Walking Bon Air

We began our tour of Bon Air having recently walked its geographic and alphabetical neighbor, Beltzhoover.  This tour was a study in contrasts.  The neighborhood of Bon Air is a pocket of land in the south end, with few entrances or exits by road, and consequently, there is a very apparent distinction at the threshhold [...]

Walking Bluff

We began walking Bluff (a.k.a. Uptown) at the Birmingham Bridge, which overlooks the tight, narrow neighborhood that stretches from Oakland to Downtown.

Walking Bloomfield

We began our tour of Bloomfield on a cold, but clear day at the corner of Liberty Ave. and Main St., which would later turn into a blustery, snowy day, thus initiating our first official walk in the winter snow.

Walking Beltzhoover

With storm clouds having chased us clear out of Beltzhoover for the past two weekends, we swore that on this day, we would do the walk, rain or shine.  It was rain.  We started at the corner of East Warrington and Beltzhoover Avenue, ready for the soggy feet that lay ahead.

Walking Beechview

We started our walk at the Beechview Community War Memorial parklet, which sits between Broadway and Bensonia, at Shiras Ave.

Walking Bedford Dwellings

We started our walk at the juncture between Polish Hill and the Hill District, by the garden at the corner of Bigelow Blvd. and Herron Ave.

Walking Banksville

With the days getting shorter and the sun racing to set, we embarked on what felt like our first true autumn walk.  We started our tour of Banksville at the intersection of Banksville Avenue and Potomac Avenue.

Walking Arlington/Arlington Heights

 
We found ourselves back in the hilltops of Pittsburgh, exploring the neighborhoods of Arlington and Arlington Heights.

Walking Allentown

There’s not a single street in Allentown that lacks an amazing view of our city.

But when the panorama subsides and you get an up-close look at those streets, the view is often changed.
  
Allentown is facing a significant amount of blight, and its footprint is evident throughout the neighborhood.  It also offers a strong feeling of community, as neighbors and [...]

Walking Allegheny West

Armed with our history of Allegheny West and on the lookout for millionaires, we started our walk at the corner of Rope Way and Buttercup Way, which is just a block off West Park.  Buttercup Way is an alley that runs along the back of a row of old Victorians, and its little backyards and green nooks provided a [...]
