@@DeanBog hey man, Highland Park would be cool to see. Then move on down through those neighborhoods which you might've already have done. East Liberty, Larimer, Morningside, and anyones you haven't done there. Still a lot of "soul" left in those areas, despite the gentrification of parts surrounding Google.
What I love about Sharpsburg is that if you cut out and picked up the entire neighborhood and dropped it into the middle of PA, it would just be any other little PA town. Its really amazing how its so self contained and that you barely notice that downtown is 3 miles down the river.
So glad you did Sharpsburg!! It seems like you get a lot of footage. I would love to see longer videos, even if they are farther apart. You do great work and there's so much to learn about each neighborhood. These videos will be artifacts some day
Thank you! That last bit is perhaps the nicest compliment I've ever received in all seriousness. I suppose I don't want to slow down because there are a lot of neighborhoods to cover. And 10 mins is about all I can manage to put together in a week.
This is awesome I’ve lived in Sharpsburg for all my life (32 years) . Great little neighborhood. So glad you were able to get our boxing gym in here one of the best parts of this town. Also the Sharpsburg Facebook posts, absolutely hilarious some people in that group are just absolutely bat shit crazy so that wasn’t surprising they thought you were a pedophile. Again good stuff
Thank you! I found the boxing gym really cool. If I was a kid growing up there that would be my spot to blow off steam. Yeah the facebook post was certainly funny/upsetting but I can understand the concern.
@@DeanBog my dad started the gym. Thank you for including it. My mom grew up in Sharpsburg, & met my dad there (after a boxing workout). She’s gonna love this video. My grandparents lived their whole life in Sharpsburg.
Dean, The work in all your videos I've viewed is fantastic, even outside of Neighborhoods. You clearly have a wonderful grasp of the art form. It's my hope that you come to realize and accept that what has set your Neighborhoods series apart from the rest of your features is not only your skills with a camera and software, but it is you. YOU are the star, and you are the star because of your ability to make the people you speak with the star of THEIR segment. You grant them comfort, audience and joy in their fifteen seconds of fame. That's the formula that makes these little moments so special. The flip side being that in a world of sensationalist coverage, we'd all gladly pay to see the real, human side of ourselves and our neighbors portrayed on a screen. Unfortunately, the big networks know it. Best wishes!
Really enjoyed this. Moved to Sharpsburg 12 years ago and it seems to get better every year. Also home of award winning Gino Bros. pizza and bar. Dragon Palace.... top notch chines food. and many other little gems.
Thank you. Im bad at covering restaurants but I heard a few folks mention Ginos. Cant eat Chinese food with a peanut allergy unfortunately. Great neighborhood to grab some grub in for sure though.
Very heartwarming doc, Sharpsburg looks beautiful in the Fall! I get so excited for the weekend (specifically Sunday here in the UK) for another one of your videos to drop! Thank you so much for these amazing docs!
So I just discovered you this evening and your videos are amazing! I'm originally from Pittsburgh and I used to live in Dormont and grew up in Squirrel Hill. Now I live in Philly! I loved your videos on Dormont and Sharpsburg and the Port Authority Stories and 30th Street Station here in Philly! Tomorrow I'll check out more of your excellent work! Thanks for sharing your cool talent!!
I spent most of my teens hanging out in Sharpsburg. Going to various band practices, walking the trails, just having a great time. I don't know why your channel was recommended to me today lol But I am beyond happy that it was. Off to watch more! Great job!
Your visuals, your commentary, these videos you've orchestrated are always a treat. You facilitate with a down-to-earth mojo & your interviews are genuine & charming(except for the creepy/eerie guy dahntahn, yall know who I'm referring to, lol) Keep'em coming Dean
Ahh I LOVE Sharpsburg! So glad you did it! Used to work at Deeplocal you mentioned at 9:18, spent some great time exploring the area. Beautiful work as always. Makes me miss the hell outta the place.
I am loving your videos. My son told me to watch, so you have two fans from our family. I would love to see you go to Duck Hollow with your camera..a tiny Pittsburgh neighborhood across the Mon from Homestead.
I'm from the UK, and love Pittsburgh thanks to sports (baseball first, but the NFL is growing on me). I've often thought of moving to Pittsburgh someday and have been watching these with interest. Pittsburgh looks so awesome, but Sharpsburg totally seems like my bag.
If you value anything don't move here. I only wish someone would have warned me. This video is bs. I've lived here for 12 years and I'm telling ya I would rather have every tooth in my mouth pulled and my fingernails extracted than to live another day here. It's like a haunted house. If you make it a week in Sharpsburg without something happening to make you rethink every life choice that lead you here then you're just lying to yourself.
Hey man, I know I'm a bit late to the party on these videos, but if you see this, just want you to know I think you're doing a great job. I'm a Cleveland transplant from the Pittsburgh area originally and being able to watch these neighborhoods videos has not only shed light on many areas I visited when I was younger, but has helped me feel like I'm back in the Burgh. Thank you
As an international who lived in Pittsburgh for five years, and tried to experience many things in that city and merge to the local community of Pittsburgh, I just can say I love your videos. I hope you get enough sponsors to continue your work.
Been waiting since the amazing dahntahn video! Keep up the good work absolutely love the vids its a breath of fresh air really shows how amazing Pittsburgh really is
Hey bro I'm a big historian type and Burgh lover and also love your videos cause I've always loved the different neighborhoods and the uniqueness they have ...I could talk about this stuff all day.. More than a few have told me I should be a tour guide or write books on The Burgh . I've lived in several neighborhoods and walked almost every street in most everyone of the cities neighborhoods and most so called boroughs that really are just as much a part of the Burgh such as Dormont, Carnegie, Crafton, The Rocks, Bellevue, Milvale,Etna, Sharpsburg, Aspinwall, Wilkinsburgh and down the Mon Valley...I know alot of folks like the suburbs but many more like myself love how the neighborhood feel lets you walk to the park or to get coffee or wherever and just be around the people places and feel at one with everything.. I love so many different neighborhoods but if I had to list my favorites I would say Squirrell Hill Shadyside Bloomfield Oakland Mt Washington Brookline And though its actually a borough Bellevue is up there as well .. Along with Dormont and Aspinwall ..
Dang! Thank you for the thorough comment. And the list. So many spots to explore. I grew up in a suburban town so Im also a fan of the city neighborhoods. Good mix of city and suburb feel. I haven't explored enough to have a favorites list but I really love some of the spots on your list.
@@DeanBog East Liberty would def make a great video. There is so much history, and it's currently undergoing gentrification. I feel that it's one of the most extreme cases of gentrification in Pittsburgh.
Make one about Verona aka my home town, super underrated place also along the allegheny... but wait till I make it home so you can interview me lol. As always love the video, can't wait to see what neighborhood is next!!
Don't be sad@@IndexError_. There's many things you can do to get out of a town if it doesn't fit your needs. There's beauty in every town though; all you have to do is see it!
What an amazing video. My mom, Jaye Raffaele, who grew up here, created a group on Facebook-Growing up Sharpsburg. She recently passed away March, and my sister and I maintain the page now.
Im from wilkinsburg moved away in 1978 to Memphis where i still reside love your video's. I appreciate the time and effort you and your camera man or woman puts into it. Thank you for during this!
I lived in Westmoreland County for 30 years and I pass through Sharpsburg on the way to downtown. Sharpsburg is a very old town that's kinda run down but also quiet and peaceful , I've heard bad things about Sharpsburg, but not nearly as bad as the more mundane parts of Pittsburgh. Funny; my company office is in Sharpsburg
I'm originally from L.A. (Lawrenceville Area - 10th Ward), but now reside in the West Wood neighborhood. I recommend you check out (The Historic) West End, just so I could see why they call it "historic".
A great place for you to put down roots young Dean...my niece's family lives there they have a restaurant up north...many of the kids parents lived north of the area in Glenshaw,hard working middle class folks...
Another great! Can you do a segment of what camera gear you use, or if you've made a video of that before, can you share the link? These are fantastic works-of-art!
Lucky, I wanna happen upon you recording some day. To this day I wish to live in Sharps after dating someone from there. It was a nice area that held small fests during the summer. Such a nice small area. I loved it. I loved the small shopping area too.
Dope. I'm from Philly and your documentations of Pittsburgh are fascinating to me. Always been curious about the city always comparing and contrasting and what I've found the most intriguing is how old the neighborhoods look and how the citizens still take pride in the original neighborhood names. Philly has a few old looking areas but they are old from either a poor or rich aesthetic. For a big city Pittsburgh neighborhoods have a very rural gritty almost Boston like feel to them. I'd love to visit.
I'm currently looking to move to Pittsburgh, and I've been watching Dean's videos to get a feel for each neighborhood. As soon as that woman started hollering about concerned mothers looking out for 'that pedophile with a ponytail', I ruled out Sharpsburg.
When you went in the municipal building you legally do not have to turn off your camera, it is a public building and there is no expectation of privacy in public, hold people like that accountable. The constitution trumps local policy.
Damn thats intense. I try to be polite with the camera, so I was happy to oblige his request. Thats sort of what the whole issue was about. People being comfortable/uncomfortable with cameras.
Sharpsburg's most famous venue, was the Crow's Nest Restaurant/Bar on the Water. Having moved to NC, do not know if it's still there or called something different. Reply's welcome.
There's a whole group of black and white stray cats that live in the weeds by the industrial remnants along the river. Cool seeing our neighbor neighborhood 😁
I grew up in Sharpsburg in the 80s and it was a great little town. My parents still live there. I ended up buying a house two doors down from my parents after I got married but the reason I moved out is the parking sucked.
@@DeanBog we stop at Brother Tom's, great little bakery/eatery once and awhile. We either eat there or some other little family owned hole in the wall my dad knows about that I never knew existed from his time as a phone repair tech
I already gave him a huge spill on Aspinwall with my comment a few days ago. Strange, but I've read about 2 other comments mentioning Aspinwall, I don't think there is a better place in Pittsburgh then this community. Welcome to Aspinwall btw, I've been here around 21 years and obviously, you never get tired of it. Make sure you get on the Reverse 911 list here in Aspinwall, they send updates to your phone on current events going on in the neighborhood. 😀
@Dean Bog I'm a UK citizen and live in Sheffield - The original steel city :) I love your videos and have recently developed a strong interest in Sheffield's twin city Pittsburgh - Currently saving to visit!

DUDE< LOL. At :36 that's my Barber Tony 👍 I've been getting my haircut from him for 21 years now. Great Barber, obviously. I live in Aspinwall , and I've had this same apt for 20 years. I hope you decide to do Aspinwall, this is one of the nicest communities in Pittsburgh, and even people who don't live here will say that. You seldom see anyone leave Aspinwall. We have a lot of young professional married people who buy starter homes, and when they move, they just buy a larger home and stay here. I've seen that happen so often. We also have a Park by the river that is improving year to year. It even has some food vendors who are there certain days of the week, plus we have some awesome restaurants. It's not a cheap place to buy a home, most are close to $300,000 and above, unless it needs something, and rent is high, but you get a VERY clean community and one where you can walk around at 2 am and you wouldn't have a thing to worry about. 😀.
@@DeanBog So you've been here.😊 Well, I guess it was quite the pitch. Haha. But you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't have a positive outlook on this town. One of our Dr's at the Hosp I work at, who also lives here called it Mayberry. That's after an old show on TV. 😂
I know this is a year old but when it's no longer COVID times you should check out the Crafton/Carnegie side of things! Carnegie especially is a really cute area.
Dean. I got a great idea. Do Jeannette pa and Latrobe. Soooo much history !!! First professional football game played in Latrobe. Arnold Palmer. Rolling rock. In Jeannette you have the largest glass producer in USA back i. Day. Town is beat up. Prolly could use some help. Down town is building up.
Sharpsburg use to have a pretty thriving little Main Street. Played baseball at the Henry Miller baseball Field. How can have a video about Sharpsburg and omit the main things of Sharpsburg. lol
Dean Bog Yeah! There’s a lot going on in Bellevue all of a sudden. We have a new brewery on Lincoln Ave that’s run by a local family and is doing really well (they have amazing homemade pretzels). There’s some really cool trails at the Bellevue Memorial Park along with a dog park. A solid diner option called the Dairy Villa on the ave. A restaurant called Revival that’s relatively new, it used to be a funeral home and then a seasonal haunted house for a few years until the building really started falling apart, the new owners (The King family) really did a great job fixing it up. Our haunted library is always fun to spend some time in and the surrounding park finally got some much needed upgrades. TheThe houses in Bellevue, like most Pittsburgh neighborhoods have so many different types of architecture to admire. A few very pretty churches and we even have a small set of city steps that connect Forest Ave. and Summit Ave., they’re not very impressive but they’re still charming. (Worth mentioning that theres a really old graveyard at the end of the street at the top of those steps)
How far outside the city are you covering? Is Sharpsburg technically part of Pittsburgh? I thought it was its own thing. Great video either way - keep up the good work!
That first guy you interviewed has an amazing Pittsburgh accent
AHHH THATS ME GETTING INTERVIEWED!!!!!
Ayo! Bummed I missed ya at the gym but dang what a cool spot. Thanks for the recommendation.

Pretty cool, I worked in the maintenance department for the old scrap yard where you were filming. I spent a lot of time working on those old cranes.

Don’t listen to these internet weirdos, Pittsburgh is the most livable city for a reason. Some people are just plain miserable.
@@bonnevillebagger9147 I wasn't talking about Pittsburgh I was talking about sharpsburg
Mmm Deano, maybe my favorite one so far. Really beautiful atmosphere created throughout.
Gosh it is always such a relief/joy to find you in the comments. Sharpsburg is a very moody neighborhood so I was trying to match that atmosphere.
Imagine my joy when a friend says he watched these videos and I got to tell him I know the legendary Dean bog

Not the Sharpsburg I grew up in, but I have been gone a long time glad somethings are improving Thanks for doing this
You're welcome. People seem to be doing well.
It hasn't improved at all. I am still stuck in this dump and it's only gotten worse. My guess is someone paid this dude to film absolute bull shit.

I grew up in Sharpsburg in the 80s and it was a great little town. My parents still live there. I ended up buying a house two doors down from my parents after I got married but the reason I moved out is the parking sucked.
My dad lives up in O'Hara, so I drive thru Sharpsburg a lot.
Not a bad place to drive thru. You should stop off for some grub!
@@DeanBog we stop at Brother Tom's, great little bakery/eatery once and awhile. We either eat there or some other little family owned hole in the wall my dad knows about that I never knew existed from his time as a phone repair tech
may i please ask, where do you find this wonderful music you use in your videos? I feel so at ease and like im at home with this music in your videos!
The strip district would be cool. I'm from ct. But have fallen in love with pittsburgh. Keep up the great work.
Come to Aspinwall! My husband and I have been living here for 6 months, and we have fallen in love with its charm!
I already gave him a huge spill on Aspinwall with my comment a few days ago. Strange, but I've read about 2 other comments mentioning Aspinwall, I don't think there is a better place in Pittsburgh then this community.
Welcome to Aspinwall btw, I've been here around 21 years and obviously, you never get tired of it.
Make sure you get on the Reverse 911 list here in Aspinwall, they send updates to your phone on current events going on in the neighborhood. 😀
Fellow awall resident 👋🏼
This is where I lived when I first moved up here I loved it thinking about moving back
That gentleman at 1:30 is peak Pittsburgh.
Great vlog hommie.keep it up!!!!!
Love sharpsburg. What's up with that cop? Seriously! You weren't even on camera dude. Calm down!
I can understand why he didnt wanna be filmed. I sort of barged into their office with a camera. He was a nice guy.
@Dean Bog I'm a UK citizen and live in Sheffield - The original steel city :) I love your videos and have recently developed a strong interest in Sheffield's twin city Pittsburgh - Currently saving to visit! AFIK nothing similar you've done documenting Pittsburgh has ever happened here in Sheffield. Your idea is clear, simple, unique and your videos are professionally narrated and presented - skills unfortunately I don't posses. I know you like to travel and so if ever you come over to UK please please get in touch!
DUDE< LOL. At :36 that's my Barber Tony 👍 I've been getting my haircut from him for 21 years now. Great Barber, obviously.
I live in Aspinwall , and I've had this same apt for 20 years. I hope you decide to do Aspinwall, this is one of the nicest communities in Pittsburgh, and even people who don't live here will say that.
You seldom see anyone leave Aspinwall. We have a lot of young professional married people who buy starter homes, and when they move, they just buy a larger home and stay here. I've seen that happen so often.
We also have a Park by the river that is improving year to year. It even has some food vendors who are there certain days of the week, plus we have some awesome restaurants. It's not a cheap place to buy a home, most are close to $300,000 and above, unless it needs something, and rent is high, but you get a VERY clean community and one where you can walk around at 2 am and you wouldn't have a thing to worry about. 😀.
That is quite the pitch haha. I must say, the wooden chairs at the back of the park by the river make for a great summer sunset spot.
@@DeanBog So you've been here.😊
Well, I guess it was quite the pitch. Haha. But you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't have a positive outlook on this town. One of our Dr's at the Hosp I work at, who also lives here called it Mayberry. That's after an old show on TV. 😂
I know this is a year old but when it's no longer COVID times you should check out the Crafton/Carnegie side of things! Carnegie especially is a really cute area.
Yay!!! Thanks Dean!
You are welcome :)
Should check out Troy Hill and Washington landing.
I hope you do squirrel hill soon!
I got pics of my dad with Bruno samartino in that gym.
Kristin Gallo he was my favorite wrestler when I was a teenager. R.I.P. living legend
would love to see those pictures
Dean you need way more views and subscribers. You're great at shooting/editing stuff. Do an episode on Millvale tho
I'm from just north past new Kensington. I go down to Pittsburgh all the time and explore
Dean. I got a great idea. Do Jeannette pa and Latrobe. Soooo much history !!! First professional football game played in Latrobe. Arnold Palmer. Rolling rock. In Jeannette you have the largest glass producer in USA back i. Day. Town is beat up. Prolly could use some help. Down town is building up.
Sharpsburg use to have a pretty thriving little Main Street. Played baseball at the Henry Miller baseball Field. How can have
a video about Sharpsburg and omit the main things of Sharpsburg. lol
You should come to aliquippa.
Yes! New video! 🙌🏼
Do Bellevue
What going on in Bellevue?
Dean Bog Yeah! There’s a lot going on in Bellevue all of a sudden. We have a new brewery on Lincoln Ave that’s run by a local family and is doing really well (they have amazing homemade pretzels). There’s some really cool trails at the Bellevue Memorial Park along with a dog park. A solid diner option called the Dairy Villa on the ave. A restaurant called Revival that’s relatively new, it used to be a funeral home and then a seasonal haunted house for a few years until the building really started falling apart, the new owners (The King family) really did a great job fixing it up. Our haunted library is always fun to spend some time in and the surrounding park finally got some much needed upgrades. TheThe houses in Bellevue, like most Pittsburgh neighborhoods have so many different types of architecture to admire. A few very pretty churches and we even have a small set of city steps that connect Forest Ave. and Summit Ave., they’re not very impressive but they’re still charming. (Worth mentioning that theres a really old graveyard at the end of the street at the top of those steps)
How far outside the city are you covering? Is Sharpsburg technically part of Pittsburgh? I thought it was its own thing. Great video either way - keep up the good work!
Cool vid man, do some neighborhoods on the west side
Great videos man! I commute by bike everyday and pretty much have been all over town! If you need a riding buddy Id be down to roll with ya!
great stuff as usual
Hey man I live out in Castle Shannon you should come out an interview my friends an I
Just discovered you and am loving your videos. Very nice work! Are you thinking about Troy Hill at all? I lived there for several years and loved it.
Nice
