Strip District | Pittsburgh, PA

SUBSCRIBE & HIT THE BELL! This is a #walkingtour of the strip district in Pittsburgh, PA.
The #stripdistrict is a neighborhood in #pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a one-half square mile area of land northeast of the central business district bordered to the north by the Allegheny River and to the south by portions of the Hill District. The Strip District runs between 11th and 33rd Streets and includes four main thoroughfares-Railroad Street/Waterfront Place, Smallman Street, Penn Avenue, and Liberty Avenue-as well as various side streets.
Once home to many mills and factories, today the Strip District is home to dozens of tech and robotics companies including a rapidly growing residential population.
Since the late 20th century, the area has developed into a historic market district with many ethnic food purveyors, some art studios, antique dealers, unique boutiques, and other businesses setting up shop where trains once delivered produce by the ton. The lack of weekday activity is in someways compensated by retail and leisure facilities which are used primarily on weekends. Particularly in the summer months, there are open-air farmers' markets, a range of street vendors and facilities to enjoy open air drinks. Residential developers have begun to convert old factory and warehouse buildings into apartments and lofts. Examples include the Armstrong Cork Factory, Brake House Lofts, and the Otto Milk Building.
More recently, the area has attracted a number of technology companies and become a hotbed for autonomous vehicle and robotics technology. The area is home to Uber's Advanced Technology Group, which leads the company's vehicular automation efforts, as well Argo AI and Aurora Innovation. Other technology companies with offices in the Strip District include Apple, Facebook, Robert Bosch GmbH, Target Corporation, Wombat Security, JazzHR, Petuum, and BossaNova Robotics.

It’s cool to see all of the street vendors. We were there in February, so no vendors were out. But it seems like there’s a great community within The Strip.

Cool vid, you caught me off guard in that interview! lol.

The off guard ones tend to be the best 😁

You should make this a walking channel and go to different cities. Play music that also reflects the cities you visit. I like what you did here and can see doing that in other places.

What's a strip district?

[@jamericanyouthtravels1652]

It really is the main market district in downtown Pittsburgh. It has gone through many changes over the years.
