In this episode of The Positively Pittsburgh Podcast, host Tom Pollard heads to the Strip District to sit down with the one and only Jimmy Coen—founder of "Yinzers" and known by many as the unofficial "Mayor of the Strip." Jimmy shares the story of how he built his business from street vending to a multimillion-dollar operation, the power of customer service, and why he's fighting to protect the unique character of the Strip District. It’s an inspiring conversation filled with hustle, heart, and classic Pittsburgh grit.

In this episode, we’re climbing to new heights, literally, as we ride along Pittsburgh’s iconic Duquesne Incline. Join us for an exclusive conversation with the manager of the incline, who shares the fascinating history behind this beloved piece of Pittsburgh’s past and present. From its 1877 origins as a coal-hauling workhorse to its transformation into a treasured passenger experience, you'll hear how the incline became one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks.

We’ll also explore the breathtaking views from the observatory deck at the top—one of the best photo spots in Pittsburgh. Discover what you can see from up there (hint: the three rivers, downtown skyline, stadiums, and more) and why this ride up Mount Washington is a must for both visitors and locals alike.

Whether you're a history buff, a Pittsburgh native, or planning your first trip to the Steel City, this episode offers a ride through time you won’t want to miss.
