About
Pittsburgh is so boring! Or is it? We are here to serve the city and bring out the best in the Burgh. At BPGH you can find reviews, events, community forums, even the local weather. It is a place for you to meet other Pittsburghers and share your thoughts about everything from your favorite restaurants to the Steelers. Whether you were born and raised or just stopping by, there is something for you at BoringPittsburgh.com.
A group visited last weekend and were exhausted from sightseeing in your “boring” city. I lived there for school in the 70’s and found it just as vital, exciting and much, much cleaner than back then..Although my first ever ride on the incline was not a thrill, I still enjoyed the wonderful view from Mt. Washington and can finally say I’ve ridden the Duquesne incline. I hope to be back to show my friends more of Oakland and Shadyside, and even Point Park and Market Square..I would disagree that your town is boring….Come to Akron and you’ll know from boring……
Glad to hear you enjoy the Burgh. Come back soon!
You positivity is encouraging but for college kids, who aren’t here on short sightseeing trips, it can quickly become a rather “boring” place. This is a sentiment shared by a majority of the youth in this city, and is part of the reason why most of them do not stay in town after graduation.
As someone once in your position, I can tell you it takes leaving to realize what you’ve got. Personally, I can’t wait for the chance to come back (from a very large city, no less).
It also takes getting off your campus (esp. if you’re at CMU). Have you been to Gist St readings, or an Encyclopedia Destructica book-binding party? Are you engaged with hackPGH? Have you worked with Engage Pittsburgh to get people interested in something you like, or applied to Sprout Fund to start something interesting? Have you sat at the bar at Quiet Storm and met someone new?
Sometimes it takes realizing there is a world beyond Skibo. Pittsburgh is a creative, friendly and cheap city in a way that makes things happen. I haven’t found anything quite like it anywhere else.
