Description
Beyond the world famous artists, singers, actors and more from Pittsburgh are the city's celebrities known locally for their quirky style, unique mannerisms, and outlandish behavior. From Joe Barker, the violent street preacher who was elected mayor in 1850--while in prison!--to Curt Wootton, the comedian whose celebrity status comes from being Pittsburgh Dad, on Youtube, the Steel City has had a number of colorful characters throughout its history that defy category.
