Southside PA

I love where I live. Every morning, there are native
Southside-ians, up at the crack of dawn, sweeping the sidewalks and having a good ‘ol IronCity beer on their stoop. Throughout the day, I see people of all ages, walking their dogs, washing their cars, painting, selling produce, and riding bikes. Every night, there are parties, celebrating anything, at bars and homes, on decks and on the street. Yet,= everyone lives in harmony, with this specific understanding of one another; those who are old respect the joy of the youth, and those who are young respect the experiences of their elders.

When in the Southside, you know what to expect—everything. Every type of person, age, race, religion, gender, all unite here and express their art by singing on the streets, painting murals, wearing crazy clothes or hair, driving hand painted cars. It’s probably one of the only places you can see the Amish, a punk rocker, a homeless guy, and an old woman within a few feet of one another.
It has been described as a miniature Bourbon Street because it has more than 80 bars in 15 blocks. But, if you visit, you can’t miss all of the tattoo parlors, all night restaurants, atm’s, art and live music venues, hookah bars, and bike trails.
There is even an event called Southside Walk, which is kind of a self-tour of the AMAZING architecture throughout the whole area. Seriously, every time I take a walk, I see something more, different, and wonderful. Roof top decks, houses that look like castles, amusement rides in back yards… I kid you not.

I hope some of this has INSPIRED you to take a walk through Southside Pittsburgh. It’s open and has activities, 24-7. Pick a day. Maybe I’ll see you around!


Love & Happiness,
