Born in Gettysburg, raised in the Philly suburbs, and a current resident of Swissvale, I've tasted many of the flavors Pennsylvania has to offer & the Mon Valley is my absolute favorite. After moving here in 2011, I developed an undeniable connection with the region.

When people think about Pittsburgh they think about steel & the Mon Valley mill towns are where that steel was made. The story of these neighborhoods speak towards the heart of the industrial matter. However, walking these streets you'll notice there's something different going on than only "defunct post-industrial mill town." My hope is to offer an occasion to discover what that is.
