David Frances

My native city never looked so good, it makes you proud to be a Pittsburgher. I willshare these incredible photos with my friends in Dayton, Ohio

Our Pretty City. These photos are simply amazing. I love how you’ve captured the neighborhoods as well. I send this site over and over again to people. They just love it, and those who have moved on get to see a bit of their home town from your point of view. Love it and the Burgh,

Thank you so much for posting your amazing photos on the internet. my husband and I are both from Pittsburgh and our parents and families still live there. We are extremely proud of where we come from and have used your pictures as backgrounds on our home and work computers. We miss our home town so much and it’s great to be able to come here and look at pictures of the burgh to remind us of home! Your photos show others that Pittsburgh is so much more than just an old steel town.

I’m a Pittsburgher and have been in the south of France for 18 years Without returning! I live in the city of Sete,, there are some photos on my site.PGH sure has changed and I miss it!
You really just made my evening here. Thank-you for your beatifull work.

Joe Madeya

I’m a Pittsburgher and have been all my life. I just Love this city!! Thank You for your great work in capturing our neighborhoods as you did. I ahve sent this web site all over the country, and as far away as California!! Keep up the Good Work!!

As a native Pittsburgher now living in TN I really enjoyed looking at the pictures. I never tire of the view from Mt. Washington or coming out of the tunnels and seeing the point. You can take the kid out of the city but not the city out of the kid.

I left Pitts. in ‘55 and haven’t been back sicne…. It is not the Pitts. I knew then… but it has turned into a beautigful city…. but somehow I miss the old one. I doubt I will ever return but thanks for showing me what I am missing..

I live in Pittsburgh but I never saw the city like this. It was never this beautiful to me. Thank you for showing me how beautiful and colorful Pittsburgh really is. I will never think of my city the same way again. Ben

Thanks so much for the awesome pictures. My husband and I both wore born in Pgh. and after moving to Fl. when my hysband retired, he kept saying, you can take the boy out of Pa. but, you can`t take Pa. out of the boy. He has passed away and I wish he could have seen these. I will be moving back to Pa. soon, all the family is there. Thanks

Matt,
You are incredibly artistic! These photo’s are amazing. My husband son & I moved from Pittsburgh on Labor day weekend 2005 to move to Florida. The thing that I really miss besides my friends and relatives is the “Skyline of the City of Pittsburgh”, I even put that in my Christmas letter. Now, I have your site saved to my favorites and I look at these pictures at least once a week. Thank You!!

I was in awe looking at these pictures. I am sure glad that my friend forwarded them to me. Some of them are very significant to me as I was on the construction crew that built the PPG, Mellon buildings and the subway. I was an operating engineer and ran various cranes and heavy equipment in the Pittsburgh area from 1978 until 1987. I was one (1 out of 4) females to graduate from the apprentice program for Local 66. I was the first in Beaver County. I have since moved on in the career field by being employed by US Airways and have now took an early retirement because of health problems. I would like to buy one of the photos that has the PPG building and the Mellon building in it. I will let you know if you send me you email address or a phone number to call you…Keep up the great work..These pictures are all awesome….

Beautifil pictures ! Every single one. Pittsburgh is a great town, but it looks even more SPECTACULAR from your viewpoint ! Thank you !

What an awesome site. I grew up and Pgh and went to PITT. I live in Southern Calif now. Could you take some cold, ugly, dreary pics so I don’t miss the place so badly. The city would still shine through though. It has so much charachter and greatest people in the world!

Are you photo’s available for purchase in picture size?

I always know our city was beautiful!

We were both native Pittsburghers, and still have total love of the city. We now live in Florida,but our hearts are still with
the Burg. Love the photoe. Do again soon. Thanks

It just goes to show you that Pittsburgh is no longer (and hasn’t been for a very long time) the “smokey city.” These pictures are awesome! Proud to be a native Pittsburgher!

That’s my background. Born and raised southwest of Pittsburgh..spend 21 years there..Loved it then..love it now..Alwasy makes me feel special..I may be in CT now, but once a ‘burger’ always a ‘burger’..Keep the city safe..

i finally saw the pics of pittsburg.. and i am really amamzed on the beauty of the city and how everything blends together! i know some1 who lives there and now i really wanna see the city first hand!!

My dad sent these pictures to me. WOW! They are awesome and make be homesick!!! Thanks to whomever put this site together and and took the pictures. I love Pittsburgh and did I say I missed it!!!???

Just echoing the comments-I never missed Pgh so much! Even though I get back about every 2 years, I see the changes year in and year out. Nonetheless, I loved the city and didn’t move because I didn’t. Lived in Houston and Las Vegas, each has its appeal, but not like “home”. My Northside, Manchester, is long gone, but the spirit of Pgh continues.

the pictures of pittsburgh are beautiful

I was in yours city on summer holiday, graet city. I made a lot of pictures but not as good like this one. Take care Pittsburgh citizens:)

Wonderful photos. The skyline and landscape are very beautiful. Good work!

Beautiful!!!

Looks like a great place to live!

My Goodness what beauty. Funny how when you live near something you tend to take things for granted. I ive in Florida now, but I will always have western PA in my heart. GO STEELERS! Black and Gold forever!!!

Totally awesome photography! I really enjoy looking at quality work. Thanks.

Wow, what beautiful pictures,,they make me miss my hometown all the more. Love that city and those pictures are awesome.

These pictures are just awesome!!! I have lived in the Pittsburgh area all my life and never realized just how beautiful our city really is! Thanks for sharing - I plan on forwarding to all my friends!!! Keep up the good work.

These photos are amazing. Loved the angles, the colors, the composition. I always take visitors through the Fort Pitt tunnels to see the way the city just pops out before you unexpectedly. These photos gave me that same sensation.
Wish I knew your secret vantage point to shoot that front-on view of the city! West End, I’m thinking…

I have been living in Phoenix for 6 years now…and am homesick for Pittsburgh EVERY DAY. Thanks for the slice of home.

What a treat to see the roads, streets, rivers and buildings from various high points. These are places we travel periodically and it is great to see the overall connections. What beauty to behold. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

These are exquisite pictures of Pittsburgh!!!!!!!!!! Please keep them coming. Thank you so much.

Wow.. what memories.. its brings it all back .. there great

These photos brought tears to my eyes after being away for nearly a half century. As a vintage 1933 Pittsburgher, I am saddened by the absence of the steel mills, Forbes Field, bustling Penn Station, Schenley Mansion, old yellow trolleys, etc., but the City has acquired a new persona and is as impressive as ever. Thanks for the memories.

Received these photo’s from friend in Butler. It makes me very happy that I was able to live and work in Pittsburgh for 23 wonderful years. There is no city that is more beautiful to my eyes than these photo’s show me. Thanks for sharing them.

a dear and wonderful man in my life sent me the pictures of pittsburg. they are absolutely breathe taking. I am particularly fond of the nite time scenes. very inspiring.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU —YOUR PICTURES ARE OUTSTANDING AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I DON’T GET INTO
PITTSBURGH EXCEPT FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF SOME SORT. YOUR PICTURES SHOW ME HOW BEAUTIFUL OUR CITY IS AND HOW SPECIAL THE PEOPLE ARE WHO LIVE HERE.—-AGAIN A GREAT AND EXCITING CITY.

PAUL MCMANUS

This brings back a lot of good memories!

I am a native Pittsburgher and have lived here all my life except for a few years when my husband was in the Marines. It will always be the most beautiful city to me, as the people are the most wonderful and friendly. You have captured so much of the essence of the city, old and new. My daughter and I are season ticket holders for Pirates games, and we are actually in one of your shots-our seats are just up from first base. (I printed in and blew it up a bit and there we are!) Keep showing the world how great Pittsburgh really is. We Pittsburghers know it and it is wonderful to see how people from all over the world are saying the same thing.

Great memories - Thanks - One wonders why one leaves the great city.

I could have sat and scrolled through 40 more! I have been displaced for 15 years now and am always looking for an excuse to come “HOME”.

What a wonderful “vacation!” Pittsburgh is beautiful! Thank you!

Matt you are just awesome. I go home every year and I never tire of the beauty. I love your river scenes and especially the fireworks!!! Best seats our on the hill in the Southside to watch them go off. Spent many wonderful nights, drinking brewskys and eating cold chicken watching the fire works!!! I live in Texas but I’m still a picksburger at heart!

Blew me away…
I am former resident, with lots of family still in residence. Thanks for the great pics, ynz!!
I am curious about lots of them…so much new, but the old is fine and clean, while the new is spectacular and fresh.
Keep up the good work.

wow, amazing picture’s. A friend gave me the link to this site, & well it left me feeling like…. now I think I have seen another part of this world, I cant say that ive ever left New Zealand. It has made my desire to travel so much stronger. You take absolutley awesome photo’s. I was touched by them in ways I cant explain, truely magnificent. If I ever get the chance to travel to America I will most definatley drop in on Pittburgh.

I’m a Pittsburgher living in Las Vegas .. wow, these pictures made me homesick! I just loved each and every one of them! Thanks so much for sharing these with all us natives who miss our city so much!

I am a pittsburgher born and raised.. I had to move to florida for job related reasons.. But the pictures on this website are so amazing and breath taken, that it brought a tear to my eye looking at them… I love Pittsburgh and cannot wait to come back.. It is truthly one of the most beautiful cities in America

WoW—outstanding !!!!!!!!!

Born and raised nearly 65 years ago in a “haus” in “dawn-tawn” Pittsburgh; felt insulted when told by a Marylander that I had an accent back in the 60’s; then after visiting San Fransisco in the 70’s and seeing the architecture so re-vered, I felt I knew a big, big, secret….Pittsburgh is and always will be….a jewel in the rough. Thanks to the photo artist who has given us a look at one of the facets!!

very nice job

SUPERB - I’m homesick. Thank you so much.

Im from Canada and have lived in the Burgh for a while now. What I didnt see in your pics were all the homes situated up in the hills overlooking the whole view of pitts. I live on the South Side slopes and the view from my back porch is am
amazing. The homes up there are all very tall and very slender. It was the first time in my life that I had seen homes that looked like this. The one my husband and I bought was built in the late 1800’s. One thing you cant show in the pictures, is the friendliness of the people of Pittsburgh. Amazing for a city this big. Think the title “city of brotherly love” should have been named after the Burgh.

I AM SO LUCKY THAT I HAVE A FRIEND WHO FORWARDED THIS TO ME. THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL.
I LIVE ON THE SOON TO BE BOOMING NORTH SHORE; I LOVE THE URBAN LIFE. HOPEFULLY, AFTER OTHERS SEE THESE PICTURES (AND I WILL BE FORWRDING THIS TO EVERYONE) THEY WILL SEE THE PROMISE OF LIVING IN THE ‘CITY’.

Pittsburgh is a beautiful and unique city. I am lucky to have spent a lifetime living here.

BORN AND RAISED IN TC,PA. LIVE IN OHIO NOW……………..STILL SAY PITTSBURGH MY HOME. ITS A BEAUTIFUL CITY! LOOKING AT THESE PICTURE MAKES ME HOMESICK. HOPE SOMEDAY TO GO BACK TO LIVE. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine that lives in Pittsburgh sent these pics to me…….They are beautiful to say the least!!

My brother sent me your pics of Pittsburgh, …….. they are absolutely beautiful.!! Semding them on to friends & family in
Oregon, so they can see why I’ll always love the “Burgh”! I left PA at age 13, but as they say, ……. you may take the girl out of Pittsburgh, but you can never take Pittsburgh out of the girl.!!! Tho’ I love my home in the mountains of Idaho, part of my heart will always remain in Pittsburgh.
THANK YOU !!!!!!

Just beautiful. Visited the old home town last May and felt as comfortable as if I had never left. Thanks so much for this treat.

Absolutely fantastic and beautiful. What a City…..I have travelled all over the world….No city photographs quite like our Burgh. Bravo!

My home town never looked better. A special place with special people. Great work n@.

What a fabulous treat. Wish I could still live there.

Thanks for the work. You should be paid by the Chamber of Commerce. These photos are the best. My wife and I were born and raised in Tarentum. My Aunt and Uncle had a Dodge Dealership on East Carson Street (Romanik Motors). We left the area in 1967. We now live in Florida but go back as often as we can. I go to KDKA.COM every day just to keep up with what’s going on. We are avid Steeler Fans and we will always be Pittsburghers. Thanks again.

How beautiful and clean Pittsburgh now is. I remember the city 30 years ago when I was a foreign exchange student in Pennsylvania. Great change! Congratulations!
In the three-river-stadium we then saw a fabulous concert by Pink Floyd: “Dark Side of the Moon”.

Beautiful pictures The new staduims look great had an oppurtunity to go to Heinz field at Thanksgiving for the High School WPIAL Championships. Love my home in TN but you never forget where your roots are. You did a good job taking the pictures. GO STEELERS, BUCS & PENGUINS!!!

Pittsburgh, we miss you!!!!! We recently moved to upstate NY from the Burgh. We will always remember beautiful Pittsburgh. We will come and visit often.

I graduated from Tech in 1956 and came to California and worked in aerospace. I’m retired and a widower and I’d love to return to Pittsburgh and live but I don’t think I could handle those winters again. It’s a beautiful city that got a lot prettier since I left 50 years ago. Thanks for the wonderful pictures.

Great set of photos, never been to America but this gives me a very good idea of what it must be like

You are supposed to shoot pictures to remind people why they left this beautiful city. Slush, snow and dreary skies. I guess the good out weighs the bad…….. Really nice job, thank you.

What great pictures of the greatest place on earth!! Now living in FL but my heart will always be in Pittsburgh. GO STEELERS!!

Makes me proud to say “I’m from da Burgh.” I’d live nowhere else.

Great pictures. Penna. will always be home, but I prefera the Florida sunshine to the snow & ice & slush in Penna.

I hope everyone has a chance to visit or live in Pittsburgh. Believe me you wont be disappointed. Matt, take pictures during the sunset at around 6 in the fall away from the city, beatiful sunset. Thanks for the pictures. I hope everyone enjoys

WOW!

Wow, Wow, wow!…loved the pics, absolutely beautiful and nalstalgic! Brought tears to my eyes because this is the essence of the ‘Burgh’ I miss the most. Thank you for showing the world one of the reasons Pittsburgh was voted the most livable city. My husband & I moved to Annapolis, MD 20 yrs ago (nice town but it is not the ‘Burgh’). We still have our house there and will never sell for this reason, we always want to have some part of it and will always come back as often as life allows. We will certainly pass these on to friends & amily. We started a little league progarm here (football, basketball & cheerleading) for under priveledged children and named them the Brownswoods Steelers. YEAH! go Steelers!You do great work, keep it up and thanks.

Stunning - love the lightning. Sunsets for your next project would be superb. Yinz got dawn tawn alright. Da Burgh born and raised and anytime I have traveled not only do I mention the burb I live outside of but ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO MENTION THAT I’M A PITTSBURGHER and it’s the best place in the world to live for many reasons - to mention a few - the people - the entertainment and the sports.

As a retired Pittsburgher and also USAF, I was really impressed with your gallery of photos. I would like to know if prints are available and if so what are your fees? There are several that I would like to frame in 8×10 size. My thanks in advance for your reply. Bob Moler

Born and raised in the Burgh Moved to Charlotte to be with my daughter and her family. in 1999. My heart will always be in Pgh. and with the Steelers. The pictures are just beautiful. My cousin sent them to me. I thoroughly enjoyed every one. Brought many wonderful memories. I am now 67 years old, a great time for memories. Thank You.

Was in the Burgh in 1963 while transitting to Wright-Patterson AFB to stay with my uncle until I enlisted in the AF in Columbus, OH. Only spent one night in Pittsburgh and never realized how beautiful the city was/is.

A military buddy of mine from the 60’s still lives in the Burgh. He is the “T”. I am the “Z”. He referred me to the site.
Thanks “T” for the view. He’ll know what these letters mean.

WOW Steelers country looks great I wish I was there. I been born and raised in Montana all my life, but wishes I could moved to Pittsburgh to see the Steelers,Penguins,Pirates, Panthers,and Explosion. My brother send me these nice pictures and he lived here since 1970’s. and I been a Steelers and Pittsburgh fan since. I have visit here 3 times,now making plans to come here again to see the 5th super bowl trophy. GO STEELERS

Moved out to Denver from Pittsburgh. Love it here, but will always bleed black and gold. Thanks for the great pictures! Made me homesick! Pictures couldn’t have showed up in my mailbox at a better time, knowing the Pens will stay in the city for a while longer. THANKS, MARIO!

I spent two holidays in Pittsburgh (May 2004 & May/June 2006) staying at my friends Bob & Gill. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and absolutely loved Pittsburgh and was made to feel very welcome by all the Americans I met. The photographs are stunning and brought back many happy memories of my stay in your wonderful city. Looking forward to my next trip.

Ynzs guys made me sick. HOMESICK

Once a Pittsburgher, always a Pittsburgher. We have been in Arizona for 30 years and truly love it but there will always be a warm place in our hearts for one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Great photographs! Great City! Great People! Great Memories!

There is no city in the world that looks quite like this! I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my entire life, and I plan to keep it that way. Excellent photos!

I want to come home! Someday, maybe. You know, we always come back! ;O)

you can take the boy out of pittsburgh but you can,t take pittsburgh out of the boy how true is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proud to be a Pittsburgher, Good Work !!!!

Awed by your fantastic pictures! A native born and raised in Mt. Washington, enlisted in the USN (61 years ago), but have been home often ever since, and still love and miss it. But your pictures made me realize how great the city is, and to recall memories trekking it as a kid down the incline and over the Smithfield Street Bridge. Thanks for the memories.

Good Work,keep it up.

THANKS

AWESOME

Although I have been away from Pittsburgh for 24 years, I was born and bread of Steel. Matt your photos touched my soul and make me proud to say I am from the Burgh

Have lived in OH since 1961. I was raised in Ingram. Bless you for these beautiful views.

Hands down one of the most beautiful cities! Keep up the great work Matt and thanks for the BEAUTIFUL pictures you brought to the world!

What a spectacular presentation of our beautiful and colorful city. I have lived here all of my life and have surely seen the changes along the way. What a sharp contrast to the mental pictures I have stored in my mind of how the city looked back when I was a child!! What a treat to see the city through your eyes….

BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE THE COLOR OF THE PICTURES. U COULD ALMOST FEEL THE EXCITEMENT AS IF U I MYSELF WAS A PART OF IT OF THIS EXCITING CITY. I’VE NEVER BEEN 2 PITTSBURH, BUT I MIGHT JUST HAVE 2 VISIT THIS CITY REAL SOON!!!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE PICTURES WERE JUST GEOGEOUS THE CITY IS BEAUTIFUL AND YOU CPATURED THAT

I have never seen Pittsburgh look this awesome. WOW! We have moved to Florida, but I will never forget my roots, and I proudly say that Pittsburgh is a great city. These pictures exemplify what a great city Pittsburgh is.

Thank you so much for sending these beautiful photos of “My Burgh” I have lived in Boston Area for 33 years but I always want to go back to Pittsburgh where the real people are. The colors and sections photograph ed just brought it all home to me here. I hope someone sends them again each time you take them.

These are some fabulous pictures of the city. I have lived here all my life and have never seen all these shots. Thanks

Just saw the picks of the burgh and realized how much we miss it. We left beaver valley in 86 and go back every couple of years .Fla is nice but you can take the people out of Pittsburgh but younzs can’t take the Pittsburgh out of the people some really great pics thanks Al and Ida Pletz

Thank you for the beautiful pictures of “home”. One of my best friends sent this e-mail along to me. We both worked in the O.R. at Allegheny General for years. It’s been a while since either of us lived in the ‘burgh, but you never forget it & you never stop loving it. Steeler, Penguin & Pirate fans FOR LIFE!!!

Thanks to the person that took these pictures I was raised on the northside in Allegheny Co. I now live in Ga but pittsburgh will always be my home.

Matt…I have seen your pictures before, some years ago. Your photographic skills have grown as awesome as our city has. I can see you love Pittsburgh as much as I have all my life. Keep on snappin’ those shots of the bridges and the rivers so everyone can see how much they are a part of us. I loved your neighborhood shots too. They really picked up the character of this big city made of little villages. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and these awe inspiring photos. The continuous loop video was pretty cool, too! All the best!
Lynn

Great pics - miss Da ‘Burgh!

My husband and were both born and raised in Pittsburgh, and now live in Las Vegas. We miss the “burgh” but not the weather. But these pictures really bring back memories. It is a great city.

Pictures are great. Loved em’. Thanks

I lived in Pittsburgh for just a few years but loved every minute. These pictures are a wonderful reminder of a beautiful city. The photography is spectacular. Thanks.

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh area. I left in the 70’s. Big changes have been made to my old home town. For the better I must admit. Really greatful to see it again.

I am a native Pittsburgher and love these pictures. It makes me proud to share these photos with my family and friends, some who have never visited. Thank you for all the great pics!

Grew up in Wilkins Twp. I could go for a Vincents Pizza right now!

WOW Pittsburgh is awsome and your pics make Pittsburgh look as good as NYC or LA. NICE JOB!!!

GO STEELERS, PENGUINS, and PIRATES!!!!

Pittsburgh will always be my home. These pictures really show the ethnicity that makes up this great city. I’m homesick all over again!

Thank you!

Soooooo! Proud to be a Pittsburgher. Your pics just gave my home town pride a welcome boost. Thank You.

Pittsburgh is AWESOME!!!!!!!

such a great city. we miss it very much. I love every single pic.

Grew up in Beechview, South Hills Catholic, CCAC and Duquesne grad. I get home often, every chance I get. Always have to go up to Mt. Washington and take some photos. Beautiful shots, Thanks

The photos are amazing. loved very much………………………

Excellent pictures, Pittsburgh is home to me and my family and we are always finding time to look a great photos of are city. I have some amazing pictures of the city hanging in my house and are looking forward to many more. keep up the great work and hope you enjoy the great days of capturing excellent photography of our amazing city.

The “Burgh certainly has changed alot since my days at Kiski School from 1970-74. It was a scary place at that time, being a Native Californian etc. It was old, dark, smoky, and I had never seen anything like it before.

But now the City of Steel and Coal had been polished to a Diamond!

Long live the’Burgh!!

I love these pictures. I am living elsewhere right now, but hope to go home in the future for good. Pittsburgh is and always was a great and beautiful city. I miss the people and the weather. I am so happy that other people feel the way I do about my home town. Thank you for this gift.

I have a fondness for Da’ Burgh. My father lived there, deriving from Wales. Also, my best friend lives there . As others on this web, I have traveled and had extended stayovers all over the world. Your pictures are stunning, really!! As I was born and raised in Miami, every year for Fall I drive up north.Brookline is my midway stop..Yeah!! Lucky me for knowing your “Burgh”….

FABULOUS AND AMAZING ! ! ! ! ! PITTSBURGH IS THE ‘BURGH’ AND THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE IT.

Great pictures, I was fortunate to have lived and worked in Pittsburgh untill 1996 and saw the great changes that took place. The pictures allowed one to see what occured all at once.

Simply beautiful!
I forward this link to people I meet around the world who, when they ask me where I am from, tend to say, “Pittsburgh?! Ugh! Isn’t that a dirty, gray steel town?” I tell them, “Not any more!”
I LOVE my city!

My niece from Clearfield, PA sent me these pictures. I am still wiping the tears from my eyes. They are awesome. My Mother worked as a janitress in the Keenan Building right there in Pittsburgh, many a night I looked from the 21st floor at this beautiful city. I love it and I miss it. Eugene too. Spent weekends at the Civic Arena and Heinz Hall performances, never forget it. We live in the Florida Keys, when visiting Pennsylvania, catch Pittsburgh every chance we get. Contratulations on a tremendous collection. Go Steelers…we are counting on you!!!!

What a trip back in time! I lived in Pittsburgh back in the late sixties when I was attending Pitt. Too bad we didn’t have the money to truly enjoy all that the city had to offer at the time. You know how it is with poor students! Great pix! I always enjoy going back for a visit!

Those pictures were so beautiful I got goosebumps! I live in NYC but grew up in Pittsburgh. I have always and still feel it is the most beautiful city and your pictures just confirm the truth. I am a little homesick now! Thanks so much for the wonderful pictures. I can’t wait to send them to all my friends!

Can any of your photos be purchased? I am interested in a photo from the January 2007 series to give to neighbors who are moving away from Pittsburgh.
Thanks for your help.

What a nostaglia trip. We have seen some of these views recently, but didn’t know there was so much to see. A hearty thank you.

Carlynton High 1988! After moving I have realized American steel had died, as well as textiles and furniture in NC…now. What Pittsburgh has NOT failed in, is bringing educated, wonderful talent to the world! I would gather it is now Pittsburgh’s biggest export! I See them everyday. I have never met an expatriate Pittsburgher that will not make you feel at home. It is the great city we come from. The pictures are marvelous! Thanks Matt!

iwas there about ten years ago all i can say is it cleans tery welllllllll

Delphine Clemons was my initial contact to Pittsburgh and what awesome memories. Jus arrived from Wiesbaden Germany to Pittsburgh and was recieved by Delphine Clemons. Responisble, dependabe, trustworty, and Best of All, a real down to earth person who cared to help us. Her professionalism brought us peace of mind from transitioning from Europe to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh should be very proud of one speacial realtor, DELPHINE CLEMONS.
Delphine taught us Pittsburghs’s culture, Good health, family , and blessing all around you in lovely Pittsburgh.
It’s all about culture.

I’m so glad my sister sent me these beautiful pictures! I live in utah now and it’s great to show my kids where I grew up! Thanks for taking such wonderful photos, you are so talented! Love it!! Makes me a bit homesick though.

Great memories of a great city. I run into ex-Pittsburghers from Honolulu to Texas. Everyone is proud to announce they are “Burgers”. Your photos make it clear, why.

OMG!!!

I thank you for the pleasure of vewing the current advancements that a great amount of moniew can accomplish for Pittsburgh. Needless to say, “If if was not for Mr. Carnegie and additional gentlemen involved with high finances, the progress of Pittburgh is showen without and fanfair in the photographs sharred to all who visit your website.” congradulations.

Hart And Sole ! Therefore Theres No Place Like Home But The Burg . Youns Know What-I- Mean GRATE JOB MATT

Matt
Thank you for the wonderful photos. Whenever I am feeling homesick for my Pittsburgh, I pull up your website. My father always impressed upon me never to forget where I had come from…and I am proud to say Pittsburgh!

What ever happened to the “smokey city” ?

Proud Pittsburgher here! There is nothing like it!

The amazing thing is as great as your images are they don’t show the best part of Pittsburgh, the people. I miss it and someday will be back.

AMAZING PICTURES OF AN AMAZING CITY. BIG ENOUGH TO BE A CITY, SMALL ENOUGH TO HAVE THE CHARM OF A SMALL TOWN. I AM VERY PROUD TO LIVE HERE…..

Just recently moved to Roanoke, VA, and while we are happy to be here, we will always be ‘from da ‘Burgh’! We encounter Pittsburghers every where we go and it’s like a family reunion. We are very unique and special folks.

I hope some day the city can reclaim its economic vibrancy so the younger generations can stay and raise their families in this wonderful town.

God bless Pittsburgh and its greatest asset, her people!

Wow. I just love the burgh’ so much. Whomever you are Matt, you go boy!!!!! What a great job and thanks for sharing it with us.

World Class Photos! I was born and raised in the South Hills and left in 1983 for Dallas, TX. These pictures make me homesick. Pittsburgh is a place filled with beautiful sites, culture and friendly people.

THESE PICTURES ARE AWESOME.

My husband drives a semitruck….was strange i got these the day before he is going there..I never liked to travel, but didn’t have any idea the city was that beautiful…The next trip he takes there, i will be going with him to actually see thru my own eyes….The pictures were breathe taking……very beautiful…not like i thought it would be at all…I am so glad I was sent these pictures thru E-mail….or i would have never known how big and pretty the city really is…..

Sent your web-link by a P’gh native (my cousin) & forwarded info to a P’gh-er co-worker. Absolutely beautiful photos! My cousin misses her hometown & LOVED your photos.

I recieved this from a very good freind of mine back there in the Burgh and these are probably the best photos that I’ve seen of the city. They really illistrate the neighboorhoods and downtown and how connected everything is. I now live in L.A. but I look forward for my next visit back there. I hope more people in Pittsburgh and everyone that has lived there gets to see these pictures to appreciate how pretty it can be there. Keep up the great work.

Matt, these pictures are fantastic. I’m a Pittsburgher girl and I love being able to take my city with me when I travel. Anytime I leave the city, state, or country for that matter, I simply look up your site and I can feel at home. Thanks a lot!

Moved here with Westinghouse in 1970. Fantastic photos!!! We do get back to the City a couple times a year. What magnificant changes to the “Old Steel City”. My daughter sent these to me and I’ll be forwarding this to all my family and Pittsburgh buddies!!! Best of luck to you.

I want to move back.

Some of the sweeest shots I’ve seen of the Burg.
Where can I get one of those YUNZ stickers?

There’s no place like home. Growing up in da ‘Burgh makes one privi to a very exclusive club. Sorry folks, but unless you’re from Pittsburgh you wouldn’t understand.

I am an Aussie from Sydney Australia……my best friend lives in PGH……I love your beautiful city……….what a wonderful opportunity to share in these pictures and re live some of the best times I have ever had…. thanks for sharing!!……….”Hey K…”it’s snowing” !!!!

Great pictures!! I too am a photographer, and these were some of the best I have seen……….I come to visit your city on occassion—my brother and his family live there. I will stick to Lake Erie………… What kind of camera are you using??? I have been looking for a new one, and am debating between the new Olympus, and a Canon……I would prefer the Olympus. Answer if you have time. Thanks!!!!

AWSOME PICTURES, THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. I MOVED FROM THE COUNTRY NAD IT IS BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE.

this is awsome I reraly wished I still lived there!!!

One of The great Cities of the world, Thank You!

I was a child of the steel collapse. Neighbors moved, they even brought in trucks of government cheese because of the fallout. My family stayed, because my father knew better days would come. I see these photos and they bring tears to my eyes because I am reminded how beautiful the human spirit is and how Pittsburgh is the testament of a true city with a sense of citizenship that will ever die… I want to go HOME!

Nice stuff!

Your pictures are amazing!!! I’m a native Pittsburgh ‘transplant’ now living in the South…I miss it soo much!! Your photos made me so homesick! I think I’m going to plan a vacation home now…

Keep up the great work!

We are from North Carolina but my son graduated from Pitt. We got to visit often and fell in love with the city. Only thing better than the pictures are the warm and friendly people who live there.

Forty years ago a radio personality named Jack Bogut did the morning show on KDKA radio. I believe he coined the phrase ” Pittsburgh - Someplace Special.” It certainly was then and even more so today as evidenced by these outstanding photos of the Steel City. Although I’ve been gone for many years, Pittsburgh will always be home to me & it truly is Someplace Special.

Wow what Beautiful Photos of My Favorite City in the World. How true the old saying ” Theres no place like home!!! ” I am a native Pittsburgher since 1944 but now live in Indiana. Anytime I get to see Photos or storys of my old Home Town I am Happy. Go Bucs & Steelers. Dan Gardner ( Formerly From Bloomfield )

I was born and raised in Butler, PA and have been to Pittsburgh many times. What a transformation this city has gone through since my childhood! BEAUTIFUL…..Great job on the pics Matt, you have a great eye!!

All I can say is WOW….I’m from NJ, only been to Pittsburgh twice, once in a snow storm and the other with my daughter last year for a school trip on a bus with 50 very loud teenagers. Didn’t get the pleasure of seeing the city. These photos are spectacular. Never knew what a beautiful city it is.

I never knew this city looked that good!

Awesome job! Will send this website to all my out-of-town friends! Have lived in the “Burgh all my life and LOVE it! Want to show everyone what they are missing! Thank you!!

These are absolutely beautiful pictures of Pittsburgh! When I left the Pittsburgh area in l954, it sure didn’t look like these pictures! The steel mills were in full production, and coal barges were in a steady stream on the Rivers. After the decline of t he steel industry, Pittsburgh looked like a giant junk yard filled with rusted scrap metals. Now, it is a BEAUTIFUL modern city that rose from the scrap pile! How proud you Pittsburgers must be! I hope I get back there again to see the city from my favorite place, the LaMont Restaurant! Thank you!

I’ve been to Pittsburgh just one time. A friend and I took a bus trip from our home town and we had a blast! People
were friendly and we made lots of friends. I loved it while there visiting, but would not want to live there. I loved returning
back home to be able to breath clean fresh mountain air! These pictures were fantastic! Loved the ones with the fireworks! Those views were certainly breathtaking. Thanks for the free trip through Pittsburgh!

There is nothing like the ‘BURGH’. I reside Tucson AZ. but my heart is with all ‘yunz guys’. Go Steelers.

These pictures were spectacular. I went to grad school in Pitts, plus I taught in Pitts. You brought back many memories to me. Thank you for these fantastic shots of a beautiful city.

A friend sent these pictures to me , for I lived in Pittsbugh for over 20 years before locating to Ohio. There is still noting like the site of Pittsburgh at night and the Mighty Steelers. Good luck in 2007.

Wow !! Just beautiful shots of Pittsburgh. My friends in other City/States . . will enjoy seeing our city. I’ve lived here in Pittsburgh for 40 years . . these shots are fantastic . . .thanks for sharing.

Matt-youi have an amazing skill! Your photos are spectacular! My daughter, son-in-law and Grandaughter live on the south side and with their help my wife and I have come to know and reinforce the beauty Pittsburgh has to offer.Thank you for such an outstanding tour from your many vantage points!
