Which new office tower has windows that automatically open for fresh air? And where do Pittsburghers go to get a real Chicago-style hot dog? In Return to Downtown Pittsburgh, WQED’s Emmy Award-winning producer Rick Sebak and his crew revisit the heart of this wonderful city to find the answers. Return to Downtown Pittsburgh premieres January 28 at 8 p.m. on WQED- TV and is funded by PNC and the Buhl Foundation, with additional funding from the EQT Foundation, Point Park University and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership. The original documentary Downtown Pittsburgh premiered in 1992 and became one of the most popular programs in WQED’s Pittsburgh History Series. In Return to Downtown Pittsburgh, Rick takes viewers on a tour of a twenty-first century Pittsburgh that’s changed with the times yet kept a lot of its old-fashioned charm. “We’ll check out some cool new businesses, revisit some old favorites, and take a brand new look at the good old Golden Triangle,” said Sebak. “It’s a new show about one of Pittsburgh’s oldest neighborhoods, and we try to document some of the quirky charms, old and new buildings, and unforgettable people who help make this such an exciting place to be.” “PNC has been headquartered in Pittsburgh for 164 years and has played a major role in the city’s evolution,” says Donna Peterman, PNC executive vice president and chief communications officer.
