Southside Slopes




Before I started my neighborhood project, I never ventured up to the Southside Slopes before. My travels usually just ended at the Southside flats because well, there are bars there. Har de har har.


One thing that really struck out to me about this neighborhood was the appropriateness of the name. As you can see from the picture on my left, this area is definitely not flat. Holy hell. I haven't climbed that many stops in a long time and probably haven't climbed that many since.


I had fun taking pictures in the Southside slopes because the view of the city is just tremendous. You really haven't seen Pittsburgh in all its glory until you seen it from up high. The area, from what I saw, is mostly residential. One of the neighbors came out and asked me and my boyfriend why we were taking pictures during our trek around the neighborhood, but not in an accusatory "I'm going to call the cops on you." She was very friendly and that was refreshing. I think when you live so close to so many people, it would probably be in your best interest to not be an ass. Heh.
