Boy, some people sure take our being named the 8th drunkest city in the country very very seriously.
I haven’t really watched the Bachelor since Byron and Mary got engaged, but hot damn babies I am NOT missing this one. Not when it appears the resident trash is going to be a Burgher. That’s [...]

Danny O is going to veto the no-smoking bill because of a state law that will override the county law that smoking will be prohibited in casinos. The veto may actually stand because some of the council members aren’t pleased with the exemption either.
I totally agree that if you can’t smoke in a restaurant [...]

KDKA has a pretty awesome video of a “unique” training program that the Penguins are being put through … miliarty type training, complete with exercising while carrying what appear to be semi-automatic rifles.

1. My postings have been a bit more sparse this week for the simple reason that there hasn’t been much snark-worthy news … and let’s be real, that’s the bestest kind of news. Reader dukey11 commented, “Post more. I love you.” Since I completely take to shameless flattery, I’ll do my [...]

Ed Bouchette touched on what PittGirl has been thinking since Sunday … why isn’t Benny running?
Bill Cowher delivered a message to his quarterback yesterday, borrowing a line from Forrest Gump: Run, Ben, Run!
Word.
How many times on Sunday did you see Benny standing in a pocket looking for a receiver, find none, the pocket opens up, [...]

Quick poll for all you current and former Burghers, you see this exact photo plastered on the side of every other bus in the city, and on billboards on major streets, along with the picture of a dancing couple and the words Trib Total Media in the corner and no caption to the photo telling [...]

Well, they did it. Allegheny County Council went ahead and passed the smoking ban.
Anybody out there slitting their wrists over this?
I’m cool with it, and honestly could live with it either way. Sure, I’d LOVE not to come home from a restaurant, bar, or club smelling like a cigarette, and sure, I’d love [...]

So the PG looked into what made the hill fall onto Route 65, and it pretty much sums up what we already know: the developer got a waiver on having to bench the land, and therefore the hillside wasn’t as sturdy as it could have been had they benched it.
I’m bringing this article, which [...]
