Pittsburgh Stories

I moved to Pittsburgh at the beginning of 2019 and was amazed to learn that this city is made up of 90 diverse neighborhoods.

So I decided to create a 90-part documentary series that would allow me to explore all those neighborhoods. Here’s a brief video introduction to PGH Stories:

As I explain in the video, it was a bit daunting to start such a long term project so I came up with a few rules. I would visit each neighborhood alphabetically, I’d walk every neighborhood on foot and I wouldn’t do any internet research before my visit. You can watch the growing collection of documentaries over on YouTube.

Here are a few of my favorite recent episodes:
