Mount Washington

This week I am going to discuss one of my least favorite neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, Mount Washington. formally know as Coal Hill because Pittsburgh had allowed several mines to open up there. This blog post I am not going to go too deep into why Mount Washington is what it is. After a while Coal Hill was renamed Mount Washington and started to become well known for having a great view of the city and many wealthy people had gotten houses built along the hillside for a great city view. As stated before I am personally not a big fan of this neighborhood, ride the incline and you will notice it’s beautiful and great to travel up and down between station square and the cute shops at the top. My problem with mount Washington is everyone believes it’s very adorable but after they tore down Arlington Heights and St. Clair Village a lot of the crime started to get pushed towards Mount Washington started having a lot of issues with crime. You don’t have to take my word for it, take a trip up to Mount Washington up to Warrington avenue and you will see. Many times I would have people around this area walk in front of my car and ask me for money and many more interesting requests. In conclusion I hope people are aware that what appears to be an inner city suburbia is in my opinion a dwindling neighborhood.
