Absolutly wonderful!!

it makes me sad to see all the things im missing out on.

a large number of your teachers were told of you site.
They will be watching. Happy shooting Matt. dh

Wow! My next ticket home just may be a one way. Thanks.

Great Photos of Pittsburgh, which once was the only place that I knew. Now, 50 years later, I feel drawn to visit this page, and am reminded that my home town still has “it” for me.

I was in Pittsburgh this holiday season and wonder if you were up there snapping photos somewhere. I’m glade you were.

The photos are absolutely amazing.

Love the Black & White photos. Always look forward to your pics and the sights of the burgh. Thanks and keep the work coming

It’s making me homesick . . . I love the West End Overlook shot. I’ve never been up there, but I plan to go next trip home. And the tunnel shots?? I assume you’re in a moving vehicle, not standing in the road!! Great work!

I have been living in hot ATLANTA for 12 years now. However, no City is like Pittsburgh. The pictures are absolutely Amazing. No skyline can top that of Pittsburgh!

Phenomenal. Never thought I’d miss it as much as I do.

I’ve been away from the burgh for 10 years now. Those photos bring back a lot of fond memories of the best city in the world!!!!!

Thanks again for a beautiful, breathtaking portrayal of the gorgeous City of Pittsburgh. Happy 250th! I cannot wait to come home for good!

You always have some of the very best photos I have ever seen of Pittsburgh! What’s really fantastic is that you offer such breath-taking views as well! I always look forward to your updates!

I just want to say I was born in Pittsburgh, and now live in Johnstown. I wish almost everyday that I could live in Pittsburgh. I’m 17 going on 18 and my dream is to go back from where I was born and live the rest of my life. My whole family lives in the 412 and every time I see these pictures it brings me great thoughts and memories. Great job Matt! Keep em coming!

Loved it!!! Just sent it off to Iraq to my son. Thank you thank you thank you.

There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home!!1

Beautiful!!! I recently moved to Richmond, VA and am really homesick but looking at these pictures makes me smile!! There’s nothing like living in the Burgh….it stays with yinz no matter where ya go!! Keep them coming and thank you for such awesome pix!

Matt, this is definitely an outstanding collection of Pittsburgh photos. Breath-taking views and a beautiful skyline, IMHO!!!

I’ve been out of Pittsburgh for most of January - I am feeling homesick after viewing such inspiring photos of such a great city - I wouldn’t choos any other place to live !

i lived here for 27 years and really never knew about this site…now that i viewed it i will be back more often…like i said i been here for 27 years and never really knew how beautiful our city really was…the only time i really see it is when there is a night game for the pens steelers and pirates….man matt could you get some night photos of the the football and baseball stadiams and mellon arena….man that would be awesome to see them at night…in a stile photo!!!!…thanks again matt…amazing work bro!..keep it up!

I love your work…You have captured Pittsburgh in a whole new light for me…Very well done…

Fantastic!!! And, I’ll bet you’re recruiting a lot of fans for Pittsburgh with your shots!

Love these pictures, reminds me of some of the great old memories of living there 2 times in my life

I live in Porter, Tx just outside of Houston, and been to PA twice now. I have truly enjoyed myself both times and went to visit my best friend. I rode the trolly at the Duquesne incline and that was great! I miss being there and plan on coming back soon! I really enjoyed your pics and it sure brought back wonderful memories. Pittsburgh is a fun place!

I’m a transplant to Phoenix Arizona. I have been out here for five years now. Pittsburgh will always be my home. Thanks for the amazing photos! I BLEED BLACK & GOLD!!!!!

Thank you for the amazing pics. I live in Tampa, FL and was back in town with my girlfriend Lisa for New Years. It was her first time in Pittsburgh and she loved the pics. We both miss the City and everyone at The Inn and E Town! We’ll be back soon.

WOW!!!!! I really miss home and am anxious to return. Just Beautiful!

I have forwarded this to all my friends who don’t live in Pittsburgh…..these are beautiful photographs! My late husband and I celebrated New Year’s Eve First Night in 2007 and it was spectacular, but we should have been standing in the distance to really appreciate the beauty of ringing in a Pittsburgh New Year. Thank you for the photos.

PENNSYLVANIA IS REALLY GODS COUNTRY,AND PITTSBURGH IS THE SOUL.
I LOVE IT

After a 20 year absence it’s good to see that the old town is still vibrant and alive. I love visiting this site. Go Robert Morris!

I’m not a native obviously and I can tell anyone that very few cities in the world, if any, can match Pittsburgh’s skyline… Thanks Matt for these great pictures!

MISS IT MISS IT. BUT MY NEW PLACE NEAR HARRISBRG IS GREAT TOO.

Your work is great, please call 412-681-8151 or visit my photo showroom 4735 Liberty Ave Pgh. Pa. 15224 in HEART OF Bloomfield.

I love this city! How can you look at Pittsburgh and not feel strong, loyal, romantic, entranced, infatuated….and amazed. Maybe I will move back someday……even if I do hate the cold!!!

WEll what can I say I am about 2 thousand miles from home and Pittsburgh is my home and getting this was great and sad,; because it reminds me all the things and places I miss. Thank you

You NEVER cease to amaze with your photographs. I ALWAYS make a point to visit Pittsburgh at the end of the year. The vibe is so beautiful

Beautiful, Now I’m anxious to visit Pittsburgh.

My husband and I moved away about 2 years ago. Pittsburgh will ALWAYS be in our hearts!! LOVE THE PICS!!
How can anyone beat that amazing skyline? NO ONE CAN!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

I just viewed your photos and loved them. I am sending them to my son, Scott who moved to Rockport, TX 12 years ago and misses Pittsburgh alot. He will love them. Thanks

I just viewed your pics and I love them! I moved from Oakmont, Pa in 1980 and currently live in Peoria, AZ. I miss Pgh so much. My brother (whose name is Mark Robinson by the way) still lives there and I long to go home someday. Pgh is a wonderful city. Keep up the great photos.

Your photos are the “best” I’ve lived here for 66 years and still find it breathtaking, especially
coming out of the Fort Pitt tunnel. Also, the magnificent view from Mt Washington. You have
captured the beauty of a great city. Keep up the great work.

I love the pictures and it makes me home sick. I have not lived in DA Burgh since 1985 but I do go home often. I have to go through the Fort Pitt tunnels to return to MD from my parents house and seeing Heinz field as soon as you come out of the tunnels is FABULOUS!

Makes my heart proud to see such amazing shots of the Burg. I’m almost homesick!

Amazing views! Made us remembered the short time we spent with you guys last Thanksgiving 2002, especially the Duquesne incline—–that was breathtaking!!!! Hope you can come and visit us too. We are just 3 hours away from the famous Heavenly Leigh,Lake Tahoe, 20 minutes from different Wineries in Napa Valley and 5 minutes from Jelly Belly Factory Fairfield, CA. Missing your company.

It’s just as we remember it, A major change from here in South Florida. We miss the sights, people and food, but not the cold weather, but most of all we miss the grandkids.

Glorious pictures bring back memories of college days,being married and having children there.Pittsburgh is home to me even after 14 years in Florida. I return every couple of years. Your superb pictures make me want to hop on the next plane.Thanks!

A friend of mine sent me your site. I’m so glad she did. Your photos are absolutely beautiful!! People everywhere need to see how beautiful Pittsburgh is. Keep snapping, can’t wait to see the next installment.

Pittsburgh is not the “pitts”!

Born and raised near Pgh, (Donora) but moved away years ago. There is something magic about walking the grounds of the city and the surrounding valleys, coming back to ones’ roots, that makes you whole again. Loved the pics, I miss you Pittsburgh, so much that I bought Steeler crocs (shoes)!

I’m a Westerner, born and raised, but have tons of family in the ‘Burgh whom I love and miss tremendously…My Aunties always send me updates of your photos Matt and I gotta tell ya, it truly is a beautiful City! I threaten to relocate and someday I just might, but until then, it’ll remain one of my favorite places in the world! Your pics bring back some very, very fond memories… Thank you for keeping those of us on the ‘other coast’ connected!

The views and quality of these outstanding photos defy description. In viewing many of them, I reminisced seeing where I was born and went to school so many years ago. I especially liked the scenes at the Point where I worked for many years (KDKA-TV). The skyline has not changed all that much. Gorgeous then, better now.
I now live in southern California and will return to visit as soon as it warms up back there. Congratulations!

We certainly enjoy these marvelous photos of the “Burg”. Thank you so much for your efforts. It is wonderful to look @ all of this but couldn’t give up living in Sunny Florida. However, we do make many trips back to visit our daughter, son in law and granddaughters. Love being there in late Spring and Summer!
You do a splendid job of photographing all these wonderful sights!!!!
Thank you so much!!

Thank you for these beautiful pictures of Pittsburgh. We were born and raised in the South Hills and moved to Buckeye Arizona almost 2 years ago. It is so good to see all the familiar places in the beautiful City of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh will always be “home” to us.

We moved from Pittsburgh a few years ago. These photos truly make me home sick.

The pictures are awesome! If I could look at them all day I would! In other words, Totally COOL!

Isn’t is great to live in such a beautiful, caring and friendly state? Pennsylvanians are like no others, we live together, laugh together and always care about each other..

Awesome pictures,I was born in Tarrentum & was shipped to Califonia at the ripe age of 1yr,so I don’t remember much. But I have heard many stories. I do know why my parents decided to leave two reasons the wheather & Red Harrison. Two of my favorite teams Steelers & Raiders, Raiders 1st.

Terrific reminder of my years in Pittsburgh. One comment I find appropriate…the picture of the “crooked rails”… how poetic for all those politicans who have and currently rein in and around Pittsburgh…. Heck, Chicago has nothing over Pittsburgh when it comes to the finest politicians money can buy!

my husband and i drive around the city every morning and evening. we take 279, go over the veterns bridge and to liberty tubes .im intriged every day. in the morning the river and bridges go for ever with all the lights. And on the way home when we come out of the tunnel. the sun makes the city look like its silver. its just beautiful .I’ve really enjoyed your pictures. my niece from colorado set this site to me. greatly appreciated. i’ll be back.

Matt, As I read the comments, one thread rings true. Like so many Pittsburghers living elsewhere, you bring us back HOME in living color. Thank you so very much!

Sure do miss Pittsburgh.

I have not lived in Pittsburgh since my childhood; my family left when I was 9 years old. That’s 40 years ago! But it is still HOME to me!

I have lived in Pittsburgh for 74 years and have traveled the world….ALWAYs glad to come back to the Burgh!

Great pics!! I moved to California in ‘88. I love seeing pics of my hometown!!

These photos were great.
I grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania in the 50s and I loved going to the ‘big city’ Pittsburgh.
‘The Burgh that was spelled with an h.

My husband and I were born in Monessen and now live in Oklahoma. We go back for visits every year and still miss the hills and beautiful scenery. Go Steelers!

We’ve been gone 30 yrs. and the pics bring back alot of memories. The skyline is beautiful, especially coming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel. And after all these years in Texas, its still “GO STEELERS”!

I have been away from my home of Pittsburgh for 28 yrs. in Atl.Ga., not a day goes by that I pray I can move back home, the pictures are wonderful, I cried when I saw them. I am from Scott Township, my home is filled with Pittsburgh momentos, but there is nothing like the real thing! Pittsburgh for sure is the soul of God`s country, as someone said in the comments, the best city in the world. I think God made only Pittsburghers feel this way, no other people from other cities seem to feel the same about their beloved cities.

I now live in the San Francisco Bay area which is the most beautiful city area in the country. Pittsburgh, where I was reared and received two university degrees, (Pitt), is still what I consider to be home. I have lived in New England, D. C., Tennessee, and California but am only nostalgic about Pittsburgh–not just the beauty but the people. Hail to Pitt, go Steelers. The Pittsburgh region is one where a person can have a lovely house in a splendid area for less than three quarters of a million dollars. This is not true in California.

The burg….I have been away to long and need to come back home. The city is alive with excitement and energy, which is hard to find anywhere. I visit over the holidays and my little one always asks; Dad with so much to do and so much family, why do we have to leave…….Hard to respond to that. Great Pic’s, brings back a lot of memories. Thanks and may God bless each and everyone of us >

This is fantastic! My home (small h) is now in Virginia and I’m spending this year in Izmir, Turkey, but for me, Home (capital H) will always be Pittsburgh!

When I grew up and left Pittsburgh, it was called the armpit of the nation. But we produced lots of iron and steel for WWII. So what if the window sills were covered with soot! But now, beauty and memories

Brings back memories, I miss that city.

I had to leave Pgh. in the summer of 1964 when my Dad had to transfer to Savannah. I have not been back, but I DEARLY miss her! I will return someday. What a beauty she has continued to be! I loved every one of these pictures. Thanks!!!!! Judy Hogan

I LOVE THE PICTURES.
IT MAKES ME” HOMESICK “.
WE’VE BEEN LIVING IN FL FOR A LONG TIME BUT PGH. WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME.
I LOVE THE PIC OF THE WINTRY SCENE AND INCLINE……..BEAUTIFUL.
I HAVE A QUESTION……AFTER THE INCLINE PIC I ONLY GET SMALL BLOCKS WITH A RED X IN THEM.
I WANTED TO SEE MORE PICS…..WHY CAN’T I SEE ALL OF THEM?
THANK YOU FOR SUCH GREAT PICTURES……

Great Photos. You captured the essence and heart and soul of our city. The one of the incline into downtown, looks like a painting. Keep up the good work.

We left Pgh. in 1962 and are living in California (Sacramento). Pittsburgh still has it and we still miss it, we come back every year and hate to leave each time. You’re doing a great service Matt for all of us displaced “Bergers” Yhank you!
Sincerely,
Lee Nickel

Absolutely gorgeous makes me homesick for the Burgh.

Born a “Berger” in 1955. Lived & raised in Peters Twp. Chased a girl from “84″ PA in 1980 to Miami who went to U of M. We have never left there but my heart is always back home in Pittsburgh. We are raising 3 teenage boys who all say they want to live in the Berg. Since all our relatives are still there we visit quite often. The boys were bitten by the “berg bug” @ a young age. We raised them the right way as “Steller” fans too! I predict in 10 years we will retire back home. These photos solidify my decision! Great job. Thanks for the memories.

I left Pittsburgh 52 years ago but often remember the good times. PIctures are wonderful.

Do you have any of this stuff on DVD? How can I obtain photos?
You definitely have a good eye for photography. How many end up on the cutting room floor?
Thanks for the wonderful memories.
An old Monongahela boy………….Jay

I have lived here for 32 years now in West Chester and still call Pittsburgh my home, Yes it is lovely here however the warmth of Pittsburgh never leaves ones heart. Thanks for the great photos they brought me home for a little while.

I’ve lived here nearly 50 years and can never get over the beauty of this city. I’ve done extensive traveling, but there is no where like da Burgh. I can barely wait until I’m on my way from the airport and through the tunnels to go home. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, the view is always awe inspiring! Thanks for a great job, again!

Home sweet home. We left Pittsburgh in 95 and I still miss it. Thank you for sharing.

I’d love to see a series on the North Side Mexican War Streets, Lake Elizabeth, Gus and Yaya’s, Aviary, Buhl Planetarium, Carnegie Library, St. Peter Church etc.

I actually grew up on one of the Mexican War Streets. 1207 Monterey Street. A few doors up from the Y on the same side of the street. I can remember when Franco lived on Taylor and use to go to the Y to work out. He would buy all us kids ice cream from the Good Humor truck as he was leaving the Y. Then he bought the house at the corner of North Ave. and either Resaca Place or Palo Alto.

My husband grew up in Ross township. Oh my. McNightmare Road. Not sure I miss everything!

Well thanks again for sharing.

these pictures are great they bring back a lot of memories. it makes me homesick

Great pictures. Makes me more homesick than ever. Proud to call Pittsburgh home.

After reading through the comments, it is safe to say that Pittsburgh’s greatest export is it’s people.

Great photography! Great city!

Beautiful photograpy - never been there - now it’s on my to do list!

Brings back wonderful memories of growing up in Pittsburgh; it’s still my favorite town.

I was born in Pittsburgh 75 years ago. All of my family is buried in Pittsburgh. My wife and I will be returning there this summer as we go to our 50th college reunion at Penn State (I got my MBA from Pitt). I live in Montana now but we’re really looking forward to our trip “home” this year. I long to hear that good old Pittsburgh accent….which I never even knew existed when I lived there. Having lived all over this country, my ear still has a keen sense of hearing someone from Pittsburgh and I always strike up a conversation with them. When you hear that accent, you can always be sure that the person is friendly and sincere. It gives me a warm feeling of belonging. When I even think about Pittsburgh, I drift back into that good old Pittsburgh accent myself. Pittsburghers……I love you all !!!

Their’s no place like home. Thank you for taking me back home one more time.

Lived all of my 87 years in the area but my son lives in St. Louis. I always enjoy seeing these pictures and have taken many myself. My Son lives in St, Louis, but His wife, my Daughter-in-law, misses Pittsburgh more than he does, so I will forward these great pictures to her. Thanks for keeping me on the liat!

I love seeing pictures of my home town! These are beautiful. Thank you for posting them so that I can see Pgh in all her glory. A friend of mine, also from “da ‘burg” forwarded this to me.

I live in Chicago and can’t wait to get back to warmer winters (can anyone believe that I just said that?) I hope that the economy can hold more tech jobs so that we can move back home. Both hubby and I are from the area and miss family terribly.

I hate Pittsburgh

Live in San Diego ~ but love my ‘burgh! Miss you!

Your pictures prove what my wife and I always say about Pittsburgh (my home area). It is the one US city that really knows how to make an entrance!

Fabulous! I miss Pgh so much and I was kust there visiting. Thanks for pics that I can view whenever I want!

love my yinzer city….living on the east coast now, but da burgh will always be home to me!

BORN IN mAGEE hOSPITAL 85 YEARS AGO, CHILDREN, TOO…..AFTER MOVING WE ALWAYS RETURNED TO SHOP, FOR MOVIES, SPORTS, MUSEUM, THEATRE ETC. HAVEN’T BEEN BACK FOR 30 YEARS…..HOW CITY HAS CHANGED! fAMILY GONE NOW…..WILL ALWAYS BE HOME. wONDERFUL PICTURES….THANK YOU

Great pictures! It brings back so many memories. I grew up in Pittsburgh. I especially liked the Duquense Incline. That was my sixth grade class trip. I lived in Forest Hills.

Your pictures are really breathtaking…..I grew up in Pittsburgh when it was difficult to see and breath….what a wonderful difference. I live on the West Coast,but I still get homesick. Thank you.

Fantastic Pictures. Who says you can’t go home? I live in Jersey now but, I was born and raised a “burger”. These pictures really make me homesick for the “Burgh”. Hope to visit this summer.

Me parecen hermosas esas fotos donde ustedes viven.

I enjoyed all the pictures, the bridges, Golden triangle, tunnel pictures and had a flash back of memories. There are only 3 bridges going from Indiana to Louisville, KY and think Pittsburgh is really rich. You are blessed. Teddie Criss

I lived in Hazelwood. Joined the Army at 17 and never came back to Pittsburgh. Believe me, I miss it and the photos brought back many memories. There is no place like Pittsburgh in the 50-s and 60-s.

There is just no place like home. We moved to Baltimore 4 years ago and while it has its “charm” it will never compare to Pittsburgh. These photos are really amazing. Thank you!

I’m glad so many people say they feel “homesick” when they see these photographs. that means i’m not the only one. Can’t wait to come back someday! Absolutely beautiful… Can you do some of station square and southside/oakland area?

The pictures are beautiful. Thank you for giving me warm memories of my 5 yr.’s in Pittsburgh.

Great Photographs, keep them coming. Pittsburgh has some wonderful place to see..

Great photographs. I do have a question though. If Pittsburgh is such a great city, why are there so many displaced Pittsburgh natives? Seriously, with all of the overflowing nostalgia, ask yourselves why you left. In all seriousness, it really is one of the most downtrodden depressing cities in the country. The job market sucks, the weather sucks and there is an overwhelming legacy of oppression that has been passed down generation to generation from poor immigrants who came to this country for cheap labor. 100 years later, their descendants still can’t shake off the learned helplessness of their forebears when the mills closed down. It’s a pretty city, but God what a dreary godforesaken place!

The pictures are fantastic. Why do the fireworks come outof the building?

forget San Francisco! I left my heart in the ‘Burgh!!!

We’ve come a long long way in my 80 years here. & I love it

Dolomite, I know what you mean, but the oppressed stand together! There is such a great sense of civic pride and community in Pittsburgh. Pittsburghers have a dialect that is like their own little language. When you’re from Pittsburgh, you’re a Pittsburgher forever. There might be a lot of transplants, but there are a whole lot of people who’d never dream of leaving. I don’t know what’s so special about it, but there is something there that never goes away.

Such a delightful collection of photos, bringing back fond memories of Grandview Ave. and South Hills High 1952 - 54. Relocated to Washington, DC in the early 60’s, and now reside in the Annapolis, MD area, but get back “home” every chance I get. Several years ago I was able to get a similar print of the Duquesne Incline, autographed and taken by my friend Dale Gleason, and cherished to this day. The print was displayed at that time on the front page of the Roto Section of the Pgh. Press. There were so many requests for copies of those Pgh. prints that the Press couldn’t satisfy the demand. My applause to you, and hope you’ll continue to please so many people with your work.

wow!!!!! nice job capturing the most dynamic city in the world!!!! the burg is and always will be home to so many of us that have moved away for opportunity throughout the last 30 years or so. i have visited many times and always say when asked where are you from “pittsburgh” is always my response. this even after having moved away from “the burg” over 30 years ago!!

To all the wonderful folks i miss and love so much!!!!!

Is it possible to be infatuated with a city? I must not be normal. Of course, I’m used to Detroit. Thanks for the photographs, they are MUCH appreciated. How ’bout a little more of Oakland, Shadyside, and Squirrel Hill? Like walking up the hill to a Pitt basketball game or the street vendor at Bigelow and Forbes selling the Pitt gear on game days or something like that? Or the inside of the Carnegie library in Oakland is spectaular. Of course, the list could go on and on. Thanks again.

I visited Pittsburgh for the first time this past November. My boyfriend grew up there and was so excited to show me the city that he is so proud of. Having grown up in California, I can honestly say that I missed out on the experience of living in the Burg. The people treated me like a long lost friend that they were thrilled to see. We were busy the entire week of my visit, between seeing the city, enjoying the amazing food or visiting with the warm and wonderful people we knew and met. The only thing I enjoyed more than spending time with my guy was EXPERIENCING THE BURG! I would go back anytime! Who knows….maybe he will propose on the Incline?

I moved from the Burgh in 79, been in Florida since. I miss it everyday. I am approaching retirement and will be moving back very soon. The greatest city in the USA. I want to enjoy the rest of my life in “The Burgh” GO STEELERS

WOW…great pictures. Having spent 50 years in the …burgh these pics bring back memories of old friends, fish sandwiches on the Strip, The Pirates, The Steelers, The Penguins, the ease of working in the city, the view coming out of the tunnel into the city and many, many more things. I live in Southeastern Virginia now and we don’t have any of the above but it is WARMER and on the Ocean. I enjoy coming back to visit, probably reflecting on the passing of time.

Amazing! I moved away eight years ago. Sometimes I forget just how much the City means to me. But viewing these breathtaking photos brings it all back to me. I just might have to plan a trip this summer. Thank you for sharing. Truly lovely…

Where are all of the cool pics from PGH’s “golden triangle”, Millvale/Etna/Sharpsburg? What I miss the most are those breathtaking views from the Etna bypass.

The pictures are absolutely amazing–I would love to live in Pittsburgh!

My Heart and soul is and always will be with the best city in the world. My eyes just water when I see pics like these.
My home always.

these are phenomenal! just love this city and all that are in it!

don’t miss the winter at all. i like sitting on my back porch and eating lunch in shorts and a tee shirt in Feburary!

I have lived in beautiful, sunny Southern California for 23 years. The weather and lifestyle are phenominal, but nothing can match the unique beauty of Pittsburgh. Its geography, people and overall community amenities are amazing. I visit “home” at least once a year and am continually struck by the genuine friendliness of Pittsburghers. Now if we could just do something about Pittsburgh weather…!

Made me happy, and made me homesick as well.

Pittsburgh is not my hometown, but I spent four years here and MISS IT DEARLY. And the people is what made Pittsburgh so special. Yes, the population might be shrinking, business might be moving out, but it is a beautiful, safe and happy (remember Mr. Rogers?) place, and will always be special for me. Thanks for the memories.

Wow! I live in Northern Virginia now and there is virtually nothing like the Pittsburgh skyline or classic streetscapes or the West End Overlook… I do miss a lot of this! Not all… not the snow and colder temperatures, but the BEAUTY of my hometown! Thanks for the wonderful view of “the ‘Burgh.”

Wonderful photos of Pittsburgh! These sure do make me homesick! Living in the Southwest now for 11 years, I sure do miss the unique design the Pgh offers. Everyone should take a trip to Pittsburgh……What a beautiful place. THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

Susan,

Thank you for validating my decision to stay in Pittsburgh and practice architecture here for the past 35 years. This is truly one of the world’s best cities - not only for its beauty, but for its wonderful people.

These are great. I miss the ‘Burgh bad.

We left Pittsburgh almost 40 years ago but you never get it out of your soul. The amazing pictures just bring back why we all love Pittsburgh, the STEELERS, the PIRATES and the PENGUINS. PITTSBURGH IS STILL THE GREATEST.

The Pittsburgh area is a nice place to be from.

Love the “Burgh” and everything about it. Now if it only had sunshine and warmth more than 53 days a year we would have paradise. But til then I’ll stay warm in Carolina. But my heart will probably be there forever. Go Steelers The pictures are beautiful. Keep them coming.

can’t wait to leave and never coming back!

Great photos! I’ve been living in South Florida for the past 17 years. I sure don’t miss the cold weather, but I sure do miss the people, places, mountains and trees! Since my Mom passed away in 2006, I haven’t really wanted to come back home to visit, but your pictures sure do strike a cord in my heart. Thanks!

Wow! I sure do love the city and all the lights but one day retire in a warmer place!

wow…. that was the best i have ever seen of pittsburgh …..great job…..u made pittsburgh look like a beautiful place to live …..

Thank you for the trip back home. I was born and raised in the eastern suburbs of the burgh but have lived in Maryland for 20 years. There are a lot of Steeler fans here and transplants from Pittsburgh but I still call Pittsburgh home. Thanks for the memories!

I have never visited Pittsburgh but lived in Doylestown, PA. (Bucks County) for 40 years. I never realized what a cosmopolition city it is. It is beautiful. Some day I will make it a point to visit there.

I have been living in Pittsburgh my whole life. And I have never seen this picyures before! They show that Pittsburgh is acctully a great place to raise a family based on what you just saw. Its just amazing!!!!!!
Next year it is all the Steelers year! Pittsburghs goimg to the Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure is good to see Home, I love the weather here in the south for the winter but nothing will ever beat the “BURG”

Living in Baltimore for the past 8 years…….what a sight for sore eyes!

Thanks for the great pictures! I moved to Australia 7 years ago and eventhough this is a beautiful country, it will never replace Pittsburgh in my heart. The ‘burgh is the best place in the world.

nice place must visit this place real soon

Three decades ago, I went to Pitt and Mayor Pete Flaherty’s staff promoted the slogan: “Pittsburgh, Some Place Special”. Your photos bring back all the memories and show many of the ways Pittsburgh still is some place special. Thank you for posting them online so those of us who now live elsewhere can still visit.

I lose my wife of 33 years.the pic took away same of the hurt.I Thnak you
From pittsburgh

The views are wonderful, but I don’t miss the snow.

Great photos of what will always be America’s Greatest City to me. Lived there from 1942-1984 and it will always be “home”.

stunning, never seen this place until now -great photo’s

Brings back very fond memorys been gone over 40years and yes I do miss PGH

After leaving Pittsburgh 10 years ago, my husband retired and we were fortunate enough to come back home to Pittsburgh. Those who have never left probably don’t realize what a wonderful place it is. We missed everything
about it…..the friendliness of the people, the fantastic views, the great food, the steelers, and I could go on forever!
As far as the snow, it’s not been that bad of a year and before we know it the beautiful trees will have buds and the
flowers will be popping up(if the deer don’t eat them first), then our wonderful summer, followed by glorious fall.

I was so homesick for 10 years and now we’re home and even the grey skies of winter don’t keep me from smiling and
being happy and thankful that we’re back.

I miss Pittsburgh terribly. It won’t be long and I’ll be “home”. Sometimes it takes somebody to be separated from something so familiar to realize it’s full beauty. That IS Pittsburgh!

BEAUTIFUL PICS! Thanks for doing this site. Have been in FL for 22 years but there is nothing like going home to visit. Doesn’t matter what time of the year. But I do love to go in the summer and visit Kenneywood!!!

I moved from the “Burgh” 33 years ago. There is no place like home. Although I live in the south, my heart and soul still say I’m a Yankee and proud of it. You know who you are when you come from the North Side. Graduated from Allegheny High in 1967…………what a year! Thanks for the memories.

I have lived in Pittsburgh for 44 years. I have always been thankful to those people who have helped make Pittsburgh
what is today a beautiful city. I have been to many of the sites you shot and the Photographs are just great. Thank you.

Lived here most of my life……………….retired to Florida for 21 years…………….came back 4 years ago……..

nothing like the beauty of this city plus the sports………..especially the Steelers and the Pens………only miss the Florida

sunshine ,Florida friends and my Florida family……….but my Pgh. family is here……..I guess we can’t have it all!!!!!!!!!!

great photos!!!!!!!!!!!!

Born and raised in the south hills. Loved Pittsburgh all my growing years and still do. Lived in Texas (Houston & Plano) for twenty years. Always will be a Pittsburgher. One beautiful city in all seasons. What a beautiful sight and home of the Steelers, too!

These photos would make great postcards. I would like to have some to send to people who think Pittsburgh is still a dirty steel city. One beautiful city all seasons.

If you’ll notice this sender’s alias, those are my initials..For the longest time (over 60 yrs.) I thought my parents were
“cute” making me Ms.Pittsburgh. Now I know why they really did it, they were proud of this town of the 30’s, smokey skies, “gumbanns” all……….. and so so am I in the 21st century w/o the smokey part, as one can see in your pics. Pulls
at the heart strings……..Thanks so very much.

Wow! Great photos of a great town. I remember everything about itas “bigger than life”. From going to Forbes Filed to watch the Pirates play - it cost $1.25 then - the Panthers and the Steelers at Pitt Stadium as a kid; Rege Cordic in the morning and WAYY for late night. Later, teaching at Penn Hills Sr. HIgh; then the chase for advanced degerees and a long career teaching at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. I haven’t lived in Pittsburgh since 1963, but a part of me never left. I visit friends still there as often as they will allow me to intrude on them and “their town”. It always feels like home. Thanx for doing this.

i miss the people and the pride of pittsburgh!

I love it !!!! and beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! love bob or wags

Beautiful shots!! Really DO miss the ‘Burg even though Oregon is also a beautiful spot in the world. Pittsburgh will probably always feel like home.

Cak

Theres no place like home,I love this town,I know live in the Harrisburg area,But I was born and raised in The Burgh,It will always be home to me,just follow the yellow steal bridges !!

IF U REALLY LOVE THE ‘BURGH’ THEN U KNOW YOUR HEART BLEEDS BLACK AND GOLD!!!
HERE WE GO PITTSBURGH, HERE WE GO!!!!

These bring back very fond memories…I live/work in the National Capital Region, but grew up in Moon Township and went to Pitt for my grad years. This site made me put “trip to Pittsburgh” on my to-do list. My girls have never really seen my hometown! Thanks for the memories!

I remember when you couldn’t see Pgh. for the smoke from the mills! Look what 70yrs. and vision can do to the “ol triangle”. My hats off to you!

Once a Pittsburgh’er, always a Pittsburgh’er. We have been gone for 34 years and have come back to visit every year but 2. We have traveled and lived pretty much all over the country. There is no place like the “Burgh. I love the Pittsburgh pride in their town. We lived near San Francisco for a number of years. Those people did nothing but denigrate their town - no pride in it at all. The pictures were wonderful. Thanks.

Pittsburgh stands in honor of God who blessed our god’ly forefathers who founded Pennsylvania primarily to spread the Gospel of redemption through the Lord Jesus Christ. If God would so bless in this lifetime, imagine heaven.

I LEFT PENNSYLVANIA 45 YEARS AGO , AND ENJOY COMING BACK AS OFTEN AS I CAN-, I ENJOY THE THREE RIVERS/ VIEWS FROM MT.WASHINGTON. AS A YOUNG BOY , MY MOTHER TOLD ME THAT I COULD USE A STREET CAR AND TOUR PITTSBURGH BY MY SELF…… I DID- TOURING THE MUSEUM AND SEEING THE SIGHTS.. EATING A HAMBURGER IN A WHITE TOWER STAND….. IT WAS A PLEASANT DAY…. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF THAT DAY, AND MY MOTHER WAS RIGHT- WE ALL HAVE THE BUILT IN ADVENTUROUS SIDE , BUT ALSO THE ABILITY TO FEND FOR OURSELVES WHEN IT IS NECESSARY.

I moved away from Pittsburgh about 5 years ago. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss it. I was thrilled when my husband showed me this site. Now I check it often, looking for new pictures of the city I love. Your pictures are awesome!! I love the different views and effects. You really know how to bring out the beauty of the city.

Great perspective on all of these. You make our city look beautiful. I especially like your west end and tunnel shots. Film or digital? And do you do your own developing? If so, these are even more impressive.

Have been a displaced “burgher” since 1980, living in Northern California. Your pictures are breathtaking! I can see why most people (like my parents) would never want to leave Pittsburgh. Your pictures make it such a beautiful city. Your pictures bring back such wonderful memories of seeing the city as a youngster; going with my mom to Oakland, and Carnegie Library; seeing if the pond is iced over on Panther Hollow; sledding down the hills in Frick Park. It is breathtaking to see the city as you come out of the Ft. Pitt tunnels. I miss it, love to visit, memories galore for it, but I do like the warm weather in California. Thank you for such awesome pics.

I am so blessed to have lived here all my life - thank you, Lord.

Thanks! Nice to see Pittsburgh in Winter from Iraq! Great pictures! I am ready to come home to Pittsburgh! Great

Born in Millvale, now live in Florida. Love Pittsburgh! Visit it often as I have tons of family all over the city. Your pictures tell it all! Beautiful! Richard Camp is my nephew. Hi Richard we miss you.

Don’t woo me Chicago, I am married to Pittsburgh, and these pix prove it! I scrolled comments, and other than you, Sharon (look again at this beauty) we loooooooooove our town. You even got some black + gold ones!

Lived in the Burgh for several years and loved the city and the people. Many of the fondest memories. Thanks for sharing.

I moved from there when I was just 9 years old and this city still calls me to visit. A part of me is still there. Great photos! If you are ever in St. Pete, Florida, look me up and let’s go fishing. I am an outdoor photographer and also a fishing guide/publisher.

Thank you for the photo’s. Go Steelers!

Pittsburgh is in my blood and in my heart. I miss running up South Negley, “just for fun.”

I love your site!! I lived in Pittsburgh all my life, and just recently moved away. Your photos bring back great memories of my hometown, and never fail to make me smile. “The Burgh” will awlays be home to me. Please keep these awesome pictures coming!

I love living in Pittsburgh. I have lived here all my life & don’t want to live anywhere else. I have just e-mailed these pictures to all my family who have moved to different areas of the United States & Canada. Just a little reminder of what they left behind.

Pictures are exciting and although I left Pittsburgh in 1075, my heart is still there.

Pittsburgh is my home and you capture it on film like no other. In my free time I try to emulate your style, but there is just no comparison. You’re amazing at what you do. Thanks for showing the world the beauty of my home, Pittsburgh.

Im now serving in the military and I check this site often. I miss Pittsburgh alot. Pittsburghers are truly unique people…

WITH ALL THE PLACES WE HAVE LIVED, I MISS PITTSBURGH THE MOST. WE WERE ONLY THERE FOR 6 YEARS BUT PITTSBURGH IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE PLACE TO LIVE. LEFT ONE GOOD FRIEND BEHIND AND SHE SENT BE THIS AND NEWS WORTH NOTING, GOD BLESS WANDA.

Awesome pix!! We live about 60 miles from the burgh, but go there often!! Gotta love it!!

makes me homesick!!

Those were GREAT pictures!! I’ve been living in Orlando now for almost 15 years and still can’t get Pgh out of my blood (you can take the girl out of the burgh but you can’t take the burgh out of the girl!!). I have family (and friends!) that I visit every year (or at least once every 2 yrs) and 2 things I HAVE to do when I come home……..go to a Pirate game (yes…even thou it can be a bit disappointing) and go to Kennywood (nothing beats those frys!!! lol). Although I love the weather much better, Pgh has sooooooo much more culture & beauty…..and the people are much friendlier in Pgh!! GO STEELERS!! I miss Bill…..but GOOD LUCK Mike with next season!!

BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!! I moved from Pgh. 26 years ago but I still carry it in my heart. You know that saying Pittsburgh is the friendly city well it really rings true. I have not met people any where else that can compare to the people back home.

I plan to visit this sight often to get a little taste of home.

I moved to Southern CA more than15 years ago. It will never hold a candle to my “home town”, PGH. I grew up there & yes sometimes miss the snow. Your photos capture all that PGH is…beautiful, sentimental, these pics were done with TLC. I will always be a Steeler fan & will always be a Pittsburgher. I have many precious memories that I hold close to my heart. I live in Los Angeles………all I can say is PGH rules!!!!! Nothing like the warmth of the people there.
God bless Pgh!

I was born in Pgh now live in Calif. Nice place to visit and miss my famil
