Use code CityCast 15 for 15% off any event.

This is CityCast Pittsburgh.

I'm Megan Harris and here's what Pittsburgh's talking about.

What is Y'all's favorite thing about Pittsburgh?

Oh, good question.

Oh, man, there's so many things.

This is not something that I expect either of our wonderful producers, Sophia Lowe and

Mallory flock to answer at least not yet, but it is something that we have been asking

a lot of you for a few weeks now because we are celebrating our first 1,000 episodes.

Woohoo.

Yeah.

I know.

Same first 1,000 like trips my brain up and I'm like, yeah, why not?

We're here to party and we're collecting a thousand reasons that people love or should

love Pittsburgh.

And we want to talk about them today.

Yeah, it's been really fun.

So we've been collecting some responses at some of our in-person events like the connection

expo on the south side a few weeks ago and our members events with our neighbors and

people are just so excited about this project.

Yes.

And we've been collecting them in Pittsburgh themed shoe boxes.

Sophia made replica deppies out of clay, including one with a party hat.

So you'll...

I did a scar for one.

That one's my favorite.

I was really excited to find some loose ribbon.

Yes.

So you should definitely come to our upcoming event celebrating a 4 1 2 day on April 12th.

We'll talk about that in a little bit.

But if you want to actually like submit something you love about the city in person in one

of these shoe boxes, that's going to be your best bet.

And I'm surprised people have good handwriting because I transcribed them all and for the

most part had no issues.

I mean, truly shout out to our neighbors here because I feel like they are always up for

a ridiculous game and one that celebrates or in some cases sort of pokes fun at the city

we live in.

The response is truly do run the gamut.

We thought it would be fun to talk about them here today because Sophia transcribed them

and I every feud, I think all of them, although we're getting a trickle, but Mallory, Mallory

is fresh.

Fresh years, fresh eyes has no idea what Yens came to brag about.

I'm expecting at least one titty Sphinx reference, but we'll see if I'm right.

Mallory, I'm going to spoil this one for you right now.

No one's mentioned the titty Sphinx yet.

Is that yours?

Is that one thing you are proud of here at Fitzfair?

I mean, it's really up there.

It's not even the titty Sphinx itself.

It's the fact that the titty Sphinx became like the symbol of Pittsburgh.

How much we embraced it, I think speaks volumes about how great we are as a people.

This is of course a mausoleum over an Allegheny cemetery and I agree with you.

I think I actually think you're going to find a down mausoleum, a pair of them actually,

a pair of a pair.

But Mallory, I think you're going to catch on to that spirit is something that a lot of

people captured, no matter what their specific answer was.

Excellent.

Oh, 100% to that, Megan.

And we're still looking for ideas like this is really just the beginning.

You can use the form on our website, that's Pittsburgh dot citycast dot FM or there's

a form in our newsletter this morning, submit your ideas there.

But if you want the chance to win something for telling us what you love, you need to be

commenting on our Instagram post at citycast PG H. And if you comment on our Instagram

post, you get a chance to take home $1,000 in gift cards.

And all of that is going to our favorite Pittsburgh places.

We love supporting our local businesses here too.

Yeah.

And this contest is going to run for two weeks.

You need to follow us.

Many of you already do like the post.

So it's already up now and comment something that you love about Pittsburgh.

You can be a specific and weird as you want to.

Some of y'all clearly already got that memo, but a lot of them are pretty general, but

that doesn't mean it's not amazing.

Like tell us anything you love.

Yeah.

So might as well enter the contest because if you're going to tell us what you love, might

as well maybe get some nice gift certificates out of it.

And then at the end of this, we're going to collect what everybody's submitted and share

the thousand, thousand plus however much we get things that make Pittsburgh so special

that you all love about our fair city.

Yeah.

So let's jump in and Mallory, I think we're going to run through some of these in themes

because there are definitely some heavy hitters on this list.

So first up, arts and cultural institutions and even a few events.

Yes.

So obviously people were shouting out our museum scenes like the Carnegie Museums fantastic.

One of my favorites as well, FIPS, just generally our local or a music scene.

I think we've got so many great small venues.

People also like public art.

My personal favorite out of all of these was the North Side fart graffiti.

Please send me your favorite graffiti artist and where they are.

That has been delightful.

I also want to know where the North Side fart graffiti is.

I lived in the North Side for a long time.

I actually am not sure what they're talking about.

Also does it say fart or is it like a poof that looks like a fart?

What exactly is this graffiti?

I don't know and I've specifically not Googled it because now I want to go find it in the

wild.

This is when I actually asked my partner what he would say his favorite thing about Pittsburgh

is as somebody who, you know, unlike me did not grow up here as newer to the city.

And he said the cultural institution specifically downtown, like how we are this sort of humble

mid-sized city.

But then you can step into these theaters with like chandeliers and that look extremely

fancy and intricate and see really great shows there that we just the way we kind of punch

above our weight when it comes to the arts and particularly these physical spaces.

Well, it's funny you mentioned that Mallory because we should also shout out that a lot

of this project is sponsored by the Cultural Trust where a lot of those institutions actually

are.

So we're very, very grateful.

They will be picking a few things that we love.

We wanted to invite them to do that because I mean, they got all the nice stuff in the

golden triangle.

So we want to see what it is that they are most proud about about Pittsburgh.

So it has been, did not know that when he identified that as his favorite thing.

That's true.

But shout out truly to the Cultural Trust because they are making at least a piece of this

possible.

So the public art though, like the painted dinos got a mention, which I assume are the

ones on the bridge, which technically might be geese according to contributor Colin

Williams.

Oh, no, I don't think that's what they meant.

No, the painted dinosaurs like all over like there's a bunch downtown, for example,

and things you place the, I think they're stegasauruses.

There's one across from the museum too.

Yeah, exactly.

And there's another one in Southside that's like a T-Rex dressed as Mr. Rogers.

I assume that's what they mean.

If you wrote this, you let us know which one you were talking about.

And clearly, we have now learned there's a lot of painted dinosaurs around the city.

Another one that got a shout out was Festivals, like the annual Paton Katon that happens in

Chenle Park, which I feel like is always a guaranteed slight rain if not an absolute

torrential downpour, but that only makes it more fun.

Yeah, I really want to get to that this year.

So someone shouted out the Balafon West African Dance Ensemble.

That was completely new to me.

I checked out their website.

They look so cool.

So I love that.

I'm also learning new things from this whole little game.

Yes.

Also institutions, you know, like organizations, nonprofits, things like that got some shout

outs.

Mallory, this one sent me someone shouted out public schools in Pittsburgh.

I love that public school pride.

That warms my heart as a former education reporter.

Many public schools and the teacher dedication to students of all abilities.

So I think that part's really important to that we have a community that's able to like

cater to diverse needs and all sorts of students and like work on their learning.

Yeah.

The teachers got some love also the crossing guards, like the crossing guard program where

like someone in the neighborhood becomes like the known trusted person to keep the cars

at bay for the littles that are crossing the road.

I love the crossing guards too, but I don't even go to school.

It's just some of my morning walks.

They're so friendly.

What they're friendly to the kids.

They're sometimes aggressive to the adults, but that is the energy I want, honestly.

Well, they always have a nice little wave for my dog when I'm walking her.

And I did.

I believe this submission was from someone at our member event because I remember having

a conversation where I was surprised to learn that like not every community has crossing

guards in this way.

I thought it was just standard.

I think some of its neighborhood and school community specific, but love that they're

getting some love here.

We'll save some of the specific organizations for a future episode, but there's a lot of

love here.

Keep them coming.

Next up, we're going to move on to nature parks, specifically trees.

Someone just sent us an all caps trees.

I mean, if you love the trees, you love the trees.

Mallory, do you want to take a guess at what parks people love?

Yes, there were three that got shattered out by name so far.

What do you think it is?

Okay.

So, Frick.

Yep.

Because I mean, that's the biggest, right?

That's our city's biggest park.

So there's so many touch points.

This is always like a point of contention on our team, but I think you're right.

There's just, it touches multiple neighborhoods.

There's a lot of different trail entrances like you can be in different parts of the city

and find yourself at Frick.

True.

Shanley, I would imagine.

Yep.

Bingo.

Okay.

And then I'm going to say, Allegheny Commons.

No.

Thanks for familiarity.

What's one that your dog might know well?

That's got to be Highland Park.

We've heard a lot about the family walks.

The Highland Park tennis courts specifically got shouted out.

Interesting.

This is not a park space specifically, but the trail that runs along Western Penitentiary.

Someone's shouted out the cats by the trail.

There's like cat, how, can you call it a cat house?

There's homes for kitty cats like wild cats over there.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

There's like a space for like kayaks and canoes and someone has built cat how I can't,

I can't, I don't know how to say.

There are homes for cat, trail cats.

Yes.

Cat shelter.

Thank you.

That I 100% agree with double topping that.

Now that I know like this wasn't just like a loose cat that roams around, which is what

I thought.

No, it's not like, I mean, maybe it is the specific cats.

I don't know their personalities, but like there are groups of people that have taken

upon themselves to care for these animals and I love it.

We also got a recommendation, like a shout out for geese, city geese, the geese that

fly over from the Allegheny cemetery minus the poop, I guess props to you because I'm scared

of those geese.

They are too familiar with humans and do not get out of the way.

This was why my guess was Allegheny comments for one of the most popular parks because

I think there's something about like the geese that float on the water there that make

you feel like you're in a European country.

Is that what you're geese in Europe?

Am I inventing this animals?

I mean, they're all over the North Shore, they're all over the South side like where the

boat inputs are by the dog park, but I just, I think it's so funny that they're like

minus the poop because you cannot divorce the goose from the poop, but that's part of

the animal.

Can't have the sweet without the sour, as they say.

Today's show is supported by the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.

Think about the last time you walk into a library.

Maybe you were picking up your next great read, bringing your child to story time, studying

for a test, or just looking for a quiet place to focus.

In Pittsburgh, a lot of great stories start at the library.

At Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, people of all ages come to read, learn, and discover

something new.

communities grow.

So mark your calendar for April 1st, donate at Carnegie Library dot org slash give.

That's Carnegie Library dot org slash give to support Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

on library giving day.

Today's show is supported by the Westmoreland Museum of American Art, and their upcoming

floral exhibit are in bloom.

The Westmoreland's been on my list for a while, and I think that this exhibition is going

to be such a fun introduction to the space.

I am so excited to see how the curatorial team setting up art in bloom.

There's going to be these elaborate creations from floral designers who are all taking inspiration

from the art the Westmoreland has on display.

And you can vote for your favorite floral design in the People's Choice Awards, sign up

colors and all the pretty sets.

And missions $10 for nonmembers March 25th through 28th and totally free on the final

day of the show March 29th.

Advance registration for all days is recommended to register or learn more visit thewestmoreland.org.

Okay, so 1,000 things we're rolling through what we've gotten so far.

It's really been such a trip to like read through these, even though we're really at the

beginning of this journey.

We got a lot of them for small businesses, which I love to see it.

It's so nice, especially restaurants.

Oh, yes.

So restaurants, people specifically shouted out, and core restaurant, cop out parogies,

the mushroom tart at five points, like the bakery, five points bakery.

Yeah.

I don't know any other five points.

I've had their like sweet treats, but now I got to get this mushroom tart.

Someone just wrote the breakfast food scene, which I appreciate, but for food specifically,

I am personally requesting everyone gets very, very detailed.

So I know what to order when I get there.

Yes, we want the most hyper specific recommendations.

You can send our way for food and otherwise.

Yeah, we got some for bookstores, for thrift shops in particular, a shout out for the red

white and blue, just like as a brand, which I find fun.

Yeah, they have good stuff.

And someone also shouted out pensies, which I know is technically national, but, you know,

they smell really good every time I walk in.

So there is one in Pittsburgh.

There is one of the strip district.

Yeah, and a fairly political brand, too.

So, you know, love for that.

It seems we got a few for just mentioning like kind of general generic things for Pittsburgh

quality of life, which on its face, I was a little, I didn't know where this was going

to go.

But, you know, it kind of hit like the big themes we hear about here, like affordability,

which we fuss about all the time.

But I can see if you are moving from a different city, perhaps we seem much more affordable

to you.

And I respect that.

And something I noticed that kind of falls under quality of life is just sort of like

the space and size of our city.

Like, I think Mallory, your husband sort of touched on this when he was hyping up all

of our cultural institutions.

Like, we have these big city amenities, even though we're pretty small.

Like, a lot of people wrote in about how it is a city that's big enough.

And you can always find something to do, but small enough for familiarity that you're

going to be running into people, you know, on the streets.

And I've also felt that this is really true.

Yeah.

Kind of that like city with a small town feel vibe, which is a way I just grabbed Pittsburgh

a lot.

Yeah.

I mean, we are 55 square miles, which is like tiny compared to most cities that grew by

like annexing other surrounding communities in Pennsylvania, does not work like that.

So we remain quite small.

It also means our population is pretty small by comparison, but like our region, the way

people claim Pittsburgh feels different.

Yeah.

And I think sort of fitting into this too, somebody said we're not pretentious, which

I really like.

I like that I don't have to like dress fancy to go out or like feel like I need to put

on a certain like face or persona, like I'll roll up on there, everyone else has done

the exact same thing.

Yeah.

People here don't try too hard, which I really appreciate.

And I feel like that's like even gotten more true in the 12 plus years that I've been

here.

Like it just, it seems like we're all getting even more relaxed with our ish.

And I like it.

I'm very much in favor of this.

That might be a little bit of a COVID-making people stop wearing the hard pants thing.

I wonder if that's an actual trend or if I just go to DC and everyone's running around

like business casual, even after hours, and I'm there in a graphic t-shirt, I mean,

I love what I'm wearing, but I just hate that vibe.

Yeah.

I mean, I feel like there's lots, there's lots of business casual, still a foot in

Pittsburgh, especially downtown, but it's, I feel like we're all a little bit more flexible

about what, about like streetwear, if you will.

I also want to shout out something that I think speaks to what we do here at CityCast,

which is that there's always something to do here in Pittsburgh, you know, we talk about

events and ways to get out and engage with your community a lot.

So love to see it, love to see this on the list.

And then so many people also picked landmarks, views, and architecture as their favorite

thing about Pittsburgh.

Yeah.

So so many votes.

I'm looking forward to telling it when this is all said and done for the view out of the

Fort Pit tunnel.

And you're right.

Everyone of you that wrote that in, you're right, that is special.

That makes us extra cool.

Yeah.

And I mean, in general, our skyline is so incredible and I do feel like when people come

to visit, like people are always like Pittsburgh way prettier than I thought, nicer than I thought.

And I think when they're coming from the airport, like coming through and seeing that view

and our skyline in general, it's just like the perfect way to welcome people and convince

them that we're not the polluted dump of yesterday.

Which is apparently what is still in people's minds because like you get that sense that

like it's, it's a surprise that we're nice every time.

People shout it out, driving by the rivers and all the houses on the hills.

Our skyline generally, of course, the yellow bridges, specifically the yellow ones, sorry

about it to the black and the blue ones, I guess, the view specifically from PNC Park,

which correct.

I mean, I feel like we don't, we don't worry about all the time.

Yes.

And again, looking at our skyline.

And it's also important to have that great view because, you know, the team isn't bringing

people to the stadium.

The view and maybe the renegade dog is, I feel like our entertainment at the PNC Park

is actually legit.

It's my longstanding theory that the worse the team, the better the in-game entertainment

there was a, there were writings for the inclines are very old, sometimes functional inclines

and a ton for neighborhoods that they are eclectic and walkable, that there's solidarity

among them that they can feel really diverse from neighborhood to neighborhood that they

are cozy or cute.

And just that like each one of them often has its own vibe, all of which I think we endorse

here.

I remember when I moved to El Paso, Texas and was trying to orient myself and I was trying

to like use neighborhoods as my guide because that's what you do here in Pittsburgh.

And it was like, well, there's the West Side and the East Side.

And it didn't compute, like I couldn't figure out how to understand a place without all

of the little distinct neighborhoods with their own personalities that everyone strongly

defines themselves by, like just having two sides of town didn't work for my brain.

That's funny.

I feel like I had the reverse effects where like it took me a minute moving here to get

used to that.

But the more I got, the more I did and learned them, the more I loved it.

We got a few writing in positively about Pittsburgh transportation.

That one shocked me.

Well, like bike transit and that kind of stuff.

They're not like rooting on our buses.

I mean, I love that we have the buses.

They could be so much better.

Not top.

It does not make my top 10.

Yeah.

I did.

I did go back to it.

I was like, it's no one.

I don't believe it that anyone wrote anything positive about the bus system.

I'm sorry, PRT, but it's not been your year for good press.

Unfortunately.

So it was more like good bike land infrastructure and walkability, especially like downtown

in the golden triangle, trains.

People really love our T stations, even that like we don't have many of them, but people

really feel strongly about liking them.

Somebody's comment was, and I'm quoting here, the fact that you can't get from point A to

point B ever, even if you can see point B.

So maybe some people just like a challenge, which I would encourage if you're thinking

about submitting something, it can be something that's actually really annoying, but you love

deep down like the annoying cousin who has their flaws, but their family.

I mean, I do think there's something to like our weird geography where you can see your

destination, but you just can't get to it.

Like that is extremely unique Pittsburgh phenomenon.

And you know, I think in this category too, some people wrote in with a little sarcasm

because somebody wrote in about how they love getting their car stuck in sinkholes and

potholes, but they included a little car drawing.

So that was fun.

Yeah.

That's the benefit of a hand submitted ones into our shoe boxes.

If you see us out in an event, I also like another, I assume joke.

I assume this is a joke when I didn't see the person submit it.

Good place, meaning city, Pittsburgh.

Good place to hide from law enforcement.

Don't know what you did, my guy, but like kind of love that you think of us that way.

And you know, we touched on PNC Park, but a lot of people had things to say about sports

and city traditions surrounding that.

So not as many as I would have thought though, like the sports thing was like fairly low

on the list, like as a theme.

Well, someone shot out the parogi race, which is my favorite competitive sport in the city.

That's why I go see the pirates, I guess, really there for jalapeno Hannah.

One of them did say watching the pirates lose, like that's one of their favorite things

about Pittsburgh.

On a summer day, the city smelling like hot dogs, the insers yelling and the joy of watching

the pirates lose.

This is the level of specificity we're looking for people.

And it's also okay if what you love might make you enemies, that kind of actually is

one of my favorite things a controversial take.

We did get a shout out for our consistent sports colors.

If you're new to town and have not realized it, all our three major men's teams, the pirates,

the penguins and the Steelers are all black and gold and so are the city colors.

We're the only city in the US that can say that.

So it does make it easy to pick out an outfit.

If you don't know what to wear to a given game, you probably have something.

And then I thought this is so funny.

We were trying to categorize these and like I didn't look closely at what this was trying

to say.

And we apparently categorized and something in here got listed as cheerleaders and I'm

like, what, what sport has cheerleaders?

Yeah.

So I looked at it more closely.

I thought it was like a separate thing because there was like an address with Liberty Avenue

written on it.

Why is this in the strip?

And I was like, the strip club cheerleaders, somebody said cheerleaders, is their favorite

thing?

Or they were asking why is it in the strip district, but like the strip district needs a strip

club.

Why not?

Yeah.

We're not sure if they understood the prompt.

I will say I have now, I have to look seven friends about this since I realized my mistake

this morning.

And somebody was like, you know, legit, they have one of the best hamburgers in the entire

city.

So there's not the first time I've heard that, oddly.

I did check their website to see like what the burger looks like.

There's a whole thing on the website right now that says like new 2026 menu coming soon,

like chef's menu about to drop.

So anyway, apparently the burger's good.

I've never considered there's a chef's menu at cheerleaders or all learning here together,

folks.

But Mallory, there was one, there was one thing that was overwhelmingly and different phrasing,

the thing that people love the most about living in Pittsburgh.

Do you want to hazard a guess?

Well, I woulda guessed Teddy's finks, but I already know that that's not it.

So I don't know that we're the birthplace of Mr. Rogers.

That would be really nice.

Actually, if that were number one, I feel like it's maybe too specific because most people

wait, what is it, Sophia?

What you got?

I would just argue this is Mr. Rogers related because, you know, the number one is like the

people, the neighbors, Mr. Rogers was a neighbor.

Yeah.

It's the people.

There was like so many submissions about friendliness and finding and building community

about the Inzer identity, like at all ages and generations.

There were just, there were so many things about like finding your place in this small town

slash big city situation, also civic pride, like just how by and large, even when people

are ripping apart Pittsburgh, they're doing it from a place of love, which I think fits

the vibe of this show as well.

Yeah.

And for people who are new to the city, they talked about how they love, how welcoming

the people here are, the community, and just how it's easy to talk to anyone.

Like most people are pretty willing to strike up a conversation with you.

And just like our general camaraderie amongst each other, like some of them talked about

how we know we're weird, but we embrace it.

And there was another one that said, all my favorite people are from Pittsburgh, like

meaning before they got here.

I love that.

Like I like that there's like we're developing a reputation for being like nice and you

should come visit.

And also maybe move here because it's cheap and it's fun to be around.

I can really attest to that one because I've had multiple people who I met like outside

of Pittsburgh when they learn where I was from, say like, well, I can tell we're going

to be friends because anyone I've ever met from Pittsburgh is great.

Anyone I've ever met from Pittsburgh, I love.

And so I do think that is like a badge we can wear with honor.

Yeah.

So if you want to submit, we still want to hear from you.

We are early in our journey of a thousand things, a lot of these included repeats.

So we're still, we're, we get a long way to go.

And we want to know what you think is the greatest thing about living in Pittsburgh,

the more specific and unhinged and weird, the better.

And reminder to follow us on Instagram if you aren't already at citycast PG H because

on Instagram free things that talk about good stuff in Pittsburgh is always fun, which

brings us all the way back around Mallory Sophia, what's your favorite thing about living

in Pittsburgh?

So I don't know if this is the top thing, but I was trying to come up with something

a favorite, a favorite thing.

And I do kind of love just the like communal citywide inside jokes.

And specifically, I love the fact that there is a Pittsburgh way to tell somebody that

their pants are unzipped.

Can you, it's open.

Can you, it's open.

I just love that there's like this in joke for everybody in the city of Pittsburgh.

And of course, it has, it's like a little, a little bit dirty.

Okay.

Well, I feel like mine's going to seem boring in comparison.

There's a lot of things I love, but right now I'm thinking a lot about Delaney's, the

coffee shop.

There's one in the south side.

There's one in shady side.

I went this morning, the spring specials didn't get one because there's like snow on

the ground, but the spring specials sound delicious, pomegranate lemonade.

There's like a cherry vanilla cold brew.

They always know how to do a good seasonal drink.

I think I'm going to make mine condiments, just the affection for condiments here.

Like we love, we love a ketchup.

We love a ranch and we love a joke.

We love highs.

We don't love highs.

But that's what I mean.

Like it's, it's so specific when we love the jokes and we also love to wear it as swag

or as tattoos.

I've seen so many Heinz ketchup bottle tattoos since I've lived here.

Pickle tattoos.

Like it's, it's great.

I just like how weird we are about the side things, the side cars on our plates.

That's all for today here on CityCast Pittsburgh.

No, I got distracted by the menu at cheerleaders.
