Pittsburgh's History of Hard Work
Councilman Sala Udin's illustrated a snapshot of history with his introduction of the Pittsburgh Works legislation on March 3. 1999. Our city has been about Hard Work. Sala's grandfather worked in a mill on the South Side.- Ordinary Hard Work
- Union Town, Second to None
- Our parents and grandparents locked arm and arm and were together
Our Legacy
The legacy of hard work runs throughout the entire region. What follows is more of a look at the South Side, and it builds upon that regional mind-set. What makes each part of this region different is due to our typography, but we are more similar than not.The South Side Is NOT the Northside
The South Side's quality of life rings true with a sense of community and neighborhood balance.| South Side | Northside |
| Brew House | Alcoa's Corporate Headquarters |
| Beehive | The Clark Bar |
| Station Square's Good Ship Lollipop | Carnegie Science Center's WWII Sub |
| Flats & Slopes | Mexican War Streets |
| South Vo Tech | Perry Traditional Academy |
| The Market House Gym, Oliver Bath House, South H.S. Stadium (old as dirt and still kicking) | Three Rivers Stadium (RIP: 1970-1999+) |
| Video Crew visits for WQED special | Blimp visits for Monday Night Football |
| City Theater | Public Theater* |
| Consensus Planners propped by URA | Living Wage Activists |
| The Mon | The Allegheny River |
| Sandcastle | Fox Chapel Yacht Club |
| Kennywood | Cranberry |
| Great view of the new County Jail | Great view of the new Convention Center |
| East Carson Street | Allegheny Mall |
| The Mon Valley Expressway | I 279 |
| Spiritworks and New-Age Services | Breadworks and Easter Breads |
| Fixed income pensions to wives of steelworkers who forged a nation. | Million dollar salaries to NFL Steelers playing an after school activity. |

Notes:
Too bad The Public Theater is leaving the North Side for Downtown. And, as for the Shootz and Penn Brewery comparison: shrug. You can't win them all. Shootz closed many years ago. It was a big billiards hall mixed in with a TGIF. Remember Woodson's too, once in Station Square.
