On the road again... 

Pittsburgh Wedgie

Tonight's dinner was a taco wedgie. Wedgie -- Who else but a Pittsburgher could invent a sandwich encased in pizza crust and name it after a nightmarish underwear prank? Fox's Pizza Den owner Jim Fox -- based in Pitcairn -- began making the wedgie for customers who wanted all the fixins' of a sandwich but didn't want the "breadiness" of a bun. Incarnations of the wedgie can be found at dozens of local pizza shops, but just a word of advice: Make sure it's on the menu before asking the counter help to give you a wedgie.

Turtle Creek Hero

Today we spent some time with Mr. Patrick T. Lanigan the funeral director of Lanigan Funeral Home. He was quite the expert of the local history of the town of Turtle Creek. The photo above is of Leon Hart who is a graduate of Turtle Creek High and was the only player to win 3 national championships in college and 3 more in the NFL; won his titles at Notre Dame (1946-47,49) and with Detroit Lions (1952-53,57); 3-time All-America and last lineman to win Heisman Trophy (1949); All-Pro on both offense and defense in 1951.

ps. There is some local chatter about a turtle store being opened by year's end.

Dash ornament....the dashboard is HUGE!

Movie night at the Loew's Pittsburgh Waterfront

Four Brothers...a pretty good flick...especially since we used free passes about to expire. Andre Benjamin did a surprisingly good job breaking into acting from his music career with Outkast.

RV Exterior...before being wrapped. 

Saturday, September 3, 2005: Pittsburgh

It was our first event of the tour: Pitt vs. Notre Dame (kicked their butts). Things went smoothly all things considered, after a parking crisis first thing in the morning. That got fixed with a $75 spot behind the Science Center.

We'll be stuck here in Pittsburgh all week as the RV has to get wrapped Tuesday-Thursday. Now we're looking for something fun to do around town. It will be easier tomorrow with a rental car, instead of having to come up with a destination we can drive the RV to.
