Pittsburgh—More Than a City

by A. Robert Scott

P

ittsburgh is more than a city: it’s a city and area that encompasses Western Pennsylvania.

I grew up in New Kensington, about 18 miles from Pittsburgh, up the Allegheny River, but I’m from Pittsburgh. And that’s true whether you’re from Monroeville, Butler, Greensburg, or Robinson Township.

Pittsburgh is truly someplace special.

But don’t take my word for it. Others are saying it and the secret is getting out. Once known as the ”Smoky City,” due to heavy industry, and much maligned for it, this is not your grandma’s Pittsburgh anymore.

There is much to see (a view around every corner) and do and enjoy.

8 Pittsburgh Point

World-class Views Few cities can match the world-class views that Pittsburgh has. One of the very best is from Grandview Avenue on Mt. Washington. Concrete pods that extend out and away from the hillside provide sweeping panoramic vistas.

Other stunning views come from the three rivers. A fun way to see the city from both land and water is with Just Ducky Tours. There is also a riverboat fleet.

Where to Stay For visitors and out-of-towners looking for somewhere to stay, the following recommendations for lodging may be helpful.

History and Accolades

Experience the $20 Million Renovation

Five years ago, in 2008, Pittsburgh celebrated its 250th Anniversary.

The city was named Pittsburgh in 1758 by General John Forbes. Leading a British and Colonial army, Forbes took over the ruins left at Ft. Duquesne by the French at The Point.

He renamed the settlement Ft. Pitt for his superior, British Secretary of State William Pitt.

From this small settlement at the confluence of three rivers came America’s Most Livable City.

Today, Pittsburgh is a perfect blend of the old architecture with a modern contemporary skyline that reaches for sapphire blue skies.

With rivers and valleys, and mountains and bridges, it really is someplace special. And the people that call it home make it more so.

For a city once known as “Hell with the lid off,” Pittsburgh has come a long way.

Recent recognition includes being named one of the 40 prettiest cities in the world, by Huffington Post. The city’s skyline is one of the world’s prettiest according to ForbesTraveler.com. Pittsburgh has twice been named “America’s Most Liveable City” by Places Rated Almanac.

Visit the Historic Landmarks in Lawrenceville “Jaws drop in awe!” according to founder Sean Casey when asked to describe the impressions of guests walking through the doors of The Church Brew Works for the first time. The breathtaking view of the brewpub garners comparisons to the impressive vista of The Point that visitors enjoy when emerging from the Fort Pitt Tunnel for the first time.

The Church Brew Works, a combination restaurant and microbrewery, opened August 1, 1996 as the first and only Brew Pub in the country located in a former church. The building originally was St. John the Baptist Church. Legendary beer critic Michael Jackson noted the brewery as one of the most beautiful in the world.

Renovations to the 8,000-square foot restaurant have brought the building back to its turn of the century splendor.

Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation showed their appreciation for the project by bestowing The Church Brew Works with the Award of Merit for the adaptive reuse of St. John’s.

St. John the Baptist Church was founded by local Irish and Scottish immigrants who worked in the flourishing Carnegie and Diamond Back Steel Works in the historic community of Lawrenceville. This Pittsburgh community was named after war hero Captain James Lawrence, famous for his dying words, “Don’t give up the ship.”

Catty-corner from The Church Brew Works is another famous Pittsburgh landmark, The Pittsburgh Brewing Company. This brewery was founded in 1899 through the merger of twenty different regional breweries. The brewery recently relocated to nearby Latrobe, Pennsylvania where its flagship Iron City brand is still being produced.

A block from The Church Brew Works at 3600 Penn Avenue is the childhood home of Stephen Foster, the famous U.S. composer. Three blocks away is beautiful Saint Augustine Church with its 92’ high domed ceiling. Built in 1899, this church is an architectural masterpiece.

The Original Oyster House The Original Oyster House, located in colorful Market Square is Pittsburgh’s oldest tavern. Designated a historic landmark, the unique tavern was established in 1870 when oysters costing a penny a piece were served to hungry miners and riverboat men.

Through the years celebrities from former heavyweight champion Joe Louis to former President Jimmy Carter have stopped by to sample the delicious seafood and congenial atmosphere.

During Prohibition, The Original Oyster House began serving its own special brand of buttermilk. When Prohibition ended, buttermilk had become a part of the tavern’s tradition.

The present owner, Lou Grippo, was bounced out of the Oyster House when he was a teenager, and in a moment of what at the time must have seemed mere braggadoccio, vowed he would return and buy the place. Some years later, the vow came true.

The Original Oyster House continues to attract politicians, judges, attorneys, sports figures, entertainers, newsmen, and hundreds of thousands of others as customers. More fish sandwiches are served here each week than anywhere in the city.

In the heart of the city at Market Square, The Original Oyster House is a Pittsburgh tradition.

St. Patrick’s A Day Newand Yearthe Strong, StoutBarleywine Beer Try ABrave New Beer,

Jeff Walewski

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, the religious feast day and anniversary of his death in the fifth century.

The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years, but the first St. Patrick's Day parade took place not in Ireland but in the United States. Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched through New York City on March 17, 1762 to celebrate. The celebration included beer, of course, and given their roots the Stout beer became the drink of choice for the Irish.

Stout is a great beer style from Ireland, characterized by its roasted malt taste and dark, rich body. The like of a darker is the owner of beer got it's roots from the Porter style in the 1700's. five Sharp Edge Porters were relatively strong by modern standards (above Restaurants in 6% ABV) and the porters of the ships, of that era, drank it to the Pittsburgh keep up their energy as they carried parcels on and off area. In 2005, he was knighted ships. The word stout, had taken on as one of its meanings "strong", and was used as such to describe strong beers. by the Belgian "Stout" could be applied to any style, meaning it was not government for his promotion uncommon to see a "stout pale ale". In 1820 Guinness began producing a stout porter. As time went on, "stout" of Belgian beers came to apply only to porter and, eventually, the "porter" in the United States. His estab- part of the name dropped off. Today, stouts are no longer stronger versions of porters but a style in their own right. lishments have Stout beers declined in popularity in the 1800s, partly due been the recipent of numerous to the high cost and lower yield from brown malt as well as awards, including the introduction and adoption of pale ale. During World War II restrictions on the roasting of malt effectively killed “Best Belgian English porter and stout production. It remained popular in Beer Bar in the places such as in Scotland and Ireland. Michael Jackson USA.” E-mail (the famous beer writer) revived interest in it in the 1970s, Sir Jeff at www.sharpedge including prompting revival of the extinct oatmeal stout.

Today there are many stouts, which include Imperial Stout beer.com (strong stout of up to 10% abv), Coffee Stout (brewed with coffee grounds), Milk Stout (brewed with lactose), Chocolate Stout (brewed with chocolate, but more called because of the color), and probably the most popular of the Oatmeal Stout (brewed with no more than 30% Oats).

So when celebrating St. Patty's day this year make sure to have a Stout beer and cheer this great celebration with a throw back beer!
