Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 бер 2022
- Running an east-west route for a length of about 7 miles, Forbes Avenue is one of the longest streets in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here, you will find numerous retail shops, museums, restaurants and hotels. Included right in the middle of it all is also the University of Pittsburgh, so you’ll spot many campus buildings, The Pitt Shop and many people sporting the campus colors of blue and gold!
Hello, welcome to our channel. We are twins who love to walk and explore. We started our walking channel while we were both based in Richmond, Virginia but one of us has since moved to Eugene, OR. Twins on opposite coasts! So now you'll get the best of both worlds. Walking videos from the East Coast, West Coast, and everything in between! Stay tuned to see what's next on the iTWINerary!

Now this is a city I think is underrated and I can’t wait to visit some day !
great tour thank you
Just before you get to the Pitt Shop there used to be the Original Hotdog Shop. Lots of history there. Best hotdogs and cheese steaks in the city. Across the street use to be the Decade. Big names played there.
Oh wow, thank you for watching and giving us a little history on the area!!
I went to Pitt briefly back in the day. This really brought so many memories back. The campus still looks amazing.
Thank you so much for watching!
Very well done! I went to law school at Pitt in the 1970s, it all looks so good now, amazing!
Thank you so much for watching!
Love the video! Great memories!
Thanks so much! We enjoyed walking Pittsburgh!!
I love the Restaurants in Pittsburgh. I just love Pittsburgh.
So do we! Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you for taking me on a trip down memory lane in one of my favorite neighborhoods in my favorite city in the USA! Thank you for this beautifully executed video where I almost felt like I was there! I lived in this wonderful city from 1990 to 1993 and then from 1995 to 1998 when I left it permanently. I am glad to see that there are some new additions to exciting Forbes Avenue and I can't believe that good old RiteAid and good old Subway across the street are both still there!!!!! No matter where I have lived in the USA, nowhere seems to make me forget this charming and cozy city and I think that I will eventually return to live there indefinitely. Between exciting Oakland, lively Squirrel Hill, and elegant Shadyside, I can live in MY beloved Pittsburgh FOREVER! In the second comment below, the commentator has used an adjective which I myself have used countless times to describe this lovable city: UNDERRATED!
Wow. Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us! Pittsburgh is also one of our favorite places in the U.S. We hope you'll get to return there soon! :)
Thank you! This is wonderful and now I'm officially homesick.
You are welcome. Sorry you're homesick but glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
I used to roam this area when I was a kid living in the USA 1984-1985. Lived in Atwood st and went to Frick then Schenley high school. Walked to school in winter, played baseball under Forbes Quad, stay in computer room in CMU (AT&T6300 !). I then went back to my home country and now live in Australia.
Thank you for your post.
Aww, thanks for walking us down memory lane with you! Glad this video could help. Thanks for watching all the way from Australia!!
@@theitwinerary No, Thank YOU!
So much has changed since I lived there in the early 90s. The Original Hotdog Shop is gone! 😢Bummer... That was a great place for a kid on a shoestring budget.
Love this 💕
Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful city Pittsburgh i live in Virginia
I went to Pitt my freshman and sophomore year. Watching your video was like walking into a past life. Where is the O? The Original? On the corner before you hit campus? Sooo much has changed in 30 years but it is still a beautiful campus...the architecture is stunning. THANK you for taking me back:+) God bless~
We appreciate your comment! We're so happy to have taken you down memory lane! Thank you for watching :)
The O or The Original is the boarded up building at the 4:42 mark of the video.
@@HereWeGoSteelers I saw that it was boarded up but hoped that wasn't the case. I haven't been to the area in awhile. What happened to it? Fire? Are they planning on rebuilding? God bless~
Amazing video. Your channel is inspiring. Hope I can be as large as you someday. subbed

Oakland is a lot more slicked up and gentrified since I went to Pitt for grad school early 80'icture Show plated every night with Pink Flamingos. Is the Original Hot Dog Shop (yum) boarded up on the corner of Forbes and S. Bouquet? Where are all the cool little jazz clubs? Also, the King's Court Theatre where Rocky Horror Picture Show played every night. Does not look like a college campus anymore, old Pittsburgh was a lot more fun.
Thanks for sharing some insights into the "old Pittsburgh" We've only been twice.
Yes, that was the old O. Unfortunately it closed a few years ago. It's now a taco place.

A current Pitt student.

Thank you for watching 🙂
Im watching this as if I don't work one street over
How cool! Sometimes it's nice to see familiar things from a different perspective :)
prior to covid those streets would be packed. even during the summer
Maybe there are busier times to walk then when we were there. Thank you so much for watching! :)
@@theitwinerary no problem. I kinda miss how crowded our city used to be
Forbes @ve got all the pretty women! 412
