This renovation has brought some new businesses and has revived some of the existing ones. It's a fun place to visit if you are a local when they have their events. Sadly, there are still not many businesses to make it as popular as other cities nearby. Some events Old Town Pittsburg hosts are the Farmer's Market, the Thursday night car shows, and the Pittsburg Seafood Festival which are cheap or free to attend. If they could bring some more restaurants/bars or other activities, this area would come alive! It still has a lot of potential!

Uptown Pittsburg is the "nicer" side of this small city. It's furthest away from the loud railroad…read moretracks which is nice. Hearing that train whistle late night is not the business; especially when you are trying to sleep. Also, further away from the freeway. The homes are a little more expensive, newer, and larger (sq. ft. wise). The parks are more family friendly for actual play time. Although it's "nicer", it doesn't say much for Pittsburg. What is considered "nicer" is what others would probably call normal. Nothing fancy. There is occasional riffraff and ghetto folks but it's not as visual as midtown or downtown Pittsburg has come along way from it's negative stigma. So I'm not so anxious when people ask me where I live. Uptown is primarily a residential area with a small strip mall. It's also close to more shopping in the city of Antioch which is very convenient.

We have a Nice small Down Town could use a few more shops which I anticipate will be coming with the economy slowly moving up there are a few Great Places to Dine there is a Ice Cream shop and every Thursday the super fun Music and Car Show. Uptown Is like a previous Yelper said more quit Nicer area to come home from all the Hustle and Bussel of our every day Hectic life's. If you happen to get Hungry or are a foody like me there is a wide array of choices to choose from close to home. The Parks are Nice yet you have to get there super early if you want a picnic area.. Parking is MMMMmmmm There could be more with the newly renovated pool at Buchanan Park it gets Crazy Hectic on the weekends.

I used to drop my ex off in this area. Saying that I was…read morehere a lot and never felt really unsafe even when I was supposed to. Pretty safe area considering where it's at depending on what street you go down just be careful. BART is off railroad ave. This place is fairly packed 24 seven so if you want somewhere that has traffic most of the time this is the place for you! There's a lot of people over here that will try and race you which is not an issue for me but you can tell most of them are intoxicated due to swerving so just be careful! I'd honestly just stick to the stores and stay out of here if you don't live in the surrounding areas just because of how it is. Thanks for reading hope this helps will add more details and pictures as I go back to the area!

Originally from Walnut Creek, but moved to Pittsburg still as a kid. When I was younger Pittsburg…read morewas pretty nice and not over crowded. In the 80's there was the Vogue theater that was in down town Pittsburg the very last movie that played at the vogue was Who framed Roger rabbit and Honey I shrunk the kids. Then in the mid 90's it turn into a church. If you were from Pittsburg every youngster under 20 would go to Marina Skate. I really loved the over night skate.. Hehe, especially when someone fell asleep and we would put shaving cream or draw on random people's faces. Unfortunately that happened to me twice. Every year during the first week of September would be the the Popular seafood festival although I stopped going years ago because it used to be free to get in now I think is like $15 I would mind paying it if Pittsburg didn't make the festival smaller :( When I lived in Pittsburg there were several elementary school's however I went to Private school until I was in the 4th grade so 5th I went to Highlands elementary which was okay I guess. Junior high you had the option of Central Jr High or Hillview Jr. high. I say this because if you could handle Central the do it and you didn't have the tough skin for it and you wanted to go to school drama free then Hillview was the school for you. I chose Central I don't know why I suppose it's because friends were like if I go to Hillview I was a hater. I got through Central with no problem graduated 8th grade in '96 I went to Pittsburg High from 96-00 that school was something else and I don't mean in a good way either. For me you had to stay lit to deal with the non-sense there I actually left Pitt for like 4 months during my Junior year before someone hated on me for using a friends address to get into a high school in another city. :/ Finished High school at Pitt and ran across that graduation stage with joy knowing I would never had to go there again :) :) :) In 2007 I decided to move out of Pittsburg because it got worse and people were getting killed on dumb stuff landlords were renting there properties to people who didn't live in the homes and were just using the homes as pot grows and meth labs literally. One place actually caught on fire. It's a horrible feeling when your told you can't go home. That's was the last straw. My daughter, wife and I moved out within 2 weeks a few years later my dad sold his house and moved out of Pittsburg. The only reason I still go to Pittsburg is because my mom and sister still lives there and I can't pass up Parkside Market and those delicious sausages. I don't know if this is a review or a rant but it's what my experience's living in Pittsburg. P.S City of Pittsburg why did you get rid of the Blues festival and only keep Hot August Nights and Seafood festival?!!!

I like what Water Light Public Plaza represents, even if it's poorly designed…read more Unfortunately, the three walls that make up the Plaza have no sound dampening. So if you have multiple people speaking or children being children, the sound carries to the point it's unpleasant. It couldn't be made into a park because the noise would be deafening. The Plaza has little to no greenery and only receives sunlight during certain points of the day and year, generally being a concrete shaded rather cold space with tables that go largely unused. It would liven up the area dramatically if they put in a small coffee shop that had games you could check out (like Salesforce Park), but my guess is they have to keep it a community space for tax purposes. In my opinion the seating at Growers Square and the Wells Fargo Fountain are far more successful. They're both more comfortable and have a mix of shaded and sunny areas. So all in all, while the idea of the Plaza (with it's beautiful tiled backdrop and fountain) is great, the actual usability of it day to day is fairly low.

This is a really cute public space in Walnut Creek, with a few plants along the border and several…read moretables available to enjoy snacks or drinks. Half of the seating area was covered by shade when we visited, which was a relief on a hot Sunday afternoon. The glass and ceramic mosaic mural along the wall, titled Water Light, is a beautiful reflective art piece by Jason Middlebrook, whose works connect art, history, and nature. The arcs of water flowing from the jets blend in with the artwork on the wall beautifully. The biggest surprise was the wooden grand piano at the corner of the plaza adorned with images of tiny trees and polka dots whose colors match the mural in the background (part of the Painted Piano Project). We got to play and listen to lovely melodies while relaxing in this simple yet delightful space.

Two of us had the seabass which came with steamed vegetables and pasta. I'm a fisherman so eat fresh fish often so rarely order at restaurants but was told by the server it was great so gave it a try. To say it was great is an understatement. It was incredible. The bass was a very large portion served over a tomato, basil, olive oil and capers baked in a parchment paper tent. The fish was super flaky and moist. Pasta and vegies cooked perfectly and of course fresh Parmesan Cheese over the top. The other's had the steak sandwich and Italian sausage sandwiches with french fries. Both loved their food. If you haven't been to this place you should give it a try. I will be back! Jim W.

Very easy. If all festivals are like this, I might as well venture out and explore! This was a new temporary location for this festival as the original was further away but it was being fixed or upgraded. I loved the set up as it was easy to walk around to see the vendors, rides and food! Yummy! You know I came for some good BBQ and it was great. Nice warm weather and good opening act Michelle Lambert the singer sounds great. She sounds like a Lee Ann Rimes and she plays a violin which was amazing to see and hear. As I was walking around there was food booths and vendors all around. My friend and i walked around the entire area. It's worth to trip to get a change of scenery and explore new vendors we don't normally see where we live. I bought some fresh nuts and bought my bbq lunch. My friend had to buy the cute succulents that came in a box of three. Would I come back here? Sure got good food, entertainment and vendors that were all well balanced.

Thank goodness for portapotties strategically placed. Unfortunately my wife tried the lobster roll at Chicken at the Farm. It was horrible. I stuck with the chicken teriyaki bowl which was delicious & opened right at 11 AM. Great service at that foodie tent. Hibiscus cooler & mango slushy was also a winner at a different vendor tent. This park had the biggest playground we had ever seen. Lucky for families with children! Also a pond too! There were wine sampling & beer gardens for those interested. We found a shady area to listen to the music. I did lose my wife as she was wandering the park to check out the various craft vendors. She found one lady working there in the slim wallet tent who wore these beautifully patterned baggy pants that looked like they were from Thailand but probably from California some 30 years ago! Omgosh they are truly back in style! My wife was so jelly!!! I lucked out as she didn't spend a fortune on anything but food & drink. Whew what a relief! Trying to downsize! Like what is that??? LOL Don't forget to swing by the Safeway tent & get your free apple. PIZAZZ!!! Humongous but worth it...I think we tried it recently back home at the last Farm to Fork Festival. Seriously!
