About OMGPittsburgh

located in Pittsburgh

To know a place, you have to intimately explore it. The church kitchens, neighborhood side streets, nightlife, parks, its people. Although its civic character is incomparably rich and diverse, the unique challenges of Pittsburgh’s landscape have created our city as a collection of vibrant boroughs and neighborhoods, each glorious yet isolated. To discover Pittsburgh, you’ve got to work a little harder, dig a little deeper, walk around a few extra corners. OMGPittsburgh is a grassroots group blogging project, born of the enthusiasm to share the hidden gems of the city we love. Built by the Pittsburgh new media community, it is open to all. Our goal and our reward are the same: To share our stories with one another and the world, so you’ll fall in love with Pittsburgh too.
