Pittsburgh Audio Tour: Echoes of Industry and Immigrant Spirits
Red-brick smokestacks pierce Pittsburgh’s skyline, but the real heart of the city pulses beneath—where beer, blood, and business have collided for centuries. Head out with this self-guided audio tour and start tracking down the hidden fighting spirit of the Steel City. Unlock untold stories lurking between legendary breweries, world-leading hospitals, and the industrial giants that shaped a nation. What desperate promise caused the Penn Brewery to brew under threat of jail? Which shadowy operation at Allegheny General sent ripples through the world of medicine overnight? And why was a ketchup empire’s worst scandal decided by just one stubborn janitor? Walk the brew-soaked sidewalks, cut through alleys where power changed hands, and feel the pulse of revolutions both loud and silent. Every corner turns up a new battle or secret, impossible to see in a simple glance. Ready to crack open Pittsburgh’s steel shell and discover what’s been simmering underneath?
