I really hope this channel isn't dead... I discovered the neighborhoods series a few months ago, and I think they're one of the most beautiful things on RUclips.
This is such a greater capture and analysis of the people of an American community than I've seen in my lifetime. This entire series has been pure "slice of life" concentrate from the get-go. It's hard to compare this type of content because of how genuine, and human, and down-to-earth that it is compared to anything else out there. It really has been a humbling experience and a true blessing to have been able to stumble upon this treasure trove. A trove of love, compassion, and companionship. Long story short, this shit belongs in the Sminthsonian. Keep up the absolutely fantastic work.
Thank you soooo much Dean! Your videos mean so much to residents and people in general here in pgh. Seeing AAMI made me tear up, my parents enrolled me in this program when I was little. I had a ball learning music there!! Thank you!
@@merccadoosis8847 I'd have my money on that neighborhood failing the shit outta the sugar test to say the least. Gotta say though, if someone who is not your neighbor comes around asking for some sugar I'd be a bit sketched out too. Don't care what brand of person.
Another fantastic video. I’ve really come to enjoy this series being a lifelong Pittsburgher. Keep up the good work Dean, the city should be proud to have you doing the work you’re doing. Thank you.
Dean! You’re doing necessary project in such a tasteful, cinematic, docu-series style. I’m a huge fan of your b-roll sequences and your drone operation. As well as your delivery on historical information. I’m down in Morgantown, WV. I would love to meet up one day or if you need a second camera op, I’d be more than willing to make the trip up to help out! Keep doing you brother!
I lived in Homewood from 1941 to 1956, when my family moved to the Lincoln Avenue area. I have very fond memories of Homewood, where I attended Holy Rosary Elementary School. As children, we walked the streets and played little league baseball at Homewood Field. Many trips to Westinghouse Park and Frick Park were ventures of discovery. Later, I worked summers at the A&P Bakery where my mother was employed. The Homewood Public Library on Hamilton Avenue was the place from which we embarked on a streetcar to make our school picnic at Kennywood Park. And, of course, it was from Homewood that I traveled via trolley to Central High School in Oakland. Until then, my world was limited to a place where the place we called Homewood, was truly the only meaning of "home" that I carried in my mind, in my heart, and in my spirit. I am happy to see that many of the children of the Hill District diaspora are developing that same sense of "home" that I remember well. Dean, you rekindled those memories and for that I am thankful!
Great video as always. Philly guy who fell in love with Pittsburgh as I have visited many of the neighborhoods shown in your videos. I agree with the gentleman that said the world needs a little more iCare.
Happened upon your videos and thoroughly enjoyed the series. You picked such wonderful people to interview and your filming was so beautiful. My husband lived in Pittsburgh for about 8 years as a child and always talks about how much he loved it. We are considering a move to your wonderful city and now have some ideas as to where we might fit in and become part of a community. The one good thing about the current state of financial affairs in our country is that it might slow down some of the greedy developers plans! Hope we see you in Pittsburgh!
Thank you so much for making this! My mother passed recently and she was born and raised in Homewood Brushton. She would always tell me stories of her life growing up there. Thank you for showing the humanity and sense of community that Homewood has and not referring to it as a "ghetto" as I've heard other people describe it that way. I grew up in VA, so watching your video of her neighborhood being told in such an authentic and compassionate way, really makes me feel closer to her. I'm really glad I came across your RUclips channel.
My favorite edition of Neighborhoods, yet. This really shines light on Homewood; proof that the area has so many positive things to offer. Thank you for this, Dean! You have MANY fans in NYC!
I remember the Baker Family I went to school with his sons. That store was right down the street from my church. He always had his sons pics on the outside. That was at least 40 years ago.
Construction Junction! Yes!!! I did not know about the Afro-American Music Institute. Thanks for covering that. I see they recently discussed Miles Davis. After watching Birth of Cool I am convinced more than ever that Miles Davis is a musical genius.
I feel like a community or organization of filmmakers can spring from this idea of capturing the life and story of communities all around the US and maybe even the world.
Mr. Baker was a great man I remember going to a shop as a kid and always being greeted with a smile and conversation. He is one of my fondest childhood memories.
Dean Bog, you are doing something very special for Pittsburgh. Your showing connections from community to humanity, and thus filling a void that so many are unaware existed until they see your work. Your laying quite the foundation for an amazing career. We all look forward to what your going to do next. Keep moving people the way you do. I know we will all be watching!
I have such a heart for Homewood, like Wilkinsburg! I walk right through with my camera, so many interesting things in every corner of this city. Too bad you missed out on bbq! I never knew about that bakery though. Great job as always!
Another excellent video. Thanks Dean. I grew up in Pittsburgh / Wilkinsburg, moved away in 1981. Watching these videos reconnects me to the new and the old. Thank you.
I Thank God that this documentary was made. All that was part of the making this video made my heart😍so happy. We had just lost Mr Baker that made my penny candy life heaven he was Family to me and to see how you place everyone just as I remember as a child. Thank You So So Much My only wish was for it to have been longer.😍😍😍You will be missed deeply Mr Baker & Blessings to All Homewood Family😘🌹😍
Homewood ismt home town too and i absolutely love Bakers store❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Mr. Bakers truly missed and i love that, that store is still standing❣❣ If your ever there order a corn beef sandwich with a pickle 😋❤
The memory's oh the memory's this film brought back. I grew up in Belmar Gardens overlooking Homewood in a house my dad built. My dad was was born in the house he grew up in in Homewood. I live in LA now but think abt Homewood all the time. Good work!
Dean you Rock! Your videos are amazing. Makes me miss Pittsburgh so much! I share your videos with others so they can see what makes Pittsburgh so Special. Its the people, the places you capture it all!
I was in Homewood after a concert at The Shop, one time! And the ONE THING I learned about that neighborhood/those neighborhoods, is that they are the MORE NEIGHBORLY people I've ever met!
Dean, what a great story and video production capturing your adventure. The next time I visit my Dad I’ll swing by the Homewood neighborhood to get some of that hospitality. I love that they have grit! These people are true Pittsburghers! Keep the stories coming. I can’t wait to see the series of your revisits in the future.
Pittsburgh native here. I keep a close eye on my notifications for your content. You do such a great job of capturing the spirit of our city. I hope to see you at a bar one day so I can thank you in person and buy you a drink. Keep on keeping on brother!
Listen were the friendliest people you'll ever meet you can walk up to mostly anyone and start a conversation. Philly isn't the City of Brotherly love we are. 412 I LOVE THIS CITY
Hey Dean, you may never see this but I just wanted you to know youre an inspiration to photographers everywhere. You have a way of telling storys that truly is incredible. I keep coming back to this page every few weeks hoping I just missed you releasing a video. You have inspired me to move to pittsburgh. I live nowhere near, nor have I ever been, but you just have a way of making it look truly amazing. Your passion really shows. I look forward to move videos in the future.
This was GREAT..Showing the Neighborhoods in a Positive Light...Props to you, and People like you (James "Ruff-Bone" White) for showing us the integrity of Pittsburgh and surrounding areas...I've been Working in the Middle East (Iraq, Afghanistan, UAE) for the past 14 years...And with Videos like this, I will NEVER be Homesick
Going through another binge of Neighborhoods. Dean, you've really put something incredible together here. You show such love for our city and her people. Hope you're well, hope we hear more from you soon!
Dean, keep doing what you're doing. You're work makes my heart light up and inspires me to do good for the community I live in, even though my neighborhood is outside allegheny county. You've also shown me places I can visit to help inspire my own artwork that I wouldn't have ever known existed if it weren't for you. My fiance and I are going to CJ for our 5 year anniversary date :) thank you Dean. Side note- I would LOVE if you could be my videographer for my wedding next year. Have a great day!
Working for my uncle, I used to drive through Homewood back in the eighties. Along with the well publicized negatives, there was also a lot of life and living going on. Thanks for showing the positive side of a much maligned area.
Premium quality documentary Very well done you have it all. visually beautiful, past, present, humour. I hope others appreciate the hard word that went into making this series
wow, i really admire your ability to highlight the the humanity of these communities! i feel the love from these people, to a point where it started making me tear up a little.
This is so great to see... My family are lifelong residents of Homewood, The Northside, East Liberty and Garfield dating back to the early 1900’s. I’m actually considering moving back to Pittsburgh to help contribute to its revitalization... Great video!
Dude these just keep getting better. Make sure you get down to South Park and see the Bison and animal farm. Also the Vale of Cashmere ruins are one of a kind.
I love love love this series you’re doing. I’ve been a long time Pittsburgh lover my entire life and I only live about 1.5 hours outside the city but I’m constantly there site seeing and soaking in one of my favorite cities since I was really young. I’ve debated moving and planting my roots over that way and your series keeps me thinking that I might want to! You’re such a creative artist, I love it! Also the sugar test is such a great addition!
Dig your neighborhood minis. I'm from Carrick...live in Pleasant Hills now. I'm a singer songwriter, just all around musician. But for a good while, I used to drive for Port Authority. I've seen all kinds of unexpected interesting beauty everywhere I've operated a PAT vehicle. And the people...There's no place else I can imagine living. Pittsburgh has so many layers and history. Thanks for doing this...ur like Sebak Jr. 😎
@@Flowmaster925 that's my freedom of speech. Also, I assumed that watchers are people with IQ higher than that of typical Homewood dwellers. You know what I mean, don't ya?
I'm from Pittsburgh and it's been many years since I've been there .Seeing these videos shows me so much then I knew .I wish you would do more .Are you still doing this work? I would love to see Bellevue and Avalon area .Thank you and I enjoy your humor .God Bless .
I think you should do squirrel hill. Let me know if you do! I’m a Pittsburgh teacher / musician. I have been literally binge watching your vids. Such a great series for the city!!
Thanks Dean...appreciate your time and talent! Your videos are funny and also moving. Keep them coming 🤙🏻 Moved away many years ago. I come back for weddings,funerals and Steelers games.
I am a NATIVE of Homewood Brushton💙 I know we get a bad rap for being a violent place BUT Homewood has a lot of rich history, a lot of BEAUTIFUL people! Shoutout to Mr Baker, Dana’s Bakery, Mr bubbles, PERRYS MARKET, Saliks Hardware,and all of the thriving business who still stand as well as ones we’ve lost! HOMEWOOD for better or for Worst I LOVE YALL
These are such amazing videos. Showing people how their neighbors live. I’ve been fortunate to work in pretty much every neighborhood in the city and have seen the good and the bad of each. But many residents don’t venture too far from what they know. You’re doing a valuable service.
Dean ! I yelled your name out of a black truck today near the Frick clay courts haha. Hope I didn't spook you, I was just hype to see the man himself! Keep killing it brother.
Dean - I havent seen all your videos but this one on Homewood is amazing. You got serious talent and you are honoring the people in this cool city. Im bringing my family from Brooklyn to Pittsburgh for election day to support people in lines waiting to vote: food. chairs, battery charging. I want my kids to see where it really matters and go to an area in PIttsburgh where it is needed. If you have any recommendations on what neighborhoods are more diverse and lines may be longer, please let me know.
You are doing something very important. You are showing us "community" again. Thank you Dean 🙏
agree, there is going to be a rebirth! I see you revered

Dean is a modern-day (indie) Rick Sebak. These short films are time capsules we'll look back on in 50 or a hundred years and appreciate greatly.
@Vic Marrotti I can tell from what I've experienced of Dean in his videos...he genuinely loves people. We all breathe the same air and all bleed red.
Sebak was the man!
Thank you soooo much Dean! Your videos mean so much to residents and people in general here in pgh. Seeing AAMI made me tear up, my parents enrolled me in this program when I was little. I had a ball learning music there!! Thank you!
The sugar test is an amazing addition to the episodes. Love all of them.
True. But the first thought that came to my mind was, how would this turn out if it was a black guy doing that in a white neighborhood.
@@merccadoosis8847 I'd have my money on that neighborhood failing the shit outta the sugar test to say the least.
Gotta say though, if someone who is not your neighbor comes around asking for some sugar I'd be a bit sketched out too. Don't care what brand of person.
So what happened to the bike?
Bobert he’s on his last bike, so he stopped doing it
Another fantastic video. I’ve really come to enjoy this series being a lifelong Pittsburgher. Keep up the good work Dean, the city should be proud to have you doing the work you’re doing. Thank you.
You have a talent for being positive while also being honest. I want to adopt that last lady as my grandma.
You're doing great things, art, story telling and civil justice. Respect man.

This is a wonderful video of a vibrant neighborhood that many do not know. Great vid!🤗
Man thank you so much for displaying Homewood so well.
I’m a Homewood descendant via, mom, grandma, and grandad 😊🙏👍

Long Island here!!
i moved ..lived on Staten island 30 years and love pittsburgh ..
I moved there from nyc - didn' like it
Your welcome sister come on down
Don’t move it’s not worth it, ain’t nothing like NYC, you’re better off moving to a nearby upper state. Trust me. I lived in Pittsburgh for 2 years. 😉
I don’t know how serious you were, but I would definitely listen to a Neighborhoods podcast
Dean, we love all this great Pittsburgh neighborhood content!
I met Mr. Baker once while I was doing some electrical work in homewood. Easily one of the nicest people Ive ever met
Thank you for just showing the good positive part of every neighbor Hood keep up the good work
Dean Bog drops a video. I drop my coffee sit and enjoy 😉
Cookies!

The Ma Rainey movie filmed there over the summer, you guys should check that out when it's released if yinz want to see Homewood on the big screen!
Outstanding! Love these videos Dean. You're killing it buddy
this is truly so inspiring, thank you.
True indeed.
Another nice nice video! I saw your Oakland video and enjoyed that as well. :)
Awh yes!! The Johnson’s, had an opportunity to meet them about a month ago, and wow just great people! Incredible work, keep it up!
wow, i really admire your ability to highlight the the humanity of these communities! i feel the love from these people, to a point where it started making me tear up a little.

I'll be revisiting PGH in the summer and its been wonderful finding your videos and being able to see the city again.
I love the sugar test - did you really go give cookies to everyone who gave you sugar? LOL!
Oh. My. God. My heart just exploded. Homewood is a wonderful community.
Thank you for letting me know more about Pittsburgh.

This was a nice video i grew up close to homewood definitely got alot of good memories as a youngin💯❤
My heart is so full watching this.
those old/new pics are dope reminder as to how far we've really come
Indeed, they show how nice the area was before those racists moved out and the diverse community turned it into "neighborhood".
@@MrSaippua5 wut ?
only racists use the word racist to described stuff
@@Flowmaster925 have you seen the video? It's a quotation.
@@MrSaippua5 why didnt you use quotation marks?
