I Could Live Here

"The Cov" has been on our "Top 5" ever since we blew through here in late 2022 on our way to catch a flight out of Cincinnati. This week, we FINALLY make it back and really dig into why it resonated with us in such a short amount of time--and why it's now making list after list of Top 10 Places to Move. We reconnect with Jenna and Bert Stewart, who let us live like locals from their British-themed abode. Did it meet our expecations? You bet your Mainstrasse, it did!

The iconic city of Pittsburgh, PA has been on James’ radar for a long time. After years of flying into PGH just to jump in a rental car and cross the Ohio border to visit his hometown, he’d had the itch to actually SPEND SOME TIME in the Steel City. But the minute we arrived, Denise was feeling a bit underwhelmed… traffic, rain and buildings everywhere seemed a little oppressive for what she’s looking for in a community. From navigating through the city's famous bridges and tunnels to indulging in local delicacies like pierogies at Pierogies Plus and sandwiches at Primanti Bros, this is our unpolished Steel City experience. We discuss Pittsburgh's unique neighborhoods, such as Lawrenceville and Mount Lebanon, and learn about the city's sports culture (#gosteelers), museums, and celebrity connections.
