ha you're right, I looked again and it's dated 2012. My bad!

I think this pic is from this week in 2011 because it showed up in FB memories. Did they take all year to demo?

Wiseguy's is middle ground pizza. Kid birthdays, sleepovers, pretty inexpensive too.

Looking a lot like the "derelict ship" from Alien.

If you tell me they still have the sunday bar, then I'm going.

There were many suspected mounds, some confirmed. There are numerous newspaper clippings about them being found in Wester PA and along the OH river valley. Typically if there was one there would be more nearby.

It hasn't been confirmed and should remain on the DL. There's another suspected mound nearby but this one is clearly marked no trespassing.

I think this pic depicts the bluff. Grant's Hill wasn't this big.

Ha, that's what bar ends are for.

Sullivan. I called them to service my furnace because they were running a special. My MIL was at home with my daughter who was two at the time. It was winter and very cold the day the tech arrived. My MIL called after he had been in the house to say the tech had shut off the gas (was a word for it I forget, something like red taggged the gas line) and told her to leave with my daughter because I had a cracked heat exchanger. I get him on the phone, he tells me the furnace is fucked and he was having the office work up an estimate.

Luckily my MIL suggested calling a person who she had service her HVAC for years and he was available to come out that afternoon. He used one of those cameras on a rod to determine there was no fucking crack in my heat exchanger. He also informed me the furnace was still under the original warranty! He green lighted the turning back on of the gas, my MIL and daughter returned to the house.

I was so damn mad I called the office and spoke to whomever who told me the tech may have made a mistake and would I let another Sullivan tech come out to take another look. I told him I'd never use Sullivn nor recommend them to anybody. At that point he offered to PAY me to have a tech come out. I refused. Fuck Sullivan.

Without opening the link, I'm OK with asking, "which boat in the Allegheny?"

and I had no idea it was a national thing. the stickers were handed out in schools when I was a kid, they were on our trapper keepers and all.

I just heard this in my head, that was the TV commercial. good stuff.

These were ubiquitous in the 70's and 80's. I remember seeing them in a liquor cabinet.

This is Amurrica, we drink coffee here. /s

My family supports independents almost exclusively. Though the kids do want their chipotle and the like from time to time. The suburbs are chain restaurant hell. Even so we'll try to go to independent restaurants even when in the land of restaurant mediocrity.

I'd look for a man named Brain and get him to help me find the Duke so we could get off the island.

Queef's, in Dormont.

They went over here:

thanks!

And this morning around 8:30 a cop motorbike was all bashed up at the 40th street bridge. I saw a middle aged man being loaded via stretcher into an ambulance but couldn't tell if he was the rider.

I remember the sports cards and others. He Man I can't recall but I may have just stopped raiding the bread for the trading cards haha

Not me, but got to go every week with my grandfather to the store counter where we'd stock up on Hostess products. The store front is still there and it's in a sad state:

Another Fun Fact. Town Talk used to come with random trading cards. One series was based on cars that were crossed with animals, they were my favorite:

I had most of these at one point.
