    We're Heading to Pittsburgh... The Stadium is Haunted

    Living in Pittsburgh, nobody ever talks about Heinz Field/Acrisure being haunted... or ghost tours/etc --- this is definitely an interesting take.

     

    If you're traveling in for a couple days, the typical touristy things to do:

    1. Mt Washington --- amazing views, great/expensive restaurants

    2. the Incline

    3. Walking Point State Park

    4. Strip District --- so many shops to walk to, this is the most cultural part of the city

    5. Keep driving past strip district and you'll  hit some great food spots, Lawrenceville to Point Breeze

    6. Primantis - you'll find a ton around the city

    7. Market Square

    8. Tons of museums, science center, etc

    9. Rivers Casino

     

    Hit me up if you need any tips on parking, where to stay/eat, etc.

     

     

    EDIT: and I was at the 1996 Bills vs Steeler playoff game, my first experience at a game as a 13-year old.  Had a cousin who played LB for the Steelers, sat in the players' "family section" -- got plenty of dirty looks/my dad had to deal with lots of heckling fans every time I stood up yelling

    We've driven past Pitt traveling between NC and Buffalo for over 30 yrs and only a few years ago decided to stop and check it out - did a lot of the stuff mentioned and had a good time.  Now each year we try to stop at least once on way to/from to take in a baseball game.  I found it to be a nice little city to walk around (including river walk) - and definitely nice park see a game

     

    The first time we stayed Downtown, but now for a quick stop to see a game we've been staying on North Shore - convenient for game and everything is still walkable if you wanted to go across the river to Downtown, Point etc.  Never seen a ghost.

    I'm so done with this season 

    I blame myself.  Started out deciding I was just going to passively watch the KC game and not let any outcome bother me.  Then stupidly I set up a 2nd TV with Sunday Ticket quad screen when everything was going good - then the slow torture began

     

    So much for passively watch and not let outcomes bother me

    Bills Hallmark Christmas movie

    in The Stadium Wall

    - Pretty sure in opening scene there was a Buffalo Joe jersey with wrong number 33

    - Never knew peanut fingers are a classic Buffalo food?  

    - Funny how every scene it was like a requirement to have at least 2 people with Bills gear on 

    - Chestnut Ridge!

    - Cant believe they were able to get Dewayne Carter! 😛

    - The Uncte apparently didn't know where his best friend and love of his life lived? When he got back he went to her factory instead of her house?  Then just gave up when the factory was closed  lol

       - One side note was there was a remarkable resemblance between the Uncle and my deceased father-in-law.  My wife commented multiple times, think it added an emotional element for her

    - Drink every time you hear 'Highmark'

    - Overall a pleasant watch.   I'm mostly happy for those kids. They really were in love, just didn't realize it despite everyone else seeing it and it being right in front them all along :)

    "IR is a possibility" for both Spencer Brown and Terrel Bernard

    I think Bernard needed to go on ir for weeks 

     

    Hopefully we see Grable get called up to the 53

    Grable is the forgotten man on this team.  He had the inside track on primary swing tackle and all reports were they they loved the way he was playing.  He got a concussion and they stashed him on IR.  I feel like we have the depth to hold down RT.  Bernard I will not miss at all.

    Bills Hallmark Christmas movie

    You already know I am....I love Hallmark Xmas movies in general...it's like you already know the entire plotline before it starts but it just sucks you in anyway 🤣

    Funny - when I go back to Buffalo and we visit my MIL she always seems to have the Hallmark Channel on, and every time after I watch for two minutes I say "I hope there isn't some innocent misunderstanding that keeps or breaks them apart - and If so I hope it gets resolved in the end" :)
