Check out the coffee shop 48 seconds into the trailer. That’s Buena Vista Coffee! Located at 1501 Buena Vista Street in the North Side. Unlike The Next Three Days trailer which was also recently released, there aren’t many Pittsburgh scenes in this clip – the city skyline (0:27 seconds) isn’t even the Burgh. There weren’t any shots of Jake’s Steelers tattoo in all the shirtless scenes, but we’re sure he has the team in his heart. And how about that Anne Hathaway smile! Some of the whitest teeth you’ll ever see. Continue Reading >>
The 2010 Bacon Bash with Mr. Baconpants - "Collateral Damage"
Saturday afternoon was the fourth annual Pittsburgh Bacon Bash, at the Harris Grill in Shadyside, the brainchild of Event organizer Jason Mosley (a.k.a: Mr. Baconpants), a man whose life ambition seems to be to do for bacon in Pittsburgh what Johnny Appleseed once did for apples in the American colonies..

As sad as we are about the Igloo no longer serving as the home of the Pittsburgh Penguins… and as upsetting as it is that there are a handful of suits in the city who are trying their darnedest to organize the demise of the historical steel arena… it’s still hard not to appreciate some of the attributes of the new ConsolEnergyCenter.
But one of those attributes that is definitely not to be appreciated is the main sign. It’s on the verge of being idiotic. For $321,000,000 they could have afforded a better design for the sign. Who’s bright idea was it to put black letters on a dark surface? This seems like something that should have been double checked. Now, when visitors get off the parkway (or come from downtown) they are welcomed by “Energy” …the brand new home of the Pens. Continue Reading >>
"Polalmalu Is My Homeboy" shirt worn by @MacfusionGirl
The Pittsburgh Steelers will play a preseason game against the Detroit Lions tonight at Heinz Field. Actually, the game starts in about 20 minutes, so you might find some typos in this article.
The picture is from an Apple Systems Engineer (and Steelers fan) in California known as MacfusionGirl. She let the world know that she was foregoing her Steelers jersey for her “Polamalu Is My Homeboy” t-shirt. Cool shirt. It’s available from BelieveMerch.com for $25.99 ($18.99 for the chicks version). They have some other badass designs like the “Sidney Crosby Is My Homeboy” shirt for those who prefer hockey over football. Continue Reading >>
If the long lines snaking along Craig Street and Forbes Avenue this week are any indication, Oakland is ready for a regular cupcake fix. After giving away free cupcakes all week (and turning Craig Street into Baskin Robbins on 39-cent scoop night), the newest location of Dozen Cupcakes officially opened for business at 11:00 today. Trombone music and free cupcakes—party in Oakland!
Dozen’s owner James Gray (Andrew Twigg is the other one) is obviously psyched about his new location, which was last home to a beauty shop. He says he’d been hoping to move into Craig Street for a while, and then one day he was making a delivery to Squirrel Hill and was thrilled to finally see a for-rent sign. A couple days later, the 500-square foot space was his. Continue Reading >>
