Once again an excellent job. I’m going home next week and moving back in two months, and these photos really make me excited. Thank you for doing what you’re doing and keep up the good work.

Wow… Awesome photos! I check the site every day for updates and just found these. I am also from Wash PA and now live in Washington DC. Thanks for bringing home to me!

You have such a great eye for photography. I miss the burgh very much, its really nice to see your pictures. It makes you feel like you are walking in the strip, driving accross the bridges, sittin on Mt. Washington, and drivin the boat on the Mon. I live in West Palm Beach Florida where its to hot and dealing with the cone of uncertainty!! The only nice thing here are Steelers Bars and Primantis down in Ft. Lauderdale (30 minutes away). Can you travel to 7 Springs next winter and post some of those photos? Just an idea!! Just like Chuck said “Thanks for brining home to me!”
Thanks again

Once again, a gorgeous gallery capturing the beauty of one of America’s greatest cities! I visit this site frequently and would like to know if your photos are for purchase. i know many people who would love these as gifts, and you truly have a gift for exposing Pittsburgh’s dramatic beauty. I am moving home soon and whenever I am homesick I check this site. It’s like food for soul. Thanks! Pittsburgh’s greatest export is it’s people.

Brilliant Photos…..They really tug the heartstrings of a 27 year displaced ‘burg boy.

I saw your photos on skyscraperpage.com. I send them out to every Yinzer I know (in town and out of town), and they all appreciate them. I moved back to da Burgh and I am so happy! No place in the country comes close to this town with character, unique personality, and great neighborhoods like this town. You really know how to show it. Keep it up. Also, your photos of other towns are great also. Visit Denver one day, and phootgraph it. I love that town.

You truly have a talent for capturing incredible photos of an incredible city. Please keep it up…

Your pictures are great! Do you plan to publish them in book form? If so, I’d buy the book. The color and the sharpness are superb!

WOW!! I love your photos!! I haven’t lived back home is 13 years and I miss it terribily sometimes! I live in Arkansas, and there is nothing like Pittsburgh out here!

Thanks for making home come alive! I have lived in Fort Myers, Florida for 6 years now and try to get back home twice a year, but looking at these pictures makes me feel like I never left. I show these to people in my office and they are amazed how beautiful Pittsburgh is………..and I just smile proudly and say yes it is!!

I love the May pictures, they are really beautiful as well as refreshing. I did not realize that Pittsburgh has so many
beautiful sites. Keep up the good work, I enjoy them emmensely.

You do a great job. All your pictures reflect the best of the da burg. I will be visiting Pittsburgh the week of July 4th from Charlotte, NC and your photos make me want to go today. Have you given any thought to doing detailed photo spreads of the surrounding areas (e.g. Mt Lebo, Squirrel Hill, Shady Side, Southside, an nat)?

Your picture are truly amazing! I live in Wisconsin now but I sure do miss Pittsburgh. Great job and keep up the good work!!

These photos are gorgeous!

Superb job! What beautiful pictures of a beautiful city! Can’t wait to get back there in 2 weeks for my 45th High School Reunion! You can take the girl out of Pittsburgh but you can’t take Pittsburgh out of the girl.

Once again you have shown the great view of the wonderful city of pittsburgh, i would really advise everyone who doesn’t live here to come and visit. We have great hotels, and such. Hope to see you there!

I miss home, but your photos bring me back to Pittsburgh more often than I can make the drive. Excellent work.

Pittsburgh is second in beauty only to Sydney, Australia. I’m a lifelong Pittsburgher, wouldn’t trade it.

What am amazing eye you have. I greatly enjoyed the pics. I cracked up at the Primanti sandwich – only a true Pittsburgher would know that is as much an icon as any landscape! Thanks.

Thank you i was home sick, this helped.

Awesome pictures. Left Pittsburgh 33 years ago due to work but recently returned. Sure wish I had these photos to look at when I was gone. Great job. Please keep posting them.

You should take pictures of the area around Kennywood and the WaterFront with the steel mills and kennywood….that would be GREAT!

I miss this wonderful city. Its been 20 years since I lived here. What a great reminder of the many exciting memories and good times. Would love to see Mt. Washington and the tram.

I love pittsburgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The people are so friendly… I move to Fort Lauderdale eight years ago and there will never be (NO PLACE LIKE HOME)……AWESOME PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : )

Super photos! Been gone since 63 and kicking back in Tucson since 72. I’ll always be a “Pittsburgher” and you wonderful talent bvrings back many memories. Go Stillers!!

Great except there was no picture of the incline.

We were enamored at the clarity,the uniqueness, and beauty of this entire series
Kudos to the photographer —these are award winning photos and are especially apprectated by those of us who have grown up around the area without appreciating the beauty of our “skyline”

WHO TAKES THE PICS? WHAT KIND OF CAMERA- DIGITAL OR NOT? WHAT OTHER CITIES DID YOU TAKE?
REALLY ENJOYED THESE & WILL CHECK OUT THE OTHER MONTHS PICS BELOW. THANKS FOR SHARING. PITTSBURGH SURE IS PRETTY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHTTIME WITH ALL THE GLASS,LIGHTS,BRIDGES AND WATER!!! MAKES ME WANT TO COME AND VISIT AGAIN. DO YOU HAVE ANY FROM NYC?

Simply . . . .brilliant !!! Makes me homesick

These pictures are of my life. thank you for taking them. I am going to snare them with special people that miss the burgh very much..

Ilove Pittsburgh so much that my architect husband thinks I should work for the Chamber of Commerce and I declare these photos are dynamite and certainly should blow away all the negative impressions of out of towners.

Moved to L.A. in ‘68. Have been back many times to visit family and friends. Now retired and living in Laguna Woods, South Orange County. I miss the smell of the rich soil made by falling leaves, the soft, moist air, the friendly voices all around you, my family.
Great pix! I could cry. I have fond memories of huge family picnics on Saint Anthony’s Day in South Park. The beautiful stone shelters, the huge swimming pool, family softball games. All the ethnic peoples enjoying their favorite foods set upon a groaning table. Grandma’s bouncing babys on their knees and the old men smoking cigars and having a beer, talking Steelers. If these pictures lack anything, it is the wonderful heart of Pittsburgh’s friendly people and their attachment to each other and the church or temple in the neighborhoods. A Pittsburgher must wonder what the immigration fuss is all about. Immigrants are what built this town, we all still speak native languages, eat ethnic foods and share our churchs and temples, but we all bleed Red, White and Blue. This is what makes America great.

Am sending these pictures to all my friends that have moved away from “The Burg.” Now I have proof of braggin’ rights as to what a great place I live near.

I would like to see a series on Forest Hills, Wilkinsburg, Penn Hills , churchhill, & edgewood.

Spectacular! You have created a magnificent collague of a city I have called home for 65 years.

These beautiful pics make me miss the ‘burgh–until my family talks about shoveling the snow! Keep up the great work of making those of us that are gone want to return home. Go Steelers!

Good old Pittsburgh! We do miss you!

These are weird,cool and beautiful pictures. :O

Fantastic pictures, I’m a die-hard burg girl. I miss it so much, your pictures just made my day! You captured the character of the city.

These pictures are so beautiful!!!! I was born in Mt. Oliver. I have been away from Pittsburgh for over 15 yrs. I do visit frequently. I know live in SC. I do miss our beautiful city. Just lovely. You have also made my day with those pictures!! Thank you!!!

Way to go, Matt! You have a talent worthy of “Photographer of the Year.” Many of us who have emigrated from the snow, slush, and proverbial orange PENNDOT cones do, in fact, miss the beauty of summertime Pittsburgh. Your site fills that void during “hurricane season”. We do get back twicw a year to visit family & friends and put posies on graves. We are avid STEELER fans year-round!
Keep those PIX acomin’
Daytona Beach transplants Maureen & Jim

Still a beautiful city!

Thank you for the walk through my old home town which becomes brand new through your camera lens. Proud Pittsburghers know how beautiful, quaint and unique it is and you have allowed us to share this with the world! GREAT job!

Nice pics as usual, I’m a Pitt student and would love to see some more of the night life, Pittsburgh undoubtedly lights up at night! Keep up the amazing work!

Beautiful work! I am not one to get homesick very often, but this did it.

Makes me home sick. The best skyline anywere.

I moved away from PA when I was 19. Family still brings me back to the area. But those pictures are awesome, and can definitely make you home sick. If you ever do a book, I would buy it also.

Make a book! Great idea! I would buy several! Pittsburgh Magazine would eat your photos up!

Great to get these picture’s, I left there doing the Korean War. It sure brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for printing these.
God Bless.

What Marvelous photos of Pittsburgh. I’ve lived in California since 1961 — lots of lovely things, but none to compare with my old ‘burgh. I’m passing them on to other ‘displaced’ friends.

I love your pics. I have them as screensaver shots on my computer at work. People (in Philly) STILL think Pittsburgh is a smokey, dirty, factory-strewn town from the pre-50s era. They are so ignorant sometimes. They are AMAZED at your shots saying things like “…its probably digitally enhanced..” or something of that tone. Yea, the ‘burgh has its problems like ANY city but it also has its charms! You seem to be able to touch that side. I know it probably wouldn’t be received well but do you think you could take a pic on a day and show the same pic from 10, 20 30 years ago?! THAT would be awesome!! Or maybe some snow shots?! Your shots are very good!

P.S. I like the Philly Skyline shots you did too!

WOW. I’m a Pittsburgh native recently transplanted to Fredericksburg, VA. Your incredible photography made me weep. The University of Pittsburgh was my home for many years and my husband and I spent countless Saturday’s at the Strip. You made my day. Thank you and God Bless!

I was not born in Pittsburgh. But these photos show, quite simply, why I will die in Pittsburgh. Thank you for the images that made me fall in love with this city for the rest of my life.

I am a “Pittsburgher” born and raised! These photos are so beautiful. They show why so many Pittsburgher stay here all their lives!

These photos are absolutely stunning! I’m from the burgh, live in Montana and am moving to Melbourne Australia. I just realized that this city is much like Melbourne minus the hills. Great job and to some degree, makes me homesick for family and friends. Pittsburgh is a lot like Melbourne that way too – great people and friendly. Though Big Sky Country offers open skys and great outdoor adventures, it has NOTHING on the people of “the burgh”. Now, where’s the chipped ham and jumbo? LOL

We must have the same eyes, because I took the same shot of the Clemente. We should go out shooting, I’ve been climbing the bridges (which might be slightly illegal) lately and making abstract images out of the shots.

Great stuff, properly exposed.

Just viewed the site pictures and after leaving the area some 37 years ago, many changes have taken place. However, the basic town remains, good hard working blue collar individuals who have made this a GREAT CITY. I have desire to return but only to visit. There are still friends and family in and around the area…our returns are less and less and the years past. Your pictures make it possible to be “almost home!” Thank You for such good work…

Always look forward to your photos…you do an awsome job in capturing the essence of the burgh….as above, would like to see a spread on Kennywood park. Still call the burgh home, make it up for 2-3 Steeler Games and 3-4 Penguin Games every year….Keep up the great work….

these pic. showed me the parts of Pgh that we don’t see. these pic. showed me that Pgh is more beautiful then i thought.

Wonderful to see such great shots of the city I grew up in and went to college in—I live in Philly now [ 38 yrs]— but i still miss the burgh!!
Would love to see pix of East End, Stanton Heights, the Pgh. zoo, and especially Kennywood Park.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

Fab u lis….. Color is superb! Each picture better than the one before. The hill sure looks different than I remember.

I, too am a Pittsburgher and graduate from Mt. Lebanon High, South Side Hosptial School of Nursing and a former PaANG Flight Nurse. Unfortunately I have ended up in the Albany, NY area and it is NO PGH !!! I have no family left in the area and have lost track of friends from the old days This brought tears to my eyes. I see my nursing school is still standing even if the hospital isn’t. I used to bring my kids to a now lost Mt Lebo friend in order to visit my parents in their nursing homes each spring-they still remain pure PGH fans even now with spouses from Boston and Buffalo!
Someday I hope to come back home.

I left Pgh almost 40 years ago and these pictures make me cry. Would move back tomorrow if I could. No wonder we’re all such nut cases about the place!

MISS IT MISS IT, MISS IT. BORN IN PGH. WENT TO PITT. LEFT PGH,32 YEARS AGO. BUT I NEVER LEFT IN MIND. IT’S STILL HOME. GREAT SHOTS. DID A PITTSBURGH TRIANGLES TENNIS EXOBITION RIGHT THERE AT THE POINT IN THAT BEAUTIFOL SHOT

I too left 11 years ago July 28th.. I live in Orlando and your pictures are the best ever. Would also like to see Kennywood, Letrobe, Allison Park, North Park – (it hasn’t changed). Wonderful memories of raising my children there. I sure miss it.. Just about any picture you take will be wonderful.. Please do more!

Janette I love the pictures they are awesome!!!! I will let you have bragging rights now! Your right the BURGH IS HOT……Love & Miss You All In Pittsburgh

Loved them all!

You gotta love this city!!!!

My parents took me to Colorado from Pittsburgh before I was a year old. I don’t know why I get homesick when I look at these pictures, but I do. Great city…great pictures!

Great pictures! I moved to Florida from Pittsburgh 6 years ago & miss it so much
I hope to move our family back up there sometime soon. These pictures are truly beautiful
There really is no place like home.

I have always argued that Pittsburgh had prettier sunsets than they have here in Florida. And you just proved me right

PROUD TO BE FROM THE BURGH!

Hi, wonderful pictures. Living in Mexico now and only get back to Pittsburgh once a year. Used to be for a month, but even that time is getting shorter. You certainly did bring back memories.

It is truly a beautiful city, happy to say I have lived here all my life. Thanks for sharing your fantastic photos.

Was there ever doubt, Pittsburgh truly is a beautiful city, and a great place to live. Fantastic photos. Makes me just love the Burgh more. Glad I never left.

Outstanding photographs, I’m a 37 year old Pittsburgh boy in the Army. I haven’t been home in over 6 years. I can’t wait to get back. All of these pictures are pushing me back to the City of Champions, My Home. I live in Hawaii, but my Heart is in my home. Go Steelers!

Your photos were incredible. I myself enjoy photography, and you have a great eye to be able to take something that may not be beautiful to the naked eye and make it something special. After growing up in Oakmont, and attending CCHS, I have since been transplanted and now live in Altoona. Someday I vow that I will be back to the Burgh.(I hope sooner then later) I have traveled to many places, and lived in many others, and there is no city as great as the mighty Pittsburgh. Thanks for the memories, and keep up the great work

I’ve lived here in Pgh all of my life and never realized how beautiful it really is…you have not only shown Pgh’s outer beauty, you have also captured it’s inner beauty…great job!

I was born there and lived there when I was a kid, and have many relatives there that I miss very much. When I see pictures from there it does make me want to go back home and visit more. The pictures are very nice and bring memorys back as a kid when I lived there. Hey any pictures from Castleshannon? Thanks again|

Born and raised in the Pgh. area and left for husband’s job w/government in D.C 30 years ago. But I go back “home” to visit family every chance I get and will ALWAYS consider Pittsburgh HOME. I loooove this beautiful city. And everything about it. It’s hard to explain to people who think I’m nuts when I brag about it so much. They just dont know any better. But we natives know, dont we????

I grew up in the area of Beaver Falls. I remember going to Pittsburgh to visit and shop. I really has changed since I was growing up. And this is a good thing

I have been gone 15 yearsand you brought me right back such great shots.I grew up in the South Hills McMurray I went back 3 years ago . I live in Seattle Wa now but I love the pictures. Do you have a book I would love to buy it!!!!!!!

These are truly stunning! I just left the burgh this week to go back to school in Missouri, and it is so hard to explain to friends out here how breathtaking and unique our city is. Now I can just show them these pictures and they will be able to understand a little bit more. The only problem is that school is just beginning and now I’m already homesick!

wow…I truly forgot how beautiful Pittsburgh is….I’m in NJ now, but will be back hopefully this year….but you really made me homesick….

We retired to FL a couple years ago….and these pictures made me homesick for the Burgh. You have done an outstanding job, not only in photography, but also in capturing the essence of this wonderful city.

I have been gone since 76. I was brought up in the East Liberty section of the city. There’s not a day that goes by without thinking of the burgh. Thanks for the memories

Great pictures! Really a treat. I have been away from home since 1957. I still miss Pittsburgh and your pictures bring back all of the old memories. I really enjoy them. Keep it up. Go Steelers!

Wow – I just got back from Pittsburgh from visiting family. My family typically is in the burgh during the winter months (live in Atlanta) and we don’t get to see the people and the city during the summer. It was a real joy to see all the people downtown and all over… Amazing pictures.

Its funny… I was traveling downtown last Friday Afternoon and saw a gentleman taking pictures of the city… I thought it was odd however in retrospect… Maybe it was you! Keep up the good work!

Ahhh…the memories! Really neat pictures.

Fantastic! I am sending these to anyone that ever lived here and left!

Home; always!

Pittsburgh has grown up over the years I have been gone. Still Home though!!

Here we go Steelers, here we go!

I moved to Florida about a year and a half ago… Thanks for reminding me of a beautiful city that I left behind!!! Almost makes me want to move back… ALMOST!!

Pittsburgh is not a perfect City…but it’s sure nicer than most. These pictures are absolutely beautiful! Home Sweet Home.

I’ve been away from Pittsburgh for about 4 years. But now I am back and it is great to be back home. I grew up in the Bellevue/Avalon area and now living in Ross Twp. I’ve missed this beautiful city very, very much. It is really one beautiful city and getting more and more beautiful year after year. Thanks for all the great memories.

Absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work

These pictures are truly beautiful. I have lived here all of my life. I had the opportunity to leave a couple of times and my husband and I chose to stay and raise our two children here. I am convinced now more than ever that we made the right decision !!

Born here, raised here and still here. There may be lots wrong with this city, but I’m a lifer here. I love it! We are on the rise again!

I am in the Air Force and on my way into Iraq and nothing is better then being able to see such wonderful pictures of home when i am so far away. Go Steelers!

Fantastic!!!

It has been a long time since I have been home but these pictures were wonderful reminders of a terrific city to grow up in.

Living now outside of Richmond it’s great to see the city portrayed in Photos. Great place but too many taxes and Dems.

Great pictures of a beautiful city! Left in 1977 for LA and still miss the place!

We lived there forever and fell in love and were married there.
We loved it out but struck out to Ann Arbor, Michigan for adventure and
found it. But we will always love Pittsburgh. There is no place like home
…….there is no place like home…….. Dorthy was right.

Also moved to FL about 2 years ago. So glad my friend sent us these wonderful pictures. We miss it more than ever now! It was like a visit home. Thanks.

What get memories ….. the best place to live……..

Wow, great stuff!! After 18 years in the flatlands of SW Illinois, I still miss the ‘Burgh. St. Louis may think they’re the “River City”, but it’s a pale imitation.
Thanks to my sister-in-law (who lives in the North Hills) forwarded me this link.

Wonderful, but I can’t believe you left out Heinz Hall!!!!

Good Ol Pittsburgh! Thanks for the memories.

Thanks Gerri! How much I miss Civic Arena, Three Rivers Stadium (now Heinz Field), and Point State Park. Living in Philadelphia is NOTHING like Pittsburgh. GO STEELERS!!!

JUST LOVED THESE. HAVING LEFT PGH IN 1970 FOR BALTIMORE & THEN TO CALIFORNIA, I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE CITY LINE & CULTURE. TRY TO VISIT FAMILY AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE & MAKE SURE TO RETURN TO MY FAVORITES, IF THEY ARE STILL THERE. HOW YOU HAVE CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF A WONDERFUL CITY. SOME OF MY FAVORITE HAUNTS… BUT WHERE IS KENNYWOOD?
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR A STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE. ALWAYS WILL THINK OF IT AS HOME.

Thanks so much. I have been telling my friends from everywhere but Pittsburgh, how special it really is. You have captured many of the special sights and that describe the feelings that define Pittsburgh for me.

The pictures were awesome and made me homesick. I live in Virginia and bring friend to Pittsburgh when I visit. I was born in Pittsburgh, and married a Marine, so we are in Quantico Virginia for the last 30 years. Thank you so much!

Beautiful – Hill District sure looks different.

I love Pittsburgh. We moved to Manassas VA 31 years ago but as soon as we retire we’re moving back. There’s no people like Pittsburgh People. We get back a couple times a year to see family, the Steelers, training camp. It will be good to have all of that around us all of the time. Your pictures are fantastic! A book would be wonderful. It would definately be in our home!

THese photos of my home town Pittsburgh are GREAT! I moved from PITT 27 years ago to Kansas City, Missouri.
I just made two recent trips to Pittsburgh, so my friends have been sending things like this to me.
As much as I love living in the midwest, “there’s no place like home”, which in my case is Pittsburgh.
Can’t compliment you enough on your talent for capturing that city so well. Pittsburgh is great, isn’t it? So much character!

Awesome shots! Living in Ohio now, and sure do miss the beauty!!!! Go Steelers!!!!

I really enjoyed these photos. Haven’t lived in the burg for 46 years but still love that place. Go STEELERS

These picture are just great to look at. I think Pittsburgh is a great city and these really show it off. My wife and I go to Pittsburgh to the Strip District just about every Sat. Morning. We hit just about everyone of the places that are pictured at the Strip. DeLuca’s (where you get the best breakfast in town) is a must. Thank you to whoever took these and then put them out there for us to enjoy. Oh, and of course as stated in other comments, “GO STEELERS”..!!

Great pictures Pgh will always be home
Georgia

Driving into Pittsburgh through the Fort Pitt Tunnel with a bus! Always good for the ooooo’s and aaaaah’s from the passengers! No other city like it! No matter which way you enter . . . great views! I always enjoyed hearing what the people behind me would say about OUR skyline! Especially with the fountain at the Point, the Stadiums and the Clipper Fleet below! Where better to enjoy the scenery than Pittsburgh!

THESE PICTURES MADE ME CRY. THEY BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD. I NOW LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES SHOWED ME WHY I STILL TODAY AND WILL ALWAYS BE SO PROUD TO SAY I WAS BORN IN PITTSBURGH. WITH A SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR I WILL CONTINUE TO STAND OUT IN DALLAS COWBOY COUNTRY WITH MY STEELER JERESY AND BLACK AND GOLD REPRESENTING MY HOMETOWN WITH PRIDE. I LOVE YOU STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I go to the Burg every chance I get, these photos make me want to be there right
now. Probably will be there in October 2007.

Looking at all the photos makes me very home sick you do not know how much you miss home untill you are gone once a Pittsburger always a Pittsburgher forever thank you to all that wrote and took pics.

Had to leave Pgh in Dec. of l979…left with the Houston Oilers on a plane. Sad day.
lived in Houston and Dallas, Tx. til late l980’s…moved to Columbus, Ohio to Greenville, SC and let me tell you…I have been around and travelled and there truly
is “NO PLACE LIKE HOME”…it is still where my heart is, where most of my family still lives…it is more beautiful than any city and it’s people are fantastic!! It is the best kept secret in the world… If I had one wish…it would be to return..
Still working on that…relocating again to North Carolina… WE ARE FAMILY !!!!
Keep spreading that Chicken on the Hill ….. Willy… Loved the downtown area..was
a bartender in Market Square a long time ago…. Anybody familiar with Troy Hill?
Take a tour of that HJ Heinz Pickle Factory??

I’ve been living away from the ‘Burgh for 15 years…but it will always be home. Not only is it the first city with a front door, but one of only a few left with a heart. Never met a ‘burgher that everyone didn’t love. It’s the story we all need to tell..that Pittsburgh is not a city covered in smog and filth, an eternal cloud. It’s heart is in steel, and that blue collar is on every one of us. But the smog has cleared, and everyone can now see that it is full of color, hills to match any SF chase scene, and food to beat any New York market. I hope it stays the best kept secret, so we can continue to enjoy and claim it as the city that is still the same one we grew up in. Primanti’s for the holidays!

Pittsburgh was once described as “Hell with the lid off”, but it still looks like heaven to me…

These are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen!
You truly capture the most beautiful parts of the Burgh.
We moved from Beaver Falls nearly four years ago and when I see these pictures, it makes me realize how much I miss the Burgh and my hometown.
Keep up the good work!!!

Left the “Burg in 1984 and still miss the city, customs and people every day!!!!!!!!!!!! Have lived in West Virginia, Ohio (twice) and Nashville, TN and there is no place like Pittsburgh. I visit often but can’t wait to move back and after looking at these photos it may be a lot sooner than my husband thinks!!

WOW!! I just had your site forwarded to me and I am amazed at the beautiful photos–and the walk down memory lane that seeing them gave me. Thanks.

I have just been forwarded your Pittsburgh scenes site, and the pictures are breathtaking. Are you planning on publishing your pictures in any form other than the internet? I would love to have (and give) a book that is a collection of your pictures.

WE’VE MOVED TO FLORIDA IN JANUARY OF 2005. AS YET, WE HAVEN’T MET PEOPLE AS FRIENDLY AND DOWN TO EARTH AS WE HAVE BACK HOME IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. WE MISS YOU ALL MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS!

REV. RALPH AND CAROL VOLPE

I really think I would appreciate the beauty of this city had the damn lowly Pirates not beaten my beloved Phillies two out of three recently. PHOOEY!!!!!

It will always be “home” even after being gone 30 years. These pictures were incredible. Thank you.

Fabulous! My friend forwarded your wonderful photos to me. I can’t wait to send them on to my children who all live out of state. Maybe these photos will make them homesick. I can’t wait to see more.

Love all the photos…have lived here all my life (53 years) so proud to be a PITTSBURGHER!!!!!!

Wow what a beautiful city I’m from. I always knew it and go back to visit at least once a year. This time in the fall. Pittsburgh is one special city with the most wonderful friendly, hard working people on earth. I’m glad to be a Pittsburgher. Even though I live in Los Angeles. I remember water skiing on the river down by Nevill Island and the Point. I don’t water ski in Malibu. Pittsburgh rules

WOW!!! My cuz from the burgh sent my an email with these pictures and I fell in love!!! They are outstanding!!! They need to be made into prints!! I live in the Louisville, KY. area and the burgh skyline puts ours to shame!! I love Louisville but I could fall in love with the BURGH!! THANKS cuz!

I left when I was 11, but have always come back several times a year to see family and the citry or some ball games. It’s still just as gorgeous as ever. Great pics! Thanks for the wallpaper and screen savers!

your pics are amazing..makes me proud to be a pittsburgher!

Atlanta Georgia is where I live, but Pittsburgh is home. Each visit my mind captures the sights that you so creatively caught. There’s no place like home. Thank you for sharing your art.

I come from a genuine Pittsburgh family that lived in and around Pittsburgh since the 1700’s. My anccesters found refuge at Fort Pitt during the long summers of the Indian wars. My grandparents skated on the Monogahela River in the 1890’s. My father was on Mayor Lawrence’s task force to clean up the dirty air in Pittsburgh.I beat on pots and pans to celebrate the end of the WWII at the corner of 5th and Penn. 12 members of my family have graduated from Pitt. I am 70 years old now, and although I moved away many years ago and have lived in many places..these beautiful photos made my eyes tear and I knew, once again, that I am a child of Beautiful Pittsburgh now and forever. The photos are completely evocative of my true home.

I was born on the North Side and kept moving away to other neighborhoods and even to other states and ended up back here again. If you want a good photo, come up to Troy Hill in the early morning and get a photo of the sunrise from the Vogetly cemetary. The sky is so pink its incredible. And every one to two minutes the picture changes. If you walk away from your window just for a minute and return you get a whole new view to look at. Its a wonderful way to start the day. I hope to spend the rest of my life in Pittsburgh. It’s the best place in the world to live. Your photos are inspirational. Thank you.

Have been back in Pittsburgh for 10 years after living in Michigan for 7- just couldn’t stay away! I wanted to raise my kids in a community where the neighbors cared and where strangers smile and say hello to one another. We gave up very good jobs to come home and I don’t regret it for a minute. I used to watch Mister Rogers neighborhood with my kids to get a glance of the Burgh when I was in Michigan-wish I had these pictures then! Great Pictures of the “Most Livable City” in the country ! My sister in Hawaii will love these pics- she wants to retire to Pittsburgh someday! Great shots..loved the Cathedral(we are both Pitt Grads)! Does anyone remember using Town Talk Bread wrappers to get into Pirate games for free?

Just got this web site from a friend in Pittsburgh and loved the pics, was born and raised in the South Hills and it brought back such great memories….now place like home. Now live in Savannah but Pittsburgh will always be in my heart.

I live in Ma. now, but love to see the city as noone else can. Great job.

I grew up in Pgh and left it in 1973. Still go back to see family tho.
These pictures really capture what is so great about my hometown….

Wonder is “Stephanie” is my sister?? She’s right, I still miss Pittsburgh. Thanks for making our hometown look so beautiful and exciting!

Incredible shots. I’ve been gone ten years but seeing these photos make me homesick. Keep up the good work!!!

Here’s what I love about EVERY response posted…..no matter how old we are, where we live now or when we left, we all share the same sense of the ‘burgh. Why can’t we find other cities just like it? We moved away and spread the spirit of the ‘burgh (and the Steelers) everywhere. Has anyone noticed you can find a Pittsburgh bar in every major city in this country? I am proud to say I’m from Western PA and will glady share this website with all my friends so they can see what I’ve been talking about all these years. PLEASE publish your photos in a book!

Those pix are spectacular and made me homesick. I grew up in Washington, PA but lived in Pittsburgh right after college. I left in 1982 and moved to New York, Boston and now New Jersey. As much as I love living here, my heart is in the ‘burgh. I love coming ‘home’ for visit. And there is an instant bond when I recognize a ‘yinzer’ accent no matter where I am in this country. There is a great Steeler bar here in Hoboken. Keep those great shots coming!!

Even though I’m not a native Pittsburgher, from the time I was little my parents took me to the “city” from nearby Lawrence County. These photos made me yearn to visit that city once again. I’m retired and now live in North Carolina which I dearly love, too. I don’t think there are enough adjectives remaining for me to use to describe these awesome photos. Truly gorgeous!!!

Awesome pictures–we now live in Summerfield, FL, but love getting back home (Monroeville area) at least a couple of times a year. I thank my friend, Helen Rakvic, for sending these to us.

Amazing pictures! I was born and raised near Pittsburgh and it will always be home to me. I am now in Alexandria, Virginia just outside of Washington DC. DC is an exciting place to live, but I definitely miss the ‘burgh. These pictures made me a little homesick and I am looking forward to coming back to visit soon. Thanks Dad for sending this link to me! I will be home soon! )

I’ve been gone for 30 years and would go back anytime…Great presentation…Sheila

Pittsburgh est une ville magnifique et comme toute les villes traversées par un fleuve elle montre son âme !
J’ai beaucoup de plaisir d’y venir chaque année , et de la découvrir toujours plus par les yeux de mes petits-enfants qui y vivent !

Pittsburgh is a charming city and will always be.
These photos truly capture the essence of the city.

The photos are beautiful,I used to live in Duquesne and now live in South Jersey between Philly and Atlantic City,the scenery here dosen’t touch the Burgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps. They make beautiful backgrounds

Your photos are amazing! I’m speechless. I have been to all the lower 48 states and have to say that Pittsburgh continues to outshine all the rest. I’m aware that there are other towns and small cities that use the name “Pittsburg”, but I always tell people that MY Pittsburgh is spelled with an “H” and that stands for HOME. I don’t live there now, but will again very soon..It’s too difficult not to feel that “pull” of such an incredible city that contains some of the most incredible people….thank you for your very talented time in giving me something I so desprately needed today….to see home!

Beautiful pictures! I grew up in Mt. Lebanon and left 50 years ago. What a change. Spectacular!
Took me back to my childhood memories and the steel mills, South Park etc.. You certainly have
a good eye! Keep it up.

Beautiful pictures!! Never lived there but have visited many times. Love the people. They make you feel right at home. Miss all my family. Would love to visit real soon!

Consistently Superb Photography!

I have lived and worked inside and outside of Pittsburgh all my life. It is a beautiful city, enven in its worst times. The diversity of people and cultures is wonderful. You have a done a great job capturing the city’s essence. I, too, would like to see you do photos of the people of Pittsburgh. In the end, that’s what really makes the city loveable and livable. Thanks for such great work — I am forwarding these photos to everyone in my address book.

Absolutely awesome pics!! Guess you get tired of hearing this, but I was born here ,as well. Born on South Side & lived & most of my young life on Cushman St. Mt. Washington.. My friends & I rode the incline in all kinds of weather & walked every where we wanted to go. It was safe to do that in the 60’s. I especially loved the pic of the Cathederal of Learning. We used to walk up there & I’d pretend I went to school there. Thank you sooo much for these beautiful memories( I have been there recently to see the new sights,aswell) if only my mother & aunt could see these. Cheers to you!!!

These pictures are outstanding. What a beautiful city we live in. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Great photos! I have moved away but a part of me will always be in the ‘burgh. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite city in the USA. It’s beauty unabound, it’s opportunities are plentiful. I see why it was voted one of the 10 best cities to live in. It comes alive at night ! WOW !

GREAT PHOTOS…absolutely gorgeous!! Shows the beauty in the Burgh that people just can’t forget. Lots of us leave and move other places (I’m in Arizona) but “home” is and always will be Pittsburgh. I don’t think I could ever live with those winters again…but these photos sure make me think maybe I could Great eye for unique angles and shots…made me feel like I was there and brought back many memories of warm summer nights. Looking forward to October when we visit home!

Nice shots for sure, but you should have a picture of a Barbecue Sandwich, no? (you know, chipped ham in ketsup or chilie sauce on a burger bun) It’s the quintessential Pgh sandwich.

My favorite most beautiful city whose residents are just as wonderful.

I loved looking at these…amazing. My husband is from Pittsburgh and loves it there…now I know why! Really enjoyed looking at these awesome photos!

Can I just tell everyone, I am soooooo homesick. I live in South Carolina and really think everyday of coming back to Pitt. I miss everything about Pitt. I am so glad my friend sent me these, becuase I am just showing off all of these pictures to everyone. Go Steelers!!!!!!!!

We lived in New Jersey for 5 years and we were always glad we moved back to the Pgh. area. No place like home. Believe!!

These are the best photos of anything that I have ever seen. Made me homesick until I saw everyone talking about or cheering for the Steelers, while only a hanful of people even MENTIONED the Pirates or Penguins. I just feel sorry for the real Pens’ fans back home that will have to suffer all the bandwagon-jumping these next few years. Typical yinzers. This is possibly the ONLY scenario where someone can be WORSHIPPED after they’ve come within seconds of losing their life through their own stupidity, and take NOTHING from it!!!!

Beautiful pics!! I left Pittsburgh in 1981 and it is still, far and away, my favorite city. After living in Dallas, Chicago and now Columbia, SC, there is no place like the ‘Burgh! Jennifer, where do you live in SC?

I have now lived here 40 years! People put this city down but it is beautiful! Nothing anywhere is like this wonderful city and its wonderful people.

You are an incredibly talented photographer. Ive been to most of these places and you have captured the greatness of the city. Thank you for making my “hometown” pictures a place I will come back to frequently.

We lived in Pittsburgh’s South Side for twelve years and in that time saw each of the areas depicted herein change both subtly as well as dramatically. This collection is a “lifetime keeper”. What a wonderful gift!

Left Pittsburgh when I was 7 years old, but spent my summers there. My Stepfather was in the steel business (Midvale-Hepenstahl) and when you were in the steel business in the ’70’s one of the things you did was leave Pittsburgh. Love and miss the city though and your pictures are fantastic. I’ve been all over the world and there is not another city or people in world with more character than those that hail from the ‘burgh!

I lived here all my life, and there really is so much to offer. It really is a shame we are losing so many young people that want to move away. Maybe our young mayor will bring em’ back. I’m chosing to be a Pittsburgh-er and raising my family here. I wish we had more sunshine, though.

Awesome photos. I live here and I got misty! Thank you for capturing our hometown. Unless you’ve been here, you won’t understand.

I was born in Pittsburgh and moved to California when I was only 3 months old. My mom always told me what a beautiful city Pittsburgh is. I now live with my own family in Soddy Daisy, TN. These pictures are truly outstanding and bring to life what my mom always told me. I would love to go there someday.

Had to stop working 3 times to look at them all again. Truly captures the BURG I know and love.
Left a long time ago and get back twice a year to family, but makes me want to pack it up and go back NOW
Just like everyone else I’m asking – where can we get the book – Christmas is coming!!!!
Speaking of that, winter scenes would be great.

I LEFT PITTSBURGH 10 YEARS AGO AND I LIVE IN VALRICO FL MINUTES FROM TAMPA. IT IS BEAUTIFUL HERE BUT I VISIT PITTSBURGH EVERY YEAR. I STILL GO TO MY DENTIST ON THE SOUTHSIDE. THESE PICTURES MADE ME MELT. I WOULD REALLY LIKE COPIES FOR MY SCRAPBOOK. I LIVED IN PITTSBURGH FOR 40 YEARS AND JUST COULD NOT TAKE THE COLD ANYMORE. YOU MADE ME SMILE TO SEE ALL THESE PICTURES AND MOST OF ALL THE SANDWICH. I LOOK FORWARD TO MY PRIMANI SANDWICH EVERY TIME I AM THERE.KEEP THEM COMING THE PICTURES MAKE ME SMILE. LIKE SOMEONE EARLIER SAID YOU CAN TAKE ME OUT OF PITTSBURGH BUT YOU CAN’T TAKE PITTSBURGH OUT OF ME. GO STEELERS AND GO JEROME BETTIS MY HERO

It took me not living in the ‘burg to truly appreciate where I’m from! Living in Tampa, FL for 12 years, I try to come “home” as much as I can to see friends and EAT (LOVED the Primanti’s picture) but can’t get there as much as I’d like to. I’d LOVE a book of these amazing pictures on my coffee table, give as gifts, etc. can one be purchased on line? I’d also like a “seasons” book or section. Just because I don’t like living in the snow, doesn’t mean I don’t miss the other amazing times of the year (yes, please include the Steeler season too!).

Keep up the amazing work.

Awesome!

What beautiful pics of my home town,thanks for sharing your talent to all
of the country,

Yinz take nice pictures n-at

This sounds so redundant from the above…Left the ‘Burg in 1982, after living there for 28 years. Had to go – we needed jobs. Since then, have lived in Dallas, Philly, Long Island, back to Philly, back to Long Island, Northern VA, Sydney, back to Northern VA, now WV. Still planning one more move – back to the ‘Burg! And all this time still have our Steeler season tickets!
And, wow! the “hill” sure has changed since the days we shouted “Spread some chicken on the hill, Will!”

These are some awesome pictures of the Burgh !!! I live in Wake Forest N.C., and really enjoyed these photo’s. Thanks for sharing.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO START MY WEEK. THANK YOU SISTER PATTY. PITTSBURGH IS A LOT LIKE SAN FRANCISCO…IN FACT I DID A PANEL IN A SF RESTAURANT SHOWING HOW THEY ARE ALIKE. HERE IN FLORIDA IT IS FLAT, FLAT, FLAT. LIKE LIVING ON A PANCAKE. I WAS CURIOUS AND ENDED UP ALL TEARY EYED….SOME WORDS ARE MAGIC…PITTSBURGH…KENNYWOOD…THE KAUFMANN CLOCK…
A PART OF MY HEART WILL ALWAYS BE BACK THERE.

Are any of these prints available for purchase? Love “The ‘Burgh” and would like to have a nice print on my living room wall to remind me of my time spent there and my hope to get back.

Please respond at the email address listed above.

Thanks!

Left PGH when I returned from WWII. Have been back several times and miss it when I leave.Your pics are a welcome refresher when I feel I need PGH “FIX”. Lucky you, you have the Steelers–we in Florida have Hurricanes.

Great pictures. I don’t get back to Pittsburgh often because I live in St. Louis now. These pics really made me homesick. I’m forwarding them on to my brother who lives in Minnesota. He’ll love them.

Ahhhh….so very glad that I live here….makes me smile

GREAT PICTURES…..I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO PITTSBURGH, BUT WOULD LIKE TO VISIT. IT LOOKS AS PRETTY AS WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY.

Wow, beautiful pics! Makes me proud to say I was born in the Pitts!!!

I miss home sooooo much !!! The pictures are wonderful.

These pix are spetacular. I have many, many refugees from the ‘Burgh living around the country & I’m sending them these post haste so they can relive the glory & specialness of our “home”.

In Dallas Texas now…….we miss da burg!!! Great Pictures & thank you for memorializing our wonderful home away from home. Of coarse……….GO STEELERS!!!

These pictures are beautiful and I love living near the burg!!!

Just came back from my virgin tour of the Burgh!!!!! It was more than I ever dreamed of…………..My host and hostess showed us all the best places, but the #1 sight to be seen, the Steelers at Heinz Field. Love ya Joni and Alan

I have lived away from the burgh since 1981 but have been back to visit family. Thanks this brings back alot of great memories! GO STEELERS!!!!!

I enjoyed these pictures so much, it made me homesick for the BURGH!!!!Didn’t really know how much it meant to me. Thank you!!!!!

Absoutley love the pictures!!:-) we moved from the area in ‘77 and seeing the pictures makes me homesick. it is such a pretty city especially @ night. we now live in Ohio and they have none to compare. love the burgh and the Steelers! Keep up the awesome work @ taking the photos they are great!

All of the pictures of Pittsburgh glow with the photographer’s love for his subject. What a stunning testament to this magnificant city.

I LOVE PITTSBURGH – BEEN A PITTSBRUGH GIRL ALL MY LIFE. PEOPLE IN PITTSBURGH ARE:

PLEASANT
PRETTY
PERSONALITY PLUS
ALMOST PERFECT

PLUS – WE HAVE THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS. HOW MUCH BETTER CAN WE GET.

LOVE THE PICTURES – KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK PITTSBURGH!!!!! I’M FORWARDING THESE TO 2 OF MY SONS – ONE IN MINNESOTA – ONE IN LOS ANGELES. THEY BOTH GREW UP IN THE BURG.

Those are some really pretty pictures. Pittsburgh lights up beautiful at night =)

These were fantastic. They really made me homesick!

I moved from Pgh. almost 40 years ago but I still feel like there is no place like home in Pittsburgh, PA! Thanks for a trip down Memory Lane – keep up the great work!

I have not been homes in over 6 years and these pictures brings tears to my eyes. Words can not express how much of a good job you did capturing the essence of this wonderful city.

They made me cry, too! I’m a Pittsburgher living in Cali. Thank you for taking these absolutely lovely photos. Sincerely~

OMG, I’m tearing up viewing these photos!!! They are all Outstanding! My family has been living there
for over 100 years. I’m so glad to have been raised in the Burgh. I’m currently living in Phoenix,
but go back home as often as I can. I have the BEST friends ever there!!!
Thank You!

Stunning! This is why I can never leave the Burgh! Will share with all of my homesick friends across the country.
Thanks, ditto everything that’s been said before. Matt, why don’t you publish? You’d make a million, and I could
be your manager/distributor!

I left the “burgh” in 1988, I still go back every year to visit family, but these pictures make me miss it that much more.
My friend Linda sent me this and it really was enjoyable viewing them. Great photography! It brought back all the memories of taking the PAT bus into town for work. I used to work at the old Jenkins Aracade building, does anyone remember that? Thanks for capturing Pittsburgh’s beauty.

Thank you so very much-can’t wait to share these with friends from all over–and my kids all who were born in the A-K valley….loved the pictures–am anxious to visit next month–been in Atlanta(a pretty city but not the Burgh) 36 years..but once a Pittsburgher, always a Pittsburgher!! Go Stillers, and Pirates, too. Where do we buy your book??

My husband and I are from Pittsburgh and move to Montgomery, AL 2 yrs ago. These pictures bring back fond memories of the “Burg.” We are from the Manchester, walking distance to the North Shore. The pictures make us homesick for the Steelers, the Strip, North Shore evening walks, and my church on the Hill (Hello Macedonia!)

Your pictures are breathtaking!!! Thanks for the memories!

Enjoyed the scenes of i

Moved to Scottsdale, AZ 3 years ago from Pittsburgh which we lived for 26 years. Your pictures are breathtaking and bring back many memories of our lives raising three sons in the North Hills and Sewickley area.
Thanks for sharing we enjoyed every picture. Go Steelers!!!!!

Utterly breathtaking!!! I moved to Chandler AZ, and I miss the steel city each and every day. These pictures sure bring back a lot of memories. I just want to thank everyone involved with publishing these photos. You guys really did an awesome job. They are beautiful pictures of one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Here we go STEELERS!!!!!

We love North Carolina but sure miss our friends, family, food, but most of all the PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!!

What a thrill to see these amazing views of the city that will always be #1 in my heart! Yunz are artists and poets. Thank you so much!

Thanks, I needed that!

Absolutely gorgeous photos. Whoever took them did an awesome job. The City of Pittsburgh is a beautiful place.

Just two words. Absolutely Beautiful!

Thank you for these – I needed a little taste of home.

Pgh is my home of my heart- Even though I return 2 times a year I don’t get to see all these breathtaking views. It also gives me a taste of home while I’m in Tucson, AZ

I left Pittsburgh at age 18 38 years ago and now live in Texas. I get to visit two or three times a year, but not for very long. Those are really good pics….they make me wish I could live there again (except in the winter).

Excellent photos!! I will send them to my friends who have moved all over the country. By the way, the one photo of the Bank of New York Mellon and ?UPMC? — UPMC is actually the USSteel Building.

WOW……WHAT A WAY TO OPEN THE SINUS…..HOME SICK TEARS. PITTSBURGH AND SAN FRANCISCO ARE A LOT ALIKE…
I EVEN DID A PANEL; IN A RESTAURANT IN NORTH BEACH COMPARING THEM. SOUTH FLORIDA IS FLAT, FLAT, FLAT.
SO ARE MANY PERSONALITIES HERE. GOD BLESS YOU PITTSBURGH. I CAN FEEL HISTORY JUST LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES.
WE ARE NICE PEOPLE AREN’T WE? ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL HILLS…..

These pics are truly beautiful and show more of how beautiful Pittsburgh really is. Have seen many big cities in my life but, none compare to Pittsburgh our beautiful city. I live down the Ohio from here but when in Pittsburgh once a month I get to see Pittsburgh from Mt. Washington, WOW WOW I’m glad I have seen her as I remember Pittsburgh when she was smokey, dirty and old looking. Keep up the good work everyone.

I love these photos. I miss Pgh and go back every chance I get. My wife says “You can take the man out of Pgh, but you cant take Pgh out of the man” and naturally she is right! I dont like WPB,FL

Breath-taking!!!! Words can’t describe!! Talented photographer.

Your work gets passed along from former Pgher to former Pgher as well it should. Nice to see those images from someone with Pittsburgh remaining in his heart.

I moved away from Pittsburgh about 14 years ago for opportunities that brought me to the San Francisco Bay Area. I miss a number of people and places in the Pittsburgh Area. These pictures are representative of the beauty of what I will always call my home and the people that I miss that enjoy these views every day…..

I’m still just a kid and I never understood what it meant to love your home. After seeing these gorgeous pictures, I do.

P.S. LET’S GO STEELERS!

Lived and worked in the Burg all my life, retired and moved to Georgia to be close to the Grand Kids, God you don’t realize how much you miss somewhere!!!!

My dad worked for J&L for 33 years. I was raised in St. Clair Village; grduating from Carrick H.S. Years later I bring my children and grandchildrn “home”. They love it, and I am thrlled to see a thriving beautiful city. Last month my lovely wife and I came from Virginia and took the placid sunset cruise ,on the boat, down the three-rivers. What a marvelous peace filled exoerience. My chest was out….my town is gorgeous. I have a rich heritage indeed. Daily I check on my Pirates and beloved Steeler. Ah-h-h, the black and gold. Pittsburgh…thanks for capturing her majesty!!!

How very beautiful – makes me really homesick!!

Your photos make me want to just walk away from everything and move back right now! Great stuff … keep it up!

The soul of Pittsburgh throbs with vibrance in you art. I share the passion and have taken hundreds of photos of Pittsbugh. You have done a magnificient job. Thanks.

P.S. Next time consider a theme on the People of Pittsburgh.

~One can move away from Pittsburgh, but the Pittsburgh ways remain in one’s heart~
We agree with others who suggest compiling these beautiful pictures and more in a book which everyone would be
proud to place on the coffee table!

Wonderful!!

I’m so home sick!!!! Left Pa 29 years ago, not by choice, and still call Pitt home.
Thanks for the pictures, made my morning.

Wish your photos brought good jobs and lowered property taxes. Also you don’t live in Pittsburgh unless the cops you call are Greater Pittsburgh cops. Great photos.

I get to go back to Pgh. each year for the Fitzgerald reunion, but seeing all these photos does make one wish that we could see this beauty in California. Thanks for starting my day off with a great big smile.

These shots are absolutely beautiful. Someone sent them to me and I had to stop in the middle of my busy Monday and stare at them for 15 minutes. There is no better looking city than Pittsburgh. Thank you for the wonderful tour of my hometown.
Loved the picture of Primantis-Jeet jet??

I just now viewed most of the pics. Since I am from Whitaker, PA and graduated from Munhall High School (no longer standing) these phots meant a lot to me. Since I am elderly and am proud to say I sold refreshments at Forbes Field during the 50’s, which of course is all gone, I have a deep feeling for Pittsburgh. Great work and absoulute clarity in the photos. I shall keep them as long as I am alive.

What great pictures! I grew up in Pittsburgh…but now live out on the west coast.
Thanks for taking me back to all the great memories I have of home!

WOW………that was a great trip down memory lane for me. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and left there 46 years ago. As I look at these pictures now, some of the views are the same but many are so much different than what I remember. I need to get back to my roots real soon. Hope Joe Carr sees these pictures also.

As a native Pittsburgher, I lived in Orange County, California for almost nine years. Long before I returned in October, 1972 I had become disenchanted with the “California Life Style”. When people complain about Pittsburgh, they usually have never lived for any lenghth of time any where else. We have our problems, but so do other locals. There is perhaps no other city in the U.S.A. where people leave and most eventually return sometime later in their life.

We never will leave this beautiful city. What great shots of the ‘burgh. Look out NYC!

why would you want to live any where else ?

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh.I left when I was 18. I now live in Florida. Thanks for taking the pictures. I never got to see all those beautiful places. There are alot of beatuiful places here in Florida. But they don’t make you feel like home like your does!

I have been living in the Atlanta, GA area for 20 years,but my heart is still in Pittsburgh. Thanks for the wonderful visual memories.
P.S. Go Steelers!!!

You can take girl out of Pittsburgh but you can’t take Pittsburgh out of this girl! Pictures are great!!Thanks for the memoris!

Phenomenal pictures!!!! Excellent job!

Beautiful. I will always think how great it was to visit Pittsburgh thru you pictures. Will be back in another year. My husband Joseph hope like to locate his friends [ Marty Stanko and Olga Petruska ] who he knew in 1958.

My dad sent me these. I live in Manhattan now and have for several years, so it IS a big deal to look at these and immediately think “wow, how pretty” when I am able to look at the most famous skylines in our country every night or morning.
I’ve always told everyone here that Pittsburgh has become really nice. I am glad I can now show them I am not just biased about where I am originally from.

These are amazing photos of an amazing city; one I’ve always been proud to call my home town. I’m moving back soon, and I can’t wait! A huge thank you to the very talented photographer.

I’ve grown up and so has this wonderful city I call home. The pictures, places and people make it HOME……

THESE PHOTOS ARE A JOY TO MY HEART. I GREW UP IN THE SHERADEN (DO YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES FROM THERE?) AND FOR THE PAST 40 YEARS HAVE LIVED ABOUT 35 EAST OF PITTSBURGH. ALSO, I WORKED DOWNTOWN AT BELL TELEPHONE (GONE FOREVER, SNIFF!) AND EVEN WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET MY PICTURE ON THE FIRST WQED VIDEO ABOUT PITTSBURGH’S WONDERS. JUST YESTERDAY I AND 3 OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WERE DOWNTOWN ON THE “JUST DUCKY TOUR.” WHEN I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL WITH YOUR WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHS ON IT AND IT’S ALMOST AS GOOD AS ANOTHER DAY DOWNTOWN. PITTSBURGH IS (AND FOREVER WILL BE) HOME TO ME. I’VE SAVED YOUR WEBSITE SO I CAN VISIT IT OFTEN AND ALSO FORWARD IT TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY FROM PITTSBURGH WHO LONG AGO MOVED AWAY BUT STILL CARRY A LOVE OF PITTSBURGH IN THEIR HEARTS. YOU ARE A BLESSING.

Your pictures are beautiful, however, left the burgh years ago and wouldn’t return for all the money in the world. Beautiful pics none the less….

I live in Woodstock, Ga now (Atlanta area) and moved away from the Pittsburgh area back in 1984, 23 years ago!! Hempfield Area 1973 and Clarion State College 1977 I was sent this site by a relative and these photos are absolutely gorgeous..I don’t remember anything this beautiful..I guess I need to visit again..but I do like Atlanta, we have a great airport so I can get back to PA, great shopping and still have all four seasons here…but I am proud of my roots!!! thanks for capturing the beauty!

These are some excellent pics! Loved looking at Pgh. once again until I see it again. Miss it very much. Perhaps some day I will move back as I miss the people in the burgh very much. Please keep doing great work and posting them for us to see that don’t live in the burgh any more.

How fitting to see this pics before the Steeler/Browns game tomorrow. Married and moved away 40 years ago and Pittsburgh has never left my heart. My two children, Julie and Joe, are black and gold through and through. Thanks for the memories. Go Steelers!

Been living on Cape Cod for thirty-five years and I’ve always described the Cape as “like living in a picture post card”. I grew up in a Pgh suburb & left in ‘64. Honestly, cannot remember a single beautiful sunset — but, of course, the mills were in full-time operation then. My sister and I will be returning to the burgh to retire and rejoin our sibs who never left. It will be like living in a picture postcard.

Thanks for bringing home to me….i miss pittsburgh a lot….and this girl who lives in philly still is faithful to the Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and Pittsbugh! I’m sharing this with all my ‘burgh friends who live in philly! thanks!

Al and Pat Thomas are looking at these fantastic pictures of home from Calafate, Argentina! We moved from Pgh in ´69to Harrisburg and then in´73 toMaryland but still consider ourselves Pittsburgers. We took the Steeler´s flag and a terrible towel down to the¨end of the earth¨, Terral del Fuego and have a picture to prove it! Our son, Keith and daughtr-in-law, Alejandra did the same in 2005 -and everyone remembers what happend then! My best friend, Jim Fischl,(also a Pittsburger) bought a very large plasma screen TV to watch the Steelers in THIS YEAR´s SUPER BOWL.

I moved to Raleigh, NC two years ago. I really want to move back! There is no place on earth like Pittsburgh and I hope I can eventually come back and retire there. You never learn to appreciate what you had till its gone. Keep waiting for me I will be back someday.

Absolutely fantastic!!!! My oldest grandson jus loved the pictures with PPG Place (“his castle”) in it! Keep up the great work and we’ll keep watching!

My daughter lives in Pennslyvania, Levitown, Morisville. I have been there but now I want to visit Pittsburg. Looks like a great place to visit!

Great views of a gem of a hometown. Thanks for the memories.

Have never been to Pittsburgh but totally enjoyed seeing such a beautiful city!!

moved to Cleveland 35 years ago i never stoped loveing Pgh. great pictures

I’m writing this from London. I’ve been away from the Pittsburgh area for nearly 30 years now, but visit once a year. It’s nearly impossible to keep up with the city’s evolution but your pictures have done the trick. I feel that I’m up to date now.
Warhol Bridge!?….I never knew.
Fabulous work.

I moved to FLA over 20 years ago and it is beautiful, but I grew up in Belle Vernon and not even Florida beaches can touch the beauty of the whole Pittsburgh area. Thank you for reminding me of that fact.

I grew up 25 minutes from Pittsburgh and used to visit very often with friends and family. Many memories have been made there. A few years ago I moved out of PA, and I miss it like crazy. I have been to many major cities and I would have to say Pittsburgh is one of my very favorites. There has never been a time in that city that I have not enjoyed myself. When I come to PA to visit family I try my hardest to go into the burg!! These are great pictures and they helped remind me of how great Pittsburgh is. One day, I will get my new hubby to move back up that way so that we can be close enough to the city for the both of us to enjoy.

Great shots! I am from the ‘Burgh but now live in California working as a designer for a in house design group.
Do you sell stock photos?
Do you have a list of fees?

Thanks, keep up the terrific work.

What a magnificent collection of personal memories. Makes me want to jump on a plane and go, back home.
john garruto

GREAT pictures!!

I use to live in Pittsburg 20 years ago and this was great!!! Thanks

Stunning photos…makes me proud to live in this gorgeous city! It isn’t perfect but there’s no place like home!!

My friends from Pittsburgh send me these occasionally and I love looking at them and remembering what a great place Pittsburgh is. St. Paul, Minnesota is nice….Pittsburgh is unique!

Good old pittsburgh, these pic. are beautiful they bring back lots of memories, the days my mother-in-law and i use to go shopping.

I truly enjoyed your beautiful photos, you do the city a great honor.
One question tho, hows come the fountain at the point is hardly ever running in your photos? Also, since we are HUGE Penguins fans, a few more pictures of “The Igloo” would be nice, too.

Simply great!!

We miss the ‘Burgh so much. Thanks for the beautiful pics. We are in the suburbs of DC now…nothing compares! Why can’t Pittsburgh get the jobs to match the pictures and we’d all be back?!?!

I feel a moment of nostalgia coming on. I’ve been away from “the burgh” for well over 20 years now, but I can smeel the air there when I look at your pictures. Thanks for taking me home.

I just moved back home to the Burgh from Philly.
Its so nice to be back to our roots.
Great pictures!

You make it hard for a Pittsburgh girl to stay in Florida. Gorgeous. I love your work with patterns and colors.

Wonderful, what a contrast to growing up there 70 years ago!

I used to live there and I don’t want to move back. I liked the pictures though.

I was born and raised in “the ‘burgh” and have been living on the Pacific Northwest Coast for 10 yrs. now. A friend from Pgh. just sent me this site via email and the photos really capture the essence, nuance, and grit that is Pittsburgh. I’m sure that I’ll never choose to move back east again, but it wasn’t until I viewed these beautiful pictures that I realized that city will always be inside of me….wherever I go! Thanks for the visual trip!

Thanks for sharing the great pictures of the Burgh. My husband and I are both “native” to Pittsburgh and miss it very much. So many beautiful places and so much culture. Maine just isn’t the same and definately not the same being a Steeler fan living in Patriot country. Born a fan, always a fan. Thanks again…

I laughed…I cried…I drank an Iron City Pounder.

I switched back to Pilsner Urquell.

I used to live in Buena Vista, Pa. most of my life then moved to Mckeesport, Pa. to be closer to my job., Now I have moved to Mississippi, to be closer to my job, it seems as though everytime I change jobs and locations, I keep getting farther away from my roots, my people and my home. Pittsburgh is, an always will be my home. I travel all around the United States and I feel like I am never far from home, when I see all the Pittsburgh Steeler fans out here. In EVERY state fans drive around with Steeler emblems and logo’s on there cars, from the Steel fuel tanks in Salt Lake City, UT.
From the Steel Arch of St. Louis, Mo. from the Steeler Pubs in Ocean City, MD. and Virginia Beach, Va. all around this beautiful land Pittsburgh is represented all over and in many ways, and I am proud to say I am a PITTSBURGHER.

My friend, who lives in Florida emailed these pictures, she is also from Pittsburg, all I can say is this was a really wonderful treat after a hard day. I had such fun in Pittsburg, hangin dan tan and the upstage, dinos, travelers in sliberty, God I miss it. I’ve been gone since 88, and I’m still a Pittsburg girl and a die hard Steeler (stiller) fan. Thank you so much for these great pictures. My heart lives in Pittsburg.

I grew up in the South Hills, but spent lots of time “loafin daantaan”. If you’re from there, you’ll recognize the accent. Moved to the coast of VA in the 70’s. It’s beautiful here, but you never get over leaving those hill! The pictures are fabulous – Pgh. was always beautiful, but now it is magnificent. My cousin, now in beautiful CA, sent me these pictures. No matter how far away we move, the ‘burg will always be home.Go Steelers!

Can’t believe I left the H off Pittsburgh, been gone much too long

Rebecca Goede, Brownsville, Tx. if you are from Pittsburgh why can’t you spell it?

Hmmmmm?

It was a mistake shmoe, people make them sometimes, is there some kind of a problem?

No problem, I just found it strange that someone forgot how to spell it. How long you been gone?

Thanks for bringing ‘da burg’ to Southern California. I miss it so much! Beautiful photos of a beautiful city.

Home never looked better! EXCELLENT photography.

wow, I’ve never been, but if the sky does those amazing colors often I’ma have to go! Luv it!

Evie, it does do that and so much more. I remember early April around 72, the sky was so spectacular that people were pulled over on the side of the road just looking at the sky. It was so beautiful, I will never forget it. Pittsburgh has a heartbeat, it’s always fun, even if you’re not looking for it.
GO.

shcmoe, maybe I can’t spell, but can you read?, Been gone since 88, anyway, I don’t think this about spelling and reading, just enjoy the stuff, k? Where did you grow up? Not being sarcastic, just a question.

Awesome!!!It is the only word to describe the incredible clarity and composition of these photos.I love Pittsburgh and my heart, once again,felt that pride as I viewed the landscape of “my” city.Your forethought and magnificent eye, captured the true essence of “the burgh”.

Born in Swissvale, raised in the North Hills, and after 38 years in California (27 in the San Francisco Bay area) I am tempted by these terrific photos to come home again. But they say you never can.

My best friend from the Air Force lives in Pittsburg and sent these pictures to me.
I was born in London, have lived in four countries, and four US states and Washington DC. I am well traveled but, alas, have never been to Pittsburg.
I have heard that it is very beautiful, have seen other pictures and now these.
Having said all that, I really need to visit. The pictures are breath-taking, very beautiful, thank you.

They say you can never go home. I guess “they” are not from Pittsburgh, because any true “burgher” will tell you.. no matter where you are or how long you have been gone you “the burgh” stays in your soul forever. Thank-you for these wonderful shots of our pride!

LEFT PITTSBURGH 10 YEARS STILL CALL IT HOME GREAT PICTURES NO OTHER CITY LIE IT
(GO STEELERS)

I’ve lived in the Chicago area for many years, but there is truly no place like home, and Pittsburgh will always be my home. Simple photos showing the slope of the streets, the narrow frame houses with so many trees. . . could only be the Pittsburgh I know and love.

I moved to Boulder, Colorado last month to attend grad school. Everyone told me how much I would love it here, how people from Western PA come here and never go back…well, Boulder’s alright and all, I don’t really have anything against it, but man, what I wouldn’t give to be back in Pittsburgh. There really is no other city like it. It’s a special place and you have certainly captured that. Thanks for the photos.

I am from Pittsburgh, but am stationed in Louisiana with the US Army, these pictures are awesome, but can also be chalked up to cruel and unusual punishment for some one missing their hometown so much!! But please keep them coming, sanity comes in handy down here.

Awesome pictures–Right now existing in Apopka, Florida, but my heart is in the burg! Have my Steeler Flag flying over my garage and my Myron Cope terrible towel hung on the office wall. We have Froggers here in Orlando and the owner (George Hakim) is from Pittsburgh, we watch the Steelers every Sunday and have an icy light. Pittsburgh will always be my home. When I saw that picture of the Cheese Steak my mouth started to water. Thanks for the great photos.

Loved the pics! I have been gone since 1985 but my heart still lives in the “burgh.” Seeing these beautiful pictures brings back many wonderful memories and a smile to my face. Although I’ve been living in the south for more than 22 yrs. I’m proud to say people can still pick up on my “Pittsburgher” accent mixed with the “acquired” southern drawl. Go Steelers!!!!!

What beautiful memories of a quant town. Living in Florida is not the same as the Burgh, however we do have a great Steeler bar in Tampa. Go Steelers

Great pictures, quite amazing all the lights at night, hope to visit someday”

I live in beautiful Scottsdale Arizona. The weather is perfect all the time! Even when it storms it is awesome. No snow, unless you want to take a 2 hour roadtrip to ski, or sled, etc. And the point of all this? I love the weather here but miss the quality of the people back there!!!!!!!

Love my city. Love the photos. Keep’em coming when the snow starts to fall. Glad to see all the loyal Pittsburgh people from afar checking in. Keep it up, and come back often! Go Steelers and LET’S GO PENS!

Thank you so much for these wonderful photographs! I moved 2 years ago to Chicago and it brings tears to my eyes to see all the places I love-they’re awesome!

The e-mail showing your pictures were, by far, the best e-mail I have ever received. Thank God for people like you! I loved every one of your photos. I am proud to say I have lived in Pittsburgh for 65 years. Keep up the good work.

Pictures are beautiful. Brings back lots of memories. I can remember coming home when I lived in DC and the steel mills were closing or closed and I didn’t see any smoke coming from J&L and remember crying on the Greyhound bus as we made our way into town. That’s when it really hit me that my hometown was suffering. Pittsburgh has certainly changed and more change needs to happen, but there is truly NO PLACE LIKE HOME. I love this city.

I live in Pittsburgh. When traveling to and touring other cities and seeing their skylines and their interesting places to visit, eat, shop, I always think how beautiful they are. Your photos remind me that Pittsburgh is a beautiful place and as interesting (maybe more so) than any other place in the world!
Thank you for the wonderful reminder!

Just LOVED these pictures of home! Many of them are reminiscent of some that my brother (a photographer himself in D.C.) shot of my son in August 2006. It was a beautiful evening with the setting sun shining off the buildings Downtown as my son posed on the Grandview Avenue overlooks. It was for his senior pictures and he received many compliments about having the City in the background. What a wonderful and unique way to remember his senior year — with our wonderful and unique Pittsburgh behind him.

Wonderful pics. I go back to visit Pgh. often, but will send these off to my many friends to sdhow them why I go back to visit. Thank you.

I’ve seen better

I just moved to the Washington DC area from Pittsburgh a little over a month ago. The homesickness is just settling in and then my mom sends me a link to this website with beautiful pictures of home. Thanks a lot mom! Also, I have a degree in Photography and these pictures are awesome! Keep it up!

Wow, How it has changed over the years, I remember when it was dirty with smoke from the factories. I’ve been gone since 1980 and it’s great to the change. Wonderful pictures. I’ll get back there one day to visit, I still have a brother there and some GREAT friends that sent me this site. Thanks all !!! GO STEELERS !!! , from Corpus Christi, Texas

I’ve been away at college for two years now and just got tears in my eyes looking at my beautiful city. Thank you so much for these pictures! I miss da burgh!

Stunningly beautiful. I grew up northeast of Pittsburgh and now live in Northeast Ohio (Browns territory!). These picture brought tears to my eyes. Especially seeing the Civic Arena and knowing it is coming down. I have good memories of going there as a kid to see the Ice Capades, Godspell and concerts. I love Pittsburgh and would love to move back home. Maybe someday.

Have always loved this city, plan to retire here someday!

Boy do these pictures make me homesick! I’ve lived in DFW now for 4 years but Pittsburgh will always be home to me. Thanks for bringing me some smiles with your gorgeous photos of the Steel City.

FALL IS APPROACHING AND VIEWING PGH PHOTOS BRINGS ME BACK TO HOMETOWN SWISSVALE UPBRINGING. I SIGH WITH CONTENTMENT WITH MEMORIES OF OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY. PGH IS STRONG IN OUR HEARTS THANK YOU

I lived in Pittsburgh from 18 til I was 36. I LOVED it there and still want to move back but the job has kept me away. These pictures remind me how much I miss it.

I’ve been out west for about 7 years now, and these photos remind me of just how beautiful Pittsburgh really can be.

I was born and raised in Monongahela and left the summer after high school graduation to join the USAF. Since then I have lived in a lot of places, but never again in the Pittsburg area. I will be 70 on my next birthday and I have always felt that if I returned to the Burg, I would be welcomed with open arms. These photos show that there is not another place like it on the planet.

The first word that comes to mind is: “Awesome”!!!!!!!!!! I love living here and seeing the beauty of Pittsburgh. Many memories pop up as I look at the different scenes. Thank you sooooooooo much for such a fantastic job!!!!!!!!!
I Thank God for the gift of sight, to be able to view each of these photos. I also Thank God for people like you who are gifted enough to make people like me appreciate these photos!

I can never explain to others (you know those not from the burgh) how truely beautiful our city is and how proud I am of it. We are a special and unique group of dwellers here. I can still remembr the smell of the mills ( rotten hard cooked eggs ) and how wonderful the sunsets were when they were operating. I will be sending these awesome pictures to my daughter who is stationed in Iraq. Thank you

As a photographer and a former Pittsburgher, I can only enjoy seeing this city through your eyes. Bravo!

There’s no place like Pittsburgh. And that’s a good thing.

Looking of the pictures of the burg, makes me want to red up the house, talk to yens guys and have a Jumbo sandwich. Left in 1959, living in Jacksonville, Fl. Go Steelers.

My memories are from the 1950s. I was born and raised in Wilkinsburg, departed from PittsburgH for the Navy Seabees in 1956, traveled the Pacific, mostly Vietnam(4 tours), and retired here in Jacksonville, Florida in 1977. I had asnother career as a Construction Project Manager with many projects throughout Florida. and then a final retirement in 2001. During these years I have often visited Pittsburgh and Wilkinsburg to remember the old days with love in my heart and the best of memories. As I looked at these photos, I have a hard time remembering those areas and sites, far too many changes since 1956! I also often think about my growing up days back in Pittsburg. I only have one sister remaining of my family which she now resides in Butler, PA. I most likely will never relocate back Hto Pittsburgh but I will never forget the vivid, loving memories of this city that I call “MY HOME TOWN”.

These are great! Live in E.Liverpool and just did a all day at Pittsburg yesterday! Beautiful day at the Science Center and got to see all the Pitt fans going in to the Steeler Stadium for a unfortunate loss, but beautiful day for football. My son takes beautiful pictures who was with us and hope he can add some of the incline that some of you have missed. We sat at a restaurant at Station Square and sat outside and enjoyed the boats and all the lights of Pittsburg. As a child of the 50’s and 60’s it was always awesome coming through the tunnels to the world of Pittsburg (Still is!!). It was like arriving at Oz….Looking forward to going back next month for fall events at the Science center and Fall foilage boat ride. Love visiting Pittsburg…

Thanks for the pictures…how about some of KennyWood Park too…they have fixed it up so nice now. Was getting run down, but like always pride of Pittsburg they fixed it up!!

I left Pittsburgh after graduating from Pitt in June of 1953. I have no family left in Pittsburgh so I don’t get back as much as I used to. The photos are great and bring back memories of the good times I spent there in school from first grade on. I truly miss Pittsburgh. It is a great place to have lived. There are quite a few of us transplanted retired “Burghers” here in Midland and we get together often and talk about the good times we spent there. At one time there were four of us Petroleum Engineering classmates living here in Midland, where the Steelers have a real following. I am quite surprised to see that these photos and the comments generated by them are updated. I spent some time to see if I recognised any of the “authors”, but didn’t have much luck.

I lived in the ‘Burgh for many years, still have family there, but moved to South Carolina 10 years ago. The pictures are beautiful, made me homesick, and miss it very much. GO STEELERS!

Absolutely Gorgeous; Moved south 3 1/2 years ago, these certainly bring back good memories. We especially miss the evening lights.

My wife and I have been away since 1959, still root for The Steelers. Most of our friends from Pittsburgh, are scattered around the country. Met seven of them at our High school 50 yr. reunion. Now we meet once a year to celebrate and remember all the good times growing up in Pittsburgh, our home town. The photos are fantastic, they tug at the heart strings.

Born on North Side raised in Bellevue. Moved to California in 1960 and missed the Series but watched every minute of it. No city has more sports enthusiasm than Pittsburghers. Have been back 3 times since I moved and every time the city has improved so much but still retains the same neighborly feeling. Everyone is your friend. I do miss Westview Park and Bubbles & Sherman restaurant in the Hill District. Have never tasted better corned beef sandwiches. I still say “younz” and “redd up the house”, “gumbands” “jumbo baloney” or “worsh my hands”. Can’t seem to shake these great words that brand me from Pittsburgh.

WONDERFUL PICTURES AND MEMORIES OF A PROUD CITY SURPASSED ONLY BY THE WARM WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE.I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COME BACK FOR A VISIT.WE HAVE LIVED IN CLEVELAND OHIO,I ALSO LOVE HER AND NOW IN ST PETE BEACH FLA. BUT THE PEOPLE IN PITTSBURGH ARE THE BEST.THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

Brought tears to my eyes. Transferred to Texas in 1982. Texas may by bigger but can not hold a candle to the beauty
and character of Pittsburgh. The architecture is breathtaking, the people are genuine, and the ethnic cuisine is exquisite.

Loved the photos…….. used to live in Pittsburgh , Whitehall . I would like to know what kind of camera was used…Great pics to whomever took the photographs.
Brought back many memories…. left Pittsburgh with my parents when I was sixteen…… Love those Steelers..

These photo’s are really beautiful! I have lived away from the burgh for 22 years and at times miss the city and people immensly and at times long to go back. Viewing these pic’s helps bring the city to me!

A 100% better than the usual garbage I receive on the Internet. Thanks. Marv

These pictures were wonderful! My husband and son will finally get to see some of the many wonderful views of Pittsburgh that I grew up with!

There’s alot of people who don’t realize just how beautiful our city really is and these are some great pictures for all of us to share some pride for our town !!! Pittsburgh will always be my #1 city !!! I would have liked to see a shot of Heinz Feild from the river !!!

These pictures are FANTASTIC! I have been living in Virginia since 2003,, teaching. There are just no teaching jobs in PA and it breaks my heart. I was born and raised in the city, and a proud daughter of a city firefighter. These pictures make me want to pack up my things and move on home! Proud to be a burg girl and always will be!!!

These are wonderful. I enjoyed them so much. They make you realize how wonderful Pittsburgh truly is.

Beautiful pictures of home!!

Truly Amazing!!! I love to view your work. You have a remarkable skill for catching the very essence of the moment. You always bring out the real beauty of the city. Thank you for sharing your gift! Many people greatly appreciate it! I know I do.

We had a young visitor from Germany last Fall and were looking for some great photos to send back with him. Frankly, all we were able to find were the same views of the point from you know where. I wish we had seen these. I am going to forward them to him and anyone else I know who might appreciate what a truly beautiful job you’ve done with our city.

These photos remind me again what a wonderful city we live in. I am proud to be a Pittsburgher.

What can I say! Just gorgeous photographs and makes me more homesick. After being in the army for 15 years I try to take a little bit of Pittsburgh with me wherever I GO. Afghanistan, Arizona and back again. There is no people on earth like Pittsburghers and no place on earth like Pittsburgh. The only place I truly call”HOME.”

Wow! What a beautiful pictures. What kind of camera do you have and it is gorgeous pictures. Thanks

The pictures are absolutely beautiful! True die-hard Steeler fan.

Loved the beautiful scenes of our great city!!!
Congratulations!

Lived in south FL for 10 years and when the kids were born, moved back home to the Pittsburgh area so they could be raised with family, get an education, and gain a work ethic. Now, after having graduated from CMU, my daughter is an engineer for USS at Edgar Thompson Plant, my son is remodeling old buildings in the Southside, and I’m viewing your gorgeous pictures while back on the FL beaches. Funny how life turns out. Go Steelers!!

My body left Pittsburgh in ‘56, but my heart remained. Will always love the town in which I was born and raised. Used the Monogahela Incline almost daily after which I walked across the Smithfield Street Bridge. What wonderful memories you bring to many through your marvelous “shots”, including this old timer who will always be a Pittsburgher ’til the day she dies! Thanks so much for the memories.

I left almost 50 years ago. Magnificent photos! But I feel cold fear whenever I visit due to the racially motivated murder of my stepdad in 1970. Could never live there again.

my whole family is from pgh…but most of us live somewhere else now…i live in texas and when i showed these pics to my husband, he said he wanted to see where my family came from..his memory of pgh is of the old days..smoggy and dingy…but not anymore..thank you for setting up such a wonderful site!!

I left Pittsburgh in June of 1967. I still miss her to this very day. I look at the collection of photographs and feel as if I have come home. Comfort food for the eyes and soul.

As a radio amateur (ham) I often had contacts with ham’s in USA and also in Pittsburgh. Now I know how Pittsburgh looks like. It’s very special indeed!
Joe PA0SOM (BELGIUM)

Absolutely fabulous! I currently live in Southern California & miss Pittsburg & the people. Thank you for the fantastic images. They brought tears to my eyes!

What a joy to see how clean and great the Burgh is. These pictures make me proud to be a Pittsburgher from way back. I’ve been gone since 1958 but there’s always a place in my heart full of memories from live on the North Side.

i miss my pittsburgh so much and this just reminded me of how great it really is..

I lived in Pittsburgh for 12 years, coming from San Diego, and now I’m in Oklahoma. Seeing these pictures sure made me wish I was still in Pittsburgh. I do miss it there with all of its flavor, color, scenery and diverse population. Thanks for the wonderful eye of seeing Pittsburgh in a wonderful way.

Truly enjoyed–graduated from Taylot Allderdice many years ago. Spent 17 years in Maine near the beautiful coast and now reside in Ohio. Pittsbugh brings and has many fond memories. Gustines! Old Forber Field! The Inclines! The Fox Cafe in Shady Side! The Hollywood Social Club. Twas a great start on life and it still has great memories. keep up the good photo work. CWR

Thank you so much for giving me a piece of home, down South. You have captured our city so beautifully!
Thank you!

Wow, seeing these pictures made me get home sick. I love that city, but I love this beach down south too much to move back. A great place to be able to visit. Thanks for the absolutely wonderful photo’s of good ol’ Pittsburgh. GO STEELERS!!!

Dont stop, they are beautiful, each and every time I get more and more Homesick,

Great photos. Appreciate how the city has turned around. Was born & raised on the South Side. Am now 80 years young and can vividly remember the “Smokey City”. What a transformation! My heart still remains even thou I have been away for 30 years. GO STEELERS!

I have seen Pittsburgh growing up 81 years ago, I have seen the steel mills and breathed the smoke,days of nightime
darkness.
I have the the great miracle of transformation to a city of Paradise. There is not other city that can compare.

Fantastic photos! It has been 10 years since I lived in the area. The city never looked better. Go Steelers.

My husband and I are huge Pirates fans. I love all of your pictures of PNC park. They are beautiful memories when its 30 below in the middle of winter.

These photos are fantastic! Now I know why I moved back here and all the buildings remind me of all the corporations this city had. I hope that those days come back some day. Thanks for the fantastic review of the memories of living in Pittsburgh.

You have a great eye for seeing the unusual shot of the Burgh. I just loved everyone of them. The angles are all so different and really bring out what Pittsburgh is all about.

HOME SWEET HOME

I just want to say that these pictures are amazing…..I grew up in the Burgh and right now looking at thes pictures I am so homesick…..Thank you for allowing us to see how beautiful home really is.

I lived here all my life.Still seeing these pictures puts me in ahh.

These picture are awsome, and mae us homesick for the Steelers, friends, and the beautiful city. We love them.

These pictures are awsome, and we miss our friends, the Steelers, and this beautiful city

Pittsburgh never leaves your heart!!!! The photos are breathtaking. I have lived in Houston for almost 25 years and STILL believe the beauty of Pittsburgh ranks #1!!!!

You can take the girl out of Pittsburgh, but you can never take the Pittsburgh out of the girl!!!! Love it always!!! Great Pictures!!

I’ve lived here all my life and the pictures just show why we never want to leave our hometown. This town is breath taking and totally awsome.

I was born in Pittsburgh 61 years ago and even though I have moved away in the 70’s, I still call Pittsburgh my “hometown” and always will. I will be buried back home in Pittsburgh when it is my time. I moved away in the 70’s but still root for the Steeler’s and always will. I think it is the most beautiful and breath taking potographic city I have ever seen and will compare it with any other big cities in the United States. I get a little home sick when I see these beautiful pictures that you have shown here. Thank you for doing this and keep up the good work.

a wonderful way for me to get a great picture of where my boyfriend lives. what a beautiful special place. thank you for sharing your wonerful pictures.

I wish my girlfriend would come to Pittsburgh and see Pittsburgh and me for Real. That would be awesome !!!!!

I have lived in Pgh until 5 years ago, when I moved to ZA. The pictures are great and I will keep them as a reminder of what a great city I grew up in. Thanks to a friend who sent them

WOW you brightened my day. My husband and I have been in Colorado for over 20 years, but Pittsburgh is still home.
Go Steelers. My grandfather and father were both professional photographers in Charleroi and my mother grew up in Squirrl Hill. The photos are fablous. Dorothy was right “there no place like home”……keep up the good work from one Pittsburgher to another…..

These pictures brought back many happy memories. I moved to Tucson, AZ 31 years ago and while I love Tucson, I still have a very warm spot in my heart for Pittsburgh. It has the greatest people in the world (including my family and great friends). I don’t get backas often as I’d like but I sure enjoy the good times when I’m there. Thanks for makiing my day.

I Have not lived in The Burgh since 1980. I go back to visit every now and then. Thank you for your amazing eye for Photography and for taking me back to many of the wonderful places that I remember from my younger years.
Go Steelers!!

I lived here all my life. Each time I see pictures from our skyline it take my breath away. Many thanks to those who photograph our beautiful city.

My Hometown is displayed beautifully! Pittsburgh is enriched with SO much culture. The well-rounded nature of the city has given me a great foundation for life’s journey. Go Steelers!!!!!

ENJOYED THE PICTURES, MANY YEARS AGO I WORKED IN PITTSBURGH, LIVED IN BUTLER. GREAT PICTURES BRINGS BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES

I am a life long Pgh. suburb resident, and I never tire of looking at these pictures, well done. Keep up the good work.
THANKS

I RECEIVED THIS SITE FROM MY FAVORITE COUSIN AND THESE PHOTOS REALLY MAKE ME HOMESICK! LIVING IN FLORIDA AND MISS THE BURGH VERY MUCH…ESPECIALLY THE FOOD!

Lived in Pittsburgh all my life born and breed there, there is no place in the world like it. Caring and wonderful people are we Pittsburgher’s.

Wow,

Very cool pictures!!!! I want to congratulate the photographer for his EXCELLENT WORK!!! I was born and raised in the east suburbs of Pittsburgh for the first twenty years of my life and have to say that pittsburgh has gotten more beautiful over the last 24 years than when I lived there…the steel mills were still active, though declining rapidly in 1984 when I moved to Tampa, Florida, it still captivates me of all the really unique scenes, culture and the food that there is all over the city!!! I miss the days of growing up there at a time when you could play all day long as a kid (even though our parents worried about us, as parents did) we never worried about anyone abducting us or anything like todays world…true innocence lost!!!

Wow!!!!! The pictures were awesome. I have been gone for 27 years, but my heart is still in the ‘burgh. I too am a Steelers fan as well as my 2 children. I try to get back at least 2-3 times a year. I have family and many friends there so it makes it even more special to visit. There’s no place like home.
Keep up the great work and thanks for making everyone from Pittsburgh feel so good inside and proud to be from that part of the world.

Thank you!

No one captures the heart and soul of Pittsburgh like you. The old houses sprinkled along the south side slopes; the turn of the century brick homes that adorn Carson street strung together by low hung telephone lines; the “old world” church steeples surrounded by 20th century steel high rises…Its not the over photographed downtown skyline that makes Pittsburgh beautiful…its the wonderful little neighborhoods filled with so much history and character! It is who we were, who we are and who we will always be!

Its not just a city…its a whole other culture…and theres no place home in da’burgh

You really captured the beauty of Pittsburgh. Born & raised in Pittsburgh, left in 75 but have always considered Pittsburgh one of the best cities in the world to live and I’ve lived in many places all over the world but there’s no place like home. I’ll probably go back when I retire! Great Photos!

Putting my house up for sale in January and I am coming home. These pictures were a huge help in my decision.

My first trip to Pittsburgh From Australia was last December, to visit friends and ever since then I have been missing the Town and new friends that I have made so much. The wonderful warmth of the people and the city has left an everlasting impression on my life. When I came home I left part of my heart there and hope to return. Thank you for helping me to relive my memories through your Beautiful photos.

Been away 3 years now. Seems strange but I now live in the Poconos and vacation in Pittsburgh. I sure do miss the Burgh.

Hi
I had changed my mind about going home for Thanksgiving, Thanks for the pictures. I will see you family soon.

Only someone who grew up in Pittsburgh can consider themselves a “true Pittsburgher”. The memories of streetcars, ice skating in Duquesne Gardens, sled riding in Schenley Park, hiking the trails in Frick Park, will never be forgotten. A “true Pittsburgher” will never sneak into your intended parking space; will always take his/her turn at a four way stop sign, will welcome your greeting of the day, and will root for the Steelers forever. Once a Pittsburgher, always a Pittsburgher, wherever you may live…it’s in your blood. You captured the beauty and the “beat” of the city. We moved to Palm City, FL seven years ago and I still yearn to see the trees in summer lining Reynolds St. and particularly the residential areas of Pittsburgh when fall aririves and the glory of the changing colors of the trees can be seen in all of their majesty. Oh, Pittsburgh, I do love you.

The pictures are so beautiful – I love them. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and now live in Orlando, Florida, but Pittsburgh will always be our home. Thank you for sharing the wonderful trip down memory lane and taking us home for the holidays. Go Steelers!

super fot a pekne mesto a niekde tam byva aj mora rodina ktoru som v zivote nevidel

Oh my….. the pictures were gorgeous! I physically left Pittsburgh in ‘74, but have not left mentally! Now I am homesick… I especially liked the Golden Triangle from the West End (Pic. #6). Beautiful photography — thanks so much for showing us again all the things we are so proud of. Great job!

The only thing you left out is the HEINZ FIELD !! These photos are awesome!!!

My wife and I visit the bugh every year since moving to Redondo Beach Ca 30 years ago and we enjoy the small places and the wonderful people. Rockies resturant in Mc Kees Rocks is the best fish house!

Once a Pittsburgher, always a Pittsburgher. These pictures capture the beauty of the city. Thanks
Orlando, Florida transplant.

these are breathtaking

im a fellow photographer, and im going to the pittsburgh art institute this upcoming july.

I think your work is truely amazing and can’t wait to get back to the city and take more pictures myself.

i just went last weekend and im ready to go back! Pittsburgh is a great place to be, in my opinion!

keep up the amazing work (:

A friend forwarded your pictures to me . We lived in Pittsburgh 69 thru 74 and loved it. Your pictures are incredible. Makes me wish I was young enough to move back. Looks like a lot of things have changed. I didn’t recognize a lot but sure enjoyed the beautiful shots. GREAT Photographer!

(Ruth May’s son) Great city! We miss it down here in Austin Texas. I wonder what happened to Lori Marbella and Marty Wickowski?? Sickman alumni – I miss PA and will hit PMBRO’s when I get back.

Love the pictures, don’t like driving in the city though, never have.

YES THESE ARE AMAZING. SOME YEARS AGO I DID THE INSIDE ART FOR THE STINKING ROSE RESTAURANT IN SAN FRANCISCO
AND PUT A LARGE PANEL COMPARING PITTSBURGH AND SAN FRANCISCO. THE ARE BOTH ALIKE IN SO MANY WAYS. BOTH ARE UNIQUE. I AM VERY PROUD TO HAVE BEEN BORN HERE. THERE ARE TIMES (AS OTHERS MUST FEEL( THAT THEY ARE SORRY THEY LEFT. OUR HEARTS ARE STILL THERE. THANK YOU FOR A VISIT THROUGH PICTURES WHEN EVER I CAN..

how about taking some pictures of where Isaly’s used to be…there is nothing on the web about Isaly’s…I was amazed to see new houses in the hill district…

Born and raised Pittsburgh (Swissvale and Monroeville area), left in 1969 to teach, got married, raised a family and retired. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think about and miss Pittsburgh. Have traveled extensively and visited many cities in the U.S. and abroad and my heart always returns to the Burgh. When asked where I was born my reply is always the same- PITTSBURGH! Great photographs. Thanks for bringing me home again. Love those Steelers.

I was born in Pittsburgh in 1950 and moved to Chicago when I was three. I didn’t return to Pittsburgh until last year
when my favorite aunt died. Your pictures are breathtaking and really captured the beauty of the area. I could not explain well in words how the houses sit side by side up the sides up the hills – you captured that perfectly! Thank you for taking the time – I agree with others, you are a fantastic photographer.

After seeing these pics all I can say is, Redd Up! Yinz going to the Mon? If your pics can get me talking like this, imagine what would happen if I went back. Thanks again.

I am truly touched! My heart and soul is embedded in your photo’s. This is where I’m from, although I live in Queens now. My home is in those hills… And moving back home never seemed so sweet. Thanks.

you did a great job, i hope you sell your stuff to the local chamber, & a local calender publisher. post cards — as a set — wouldn’t be a bad idea either. KDKA country is much hillier than i thought. I’ve never been there but i feel that i know it — sort of — via the KDKA radio .

seriously, your shots are very marketable, i hope you’re making money hand over fist. these shots deserve it.

I do similar photography here in Rochester, NY, & subsequently, appreciate your “eye” & PATIENCE. RSVP me if you want any help.

lovely pictures, indeed. i once knew a man who was from Pittsburgh. i had no idea it was so interesting. it reminds me very much of Seattle.

Great pictures. I was actually referred to this site by another person from the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in Pittsburgh. I’m getting ready to go to school there in May. I have never been to Pittsburgh before but these pictures have got me really excited. Also, I’m trying to raise money to pay for school and am doing that through selling my paintings. I was wondering if I could use some of your pics as inspiration and maybe paint a few of them? If you would allow it just write me and let me know. Again, beautiful pics. Can’t wait to get there.

Living in Santa Barbara, CA now but my heart remains in Pittsburgh and memories of the “Mexican War Street District” on the North Side where I lived.
It was nice to “see” a Primati sandwich again…yum! I miss them since it was a staple in my diet because my brother-in-law OWNS Primantis.
Excellent photography bringing back many many happy memories…kudos.

A friend sent me your website. I am currently out of the country and feeling homesick and these pictures reminded me of exactly what I am missing. We have a beautiful city and you have a wonderful eye for capturing it.

My cousin sent this to me as we used to live in Monongahela years ago and would go to Pittsburgh quite often. It is an amazingly beautiful city. Thanks to whomever took the pictures and huge thanks to my cousin.

What a nostelgic stir to be visually home any place in the world.

I moved South almost 2 years ago. There may be a little more sun down here, but there will never be a skyline like Pittsburgh anywhere in the world. Pittsburgh is a beautiful city and its wonderful to come home to. Pittsburgh is very homey and comfortable and it will always be my home away from my residence.

Just received these pictures from a friend via email attachment. We lived in Butler for 9 months before returning to west coast and these pictures bring back many fond memories of Pittsburgh. We plan on a return visit after retirement in a couple of years and look forward to once again being pjrivilaged to explore the diversity of culture and food that only can be found in the burgh……great pictures and thanks!

Wonderful pictures of my home town. Born and raised outside the city limits but never have I seen a more spectacular skyline! Living in the warm and dry climate of the southwest now; and even though we don’t share that skyline, the beauty of the desert in just as incredible. You have a keen eye for great photography. Come to Arizona and witness the beauty of the desert with that camera sometime!

I just love this town. I am a phoenix native and had the great pleasure of spending part of my summer vacation in Pittsburgh. I am a die hard Steeler fan and thought that’s all my trip was going to be about, how wrong I was. My girlfriend and I had such a memorable time that we vow to return again and soon! Great city, great people, and the greatest football team in the world.

Thank you so much Matt Robinson for bringing me back to the many reasons I love this beautiful town I grew up in, had many fantastic memories in, worked in, played in and in enjoyed the amazing variety of worldly talent and food in. I live in Atlanta now, but there is nothing, and I mean nothing, like Pittsburgh. I’ve been around the world, but I’d always come back to this amazing HOME – full of beauty, character, tradition, loving people, 4 beautiful seasons, food that would beat anywhere, generations of european customs and just comfort. I miss the Burgh !!!!

Matt these photos are amazing… reason why I am so proud to be a Pittsburgher! I never take for granted the beautiful city in which I am so priviledged to live!!!

Thank you for these wonderful pictures. Now I can show my friends that have never been here just why they MUST visit this awesome city.

Thank you so much for these! I left in 1990 and moved to FL, and go back several times a year to see my children and grandchildren… I LOVE PGH! Great job – makes me want to be there right now!

I love the pictures, thank you so much. I left Pittsburgh for a job in Boston, transferred to Chicago, lived in Wisconsin and commuted for job and now I live in a suburb of Chicago. It is cold. I was back for the All Star Game. I used to work for the Pittsburgh Pirates – David Arrigo, the Pirates Photographer is also an awesome photographer like yourself. I miss Pittsburgh and will always bleed Black and Gold. I have forwarded this to all of my friends out this way.

Great job! Thanks again. I need Primantis in Chicago.

I have lived in Pittsburgh for 17 years and I am originally from Madrid, Spain. I travel a lot and I know a lot of great cities all around the world. This AMAZING photos of the town I call home made me really proud and happy to live in such a beautiful and unique place. Sometimes I hate the long cold winters, the lack of places to walk to and need of using my car all the time but looking at these photos I realize that the places I see every day are nothing to complain about!
Thank you and Congratulations on your terrific work!

Pittsburgh, ah the city in the summertime, these pictures bring the modern and the past together. They remind me of the days I played on its streets and rode my bike until it got dark. I miss it, I visit every chance I have. I have lived on the West coast most of my life. But Pitssburgh, it is always in your blood and you never forget those fun loving summer days of swimming, icey – balls. walks in the park. Eat -n-Park hamburgers on a cold winter night in the parking lot.
Then you have the Strip district, no one makes food like they do, Wholley’s, and all the other good smelling stores, boy just talking about it makes me hungry. Thank you for these most beautiful pictures, I will cherish them……..Deser Dweller

When I moved to the Pittsburgh area in 1981 I thought I would live there for a few years. I just sold my home and moved east just last week…after 27 years. These photos really touch me, not just because it is an amazing city, but because I made so many wonderful friends. There is much I will miss…but the people most of all.

I moved away in the 70’s with my parents, but “there’s no place like home”. These bring back warm fuzzies and make me want to go back right now! They are all beautiful and inspiring!

There’s no place like home!

I MOVED AWAY A LONG 30 YEARS AGO AND PITTSBURGH IS STILL MY HOME. MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN CONSIDER IT THEIR HOME. MY HUSBAND HAS ADOPTED PITTSBURGH AS HIS HOME TOO. WE COME BACK EVERY CHANCE WE GET. I LIVE IN TEXAS BUT MY BLOOD RUNS BLACK AND GOLD. ALL OF MY COWORKERS LOOK FORWQRD TO ME GOING HOME AND BRINGING THEM BACK THE WONDERFUL FOODS FROM PITTSBURGH. THERE IS ALSO NO OTHER PARK LIKE KENNYWOOD. IT IS THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE. IF YOU LIVE THERE CHERISH IT Y0U WILL DEFINATELY MISS IT WHEN YOU ARE GONE.

I used to visit cuberland maryland as a child…Not too far from Pittsburgh. Ive worked in the steelmills for over 22-years. what happened to all the steel mills in pittsburgh???.

REMINDS ME OF GROWING UP HERE, EXCEPT FOR THE MISSNG SMOKE STACKS, STEEL MILLS, AND STREET CARS. VERY NICE PICTURES. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I have been gone from this wonderful city for over 16 years, but it will never be gone from my heart. I try to get back at least twice a year to see family. I truly miss the uniqueness that is Pittsburgh.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THEM!!!!!!

Timing couldn’t have been better. Penquins go on to the finals and I then get to see the city they represent. My friends are amazed. I have been gone for 15 years and still call Pittsburgh home. I love Vegas but everything pales in comparison to the people and sites of Pittsburgh. My great friends I have made here can enjoy these photos but unfortunately they will still think I am exaggerating when I tell them about the people. Let’s go Penguins. I hope these photos get to them so they can see who they represent.

I’m a California native with family ties to Pittsburgh, it’s my home away from home and seeing these images made me feel connected, as if I was almost actually there. Beautiful photos. I’m off to book a flight to the ‘burgh…

Brings back many happy thoughts. Going back soon

Pittsburgh IS Art. You just got to know WHERE to look for it. Matt knows where to look! OUTSTANDING SHOTS MATT! Such a beautifull city we live in!

AWESOME photos…..made me homesick! I live in Denver, Colorado and still love coming home to the Pitt!

Just finished looking at your gorgeous May pictures Matt. What an eye you have! Loved every one of them. I am planning on going “home” next summer for my 50th HS reunion from Munhall H.S. Thanks for the preview of things to come! I would buy a book of your pictures any time! Miss Kennywood, Islays (sp?), chipped ham and the hills! Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful scenes of Pittsburgh with all of us from around the world!

These are beautiful photos. You really captured the city in it’s best light. Thank you for letting me bring a little piece of home with me wherever I go.

awesome

These pics are really what the city’s all about! Esp. love the nite shots. I’d love to have some of these as a desktop background…..ever think of making that possible??

Unbelievable pictures (Pittsures). I live in Florida,now, but looking at these photos sure makes you wish you were there. Thank-you for such a rememberance.

BEAUTIFUL!! Just beautiful!! I do miss my hometown! Washington DC has nothing on the “Burgh! Thank you for sharing!

It makes me so proud I’m from Pittsburgh, Its a great city, great people, great super bowl Steelers. Been gone for 25 years but plan on returning. Thanks for the memories!

Great Photos Brings back lots of memories. I lived in Pgh for 34yrs. Lived in MA for 24 yrs. Now , Ok. I’ve enjoyed the lack of snow this year and I love being in the country. Beautiful pics, beautiful city. Not many can boast of the rivers and hills.

Like Dorothy said, “there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home …”
I moved to San Antonio, Texas 25 years ago and I still miss Pittsburgh. I cry when I go home and cry when I leave. Have seriously thought about moving back. There is truly no place like Pittsburgh!

Thanks for the pictures, Matt!

you (yinz) all think pittsburgh’s all farmalnd but it’s not, if you like that, we’ve got that also but we are the best city really
. best view, best amuesment park, and whether i’m in 5th grade or not, i notice how nice people and how you can acually move around and not have to be in a taxi to move 2 ” like in new york. we’ve got the heat like san fran, but we’ve got the snow like chicago. translation to pittsburghese (shortened) yink guyses all dink we’s just som’ kinda farm. we’re more than dat ( pittsburghese is acually never really that bad!!!!!)

Agreed. Pittsburgh definitely has the “no place like home” feeling. Moved to Maryland a few years ago for my job, and everytime I go back to visit – I get a reminder of all the cherishable qualities Pittsbugh really has. From the great food to the mom & pop restaurants/stores; you just don’t that good quality and caring anywhere else. Still miss it!

Im in the Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa Japan till july 2011..i miss the city a lot looking at some of these photos makes me feel like im back

Your photographs are spectacular! You have done a quite a job capturing my city from many angles. Please, continue your work of rediscovering our city’s beauty and promise.

Absolutely Beautiful , those photos have truley moved me & brought back memories from three decades ago when I attended Pitt’s Engineering School, the Cathedral, the Oakland houses and the US Steel Bldg , I see the the Three River Stadium is no longer where it once stood as the “Super Steelrs” home. Then I lived with a young man named Gordon Brifgtsen in Squirrel Hill , Monte Clair Street ( he was with the ROTC or US Airforce and attending Pitt .Thank You

Awesome views of an awesome city.
