This has been “a long and winding road,” and in the four years we have been doing this blog, we have had a grand time! We have made many friends, ticked off a few people with our politics, and had our say on a multitude of issues. There comes a time, however, when the road ends or takes a new …

Justice For Pittsburgh FBI Agent Samuel Hicks?

Justice For Pittsburgh FBI Agent Samuel Hicks?

Somehow our society has turned upside down. The drug trafficking will continue due to popular demand. Bullets will continue to fly as they did in Tucson, and Agent Hicks is dead. He was a young man who tried to make this world a better place, a safer place, and pleas abound from “I didn’t hear them” battering down my door and announcing they were FBI to insanity, which I am certain will come into play in Tucson. Our entire society has become a version of Deal or No Deal

From Pittsburgh: Is Big Ben Off-Sides?

Big Ben Roethlisberger has become our hometown hero as one of the best Quarterbacks in football. He helped the Steelers win games when it was so close, they may not have had that win in their column. We have held him up high as he himself raised the bar in football and raised the Lombardi Trophy over our city.  Pittsburgh …

It is mid-morning on this first day of the G-20 Summit, but so far so good. Greenpeace had people rappelling from a bridge in Pittsburgh yesterday. They dangled above a river with a banner that read “Danger: Climate Destruction Ahead; Reduce CO2 Emissions Now.” After two hours, the police successfully talked them into coming up. Greenpeace did so peacefully and 14 …

Pittsburgh Preps For G-20

This my city. This is the city where my mother forced me to go to charm school at the age of fifteen. This is the city where I learned my love of architecture by gazing at buildings constructed with detailed and elegant design by old-world craftsmen. This is the city where cultures from many countries merged into a flavor of …
