Can someone tell me the name of this neighborhood in Pittsburgh?

My wife is a Pittsburger, so I'll take a stab at it. Isn't this called "Northside" or "the North Side" or something like that?

That's the Mexican War Streets (http://www.mexicanwarstreets.org/history_map.html) neighborhood, which is located on the North Side.

That's definitely on the North Side.

I believe ZomZom got it right. It's on the North Side as people have mentioned, and if you pan down a bit you can see Heinz Field and Roberto Clemente Park.

I haven't been there in years, but when I lived in Pittsburgh about 10 years ago, I had some friends who owned a home there. It's a pretty cool area of a few blocks, and folks were investing in the property and fixing it up, hoping to turn a fairly run down area into a nice urban living environment.

Maybe a current Pittsburgher can chime in and tell us how successful the transformation has been.

The neighbourhood recently collaborated with Google Maps on the Street With A View (http://streetwithaview.com/) project. There's some amusing stuff on that street if you just look around.

Pretty strange. Type 432 Sampsonia Way into that same map and look at the street view to see what I mean.
