If you have read any of my posts on Urban Hike, you will know I am a big fan of walking around this city.  When I was in high school I read Annie Dillard’s An American Childhood.  Annie writes about growing up in Pittsburgh and I was addicted to this book as she attended the same high school and church that attended.  Annie writes about  learning to drive and exploring the neighborhoods of Pittsburgh and I often  think of her books as I explore one more alley that I have never driven down.  To this day, Gold way is still my favorite.

Walking Pittsburgh is way better than driving Pittsburgh.  If you are a regular IheartPGH reader you will know we are bigs fans of Urban Hike and I also highly recommend the South Side Slopes Step Trek (whcih is coming up on Oct. 14).

There is a new blog in town – Walking Pittsburgh.  My dear friends Matt and Tiffany have set up a great blog with amazing pictures from different walks around Pittsburgh.  So even if you can’t leave your home, or you are reading this from outside Pittsburgh you can see what different neighborhoods look like.  Each walk include information about architecture, history, some fun facts and a map of their walk.

Check out the statue of liberty they found that is made out of logos on their walk around Allegheny West.
