Inside Steel City - What It Really Looks Like 🇺🇸

Once one of the wealthiest places in America, with more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the world, Pittsburgh was responsible for building up so much of the country. Today, Pittsburgh's population is almost half of what it was in the glory days. Steel City is no longer dominant in steel production. But a reinvention took hold, and the local pride never left. Join me and the locals to learn about Pittsburgh's dramatic changes that have led to decay and renewal.

As a 39 year veteran truck driver who's been to 47 of the 48 contiguous states i contend Pittsburgh has the most dramatic entrance of any metro area in the U.S. Approaching from the south going north on I-376 you enter a tunnel that goes through a hill and under a neighborhood. When you exit the tunnel on the north end, POW! You're on the Fort Pitt Bridge with the beautiful skyline before you and 3 Rivers Stadium on your left.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh and I can confidently say after traveling the country that Pittsburgh is a gem. The natural beauty of the appalachians mixed perfectly with the city and three rivers.

The way he casually offered work to that guy at the end was awesome.

Visited Pittsburgh for the first time in July 24. Originally from Glasgow Scotland and felt immediately at home, has that post industrial charm of an underdog city. I’ve been to a lot of major cities in the US and got to say Pittsburgh is my favourite and it’s not even close. The people, the pride, the warmth. To me it’s the only real city I’ve visited in the US in the last 8 years. Can’t wait to see what the future brings for it and can’t wait to come back. A total gem of a place.

Pittsburgh native here. Thanks for coming to our city. Like every other city, we’ve been through booms and busts but in the end I think the real story of Pittsburgh is our resilience and our ability to adapt. We embody the American spirit, a true melting pot.

Peter, if you ever come back this way and need a guide, I’d love to show you some of the historic places and people that made this city what it is.

Thanks again!

As a german, I have stayed a few days in Piitsburgh this April. It is a nice city to stay it. All the people were so friendly and kind. I really enjoyed it.

"It's all in the power of the camera and the editor too. Of the story they wanna show" THIS. Absolutely this.

Was in Pittsburgh last year and was amazed how clean the downtown was. Everyone was friendly. Wonderful place

This man is a gem. Real honest man you can tell. I pray for his health

Been here 20 years. Bought my city view cliff house for 48k and worked for 10 yrs to rehab it. Sitting here now enjoying my beautiful oasis

This is the Peter Santenello style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, taking risks in conflict areas to tell a powerful story ... Keep up the amazing work, Peter! 👍👍👍

[zperino]

What a great unfiltered way of showing our beautiful Pittsburgh, while its a historic and somewhat troubling times, our future is bright! Appreciate your videos like always Peter!

I’m moving to Pittsburgh in a month. My mother was born there in 1941 and left in the late 50s for SoCal where I grew up. So I’m literally moving back to the “Motherland.”

[sarahlewis]

I grew up in Pittsburgh 88-06 and it's crazy how much has stayed the same. It's an amazing city

[Mechellmc]

Peter! YES!

My husband and I moved to Pittsburgh a few years ago, and we've truly fallen in love with the city. After exploring other places, we chose to buy a home in the War Streets/Northside to plant our roots and invest in this vibrant community because nowhere else felt quite like home. Having lived in various places, we find Pittsburgh incredibly special with its kind people (think Midwest kindness), amazing food scene, reasonable cost of living, vibrant art and music scene, and endless activities. We're proud and excited to be part of this wonderful city and call it home!

brian was the perfect person to meet up with…. What a wonderful man. We need more Brians like him.

Many people, especially Americans on the coasts, have no idea how awesome some of the architecture is in cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and St. Louis. All former water cities, before railroads and highways. Of course Chicago then officially become the hub of the middle part of the country.

[justinlandis]

I grew up in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania summer sky with the big huge clouds is so beautiful juxtaposed with the red brick architecture and green trees. It is something special that doesn't quite look like anywhere else.

It's hard to express but after you leave PA and come back you can see how the sun hits objects in a particular way. Colors look different, and richer for some reason. i sound like a lunatic but i swear it's true.

The guide in this video is fantastic!

I was in Pittsburgh a few weeks back to go see the Pirates play at PNC Park. There was something very "big city, community oriented" about Pittsburgh that I admire. Whenever you went to the restaurants or shops, there was a great mix of different people of many backgrounds working with one another like they are also neighbors. You don't see that in many major cities nowadays. Then you have to wonder why the city really is the home of Mr. Fred Rogers. Really a city worth witnessing!
