Pittsburgh Beautiful

Her roots are in Latrobe (that's LAY-trobe to all you non-yinzers out there).   Natalie grew up singing, dancing and song writing.   She had a dream.   This dream has taken her around the country, from playing the "circuit" down south all the way to the West Coast.   Singing and writing just came naturally to her.   So does giving back.   So Natalie decided to come home.   Home to Pittsburgh.   Where it all started for her, and where she hopes to shine her light on a city rising once again.   Here series, N'at About Town, can be seen on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and her website, NatalieShugars.com.   I sat down with Natalie at the Abbey on Butler Street in Lawrenceville to ask her about her journey, her dreams, and her feelings about the Steel City.

Season 2 of the Pittsburgh Beautiful podcast kicks off with an incredible story. Meet Olivia, originally from Uganda. How did she make her way from this African nation to our city? Actually, is that the question we should be answering? Nope. The real question is that after meeting her husband, starting a family and several successful international businesses, Olivia chose to stay HERE... in Pittsburgh. Find out her “Why”, her favorite Pittsburgh treat and more right here as we kick off Season 2 of Pittsburgh Beautiful!

Olivia can be found on Instagram helping to coach women create and execute business opportunities.  You can find her @Oliviansell

This week we are back at Coffee Tree Roasters on Walnut Street in Shadyside.   Streaming live on Facebook, we dive into our buddy, Pat's, gambling problem.   Oh... and we talk about the Pens,  the Steelers, and make early Super Bowl Predictions.

Back at the Abbey on Butler Street in Lawrenceville.   Is Matt Canada from Canada... or Indiana?   Live streaming the show on Facebook, we discuss this hugely controversial topic among other less-relevant things like... Crosby back in the lineup and the MLB sign stealing "non" issue... according to Marc.

Welcome to another BONUS episode of the The Sports Porch on Pittsburgh Beautiful.  This week, we are at Coffee Tree Roasters in Shadyside.  Marc is the "guy in the middle" and is pretty p*ssed off about what happened to Carson Wentz... but I digress.   We talk Steelers off-season questions, the NFL playoffs, Syd and the Pens, props (kind of) to Pitt Basketball and make our predictions.

What better way to kick off a new decade than the Sports Porch from the Abbey on Butler Street in Lawrenceville?  We grade the Steelers season, talk a little Pens Hockey and make our predictions for this first round of the NFL playoffs.   The Sports Porch, in collaboration with Pittsburgh Beautiful!

The porch is mobile again at Starbucks in Murrysville this week.  Dave, Marc and Chris discuss the Steelers dismal performance in New York...  Mason and the Duck... what's up with the running game and will the real #1 receiver PLEASE give us some game.  A little bit of Pens talk, and we wish you all Happy Holidays (or Merry Christmas, as Dave would prefer...).

This week on the Sports Porch it's a two-fer.   Schwalbber  and Moio had other obligations ...  Steve and I talk about the Jets, who won the duck hat, the Pens and more.   Coming to you from Coffee Tree Roasters on Walnut Street in Shadyside.

In this collaboration with the Sports Porch, the guys talk about the Steelers... of course.  The Bills are in town this Sunday... what do they think will happen?  The Pens are still treading water... which is good.  And...  a LIVE Facebook broadcast PRE-GAME show this Sunday night!

The Pittsburgh Beautiful Podcast collaborates with The Sports Porch again on the Browns game, is Duck "the guy", predictions for the game in Arizona and a little Pens update.  Stay real!
