Editor review
That decision turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As I strolled back to my car post-game, I took in the architectural beauty and old-world charm that Deutschtown has to offer. The neighborhood, with its beautifully preserved Victorian buildings, feels like a step back in time and a breath of fresh air rolled into one.
This little adventure through Deutschtown, spurred by a technological hiccup, turned into a pleasant reminder of the joys of slowing down and appreciating the scenery—literally. It got me thinking, maybe this should be the new game plan: skip the Uber and take in the sights. Especially on nice days, why rush? Pittsburgh’s rich history, especially in a neighborhood like Deutschtown, is worth savoring, not speeding past.
