Super Bowl Sunday
Sixburgh! The venerable Pittsburgh Steelers win their Sixth Super Bowl! I, along with Lauren, Tom, and my Italian friend and colleague Angelo watched the game from the Panther Hollow Inn (see photo), which is strategically located in Pittsburgh between the campuses of the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon University. As some of you may know, I used to work at the PHI as the “door guy”, and even for a while as the world’s worst bartender… (Rum and Coke you say… what’s in that?).
As you might imagine, after the game the streets were flooded with festive fans, most of whom were celebrating in a responsible manner. Unfortunately, some were not. On the drive home, several routes were blocked due to couches and the like which had been drug out into the middle of the street and set ablaze.
While not a Pittsburgh native, I do enjoy the passion and enthusiasm that the people of Pittsburgh demonstrate in support of their teams… well, short of couch burning anyway.
Go Steelers!
