A few things not worth their own posts: If you didn’t read Chris Briem’s thoughts on the Real Estate market and by extension the Pittsburgh Media, check this out. Essentially, his point is that there is plenty of good news out there about the Pittsburgh Housing Market, certainly more then...

There are plans in the works to put a Kuhn’s in the Hill District. I am a huge fan of this. I live in the immediate vicinity of the Giant Eagle in the Southside and I see the surprising number of busloads full and jitney cabs full of people from...

Either City Council or the press that covers them is broken. All I ever see is legal fees, billboards and Pat Ford. When we’re not talking about we’re wasting our time with what they think about penguins billboards or Schenely (that is not a comment on how I feel about...

Our airport is FANTASTIC. It really is, security is quick and courteous (particularly if...

It’s official, Pittsburgh (and the rest of the Comcast world) will be getting the Big 10 Network. I realize that 95% of the people that read this blog, could not possibly care less, but for me this is HUGE. My only question, will it be in HD?

Jim Russell made a note about PUMP on his blog and it got me in the mood to chat about it. If you don’t know about the Pittsburgh Urban Magnate Project (PUMP) read about it here. Russell points out that PUMP claims 30+% of its members claim that PUMP is...

Joan Rivers is too “salty” for the UK, but not for the Byham. She got fired from her job in the UK in a commercial break for using explatives to describe the fucking awesome Russell Crowe. She’ll bringing that potty mouth to the Byham on saturday, and since she’s lost...
