In the mid 70s they showed games on channel 11, then in late 70s they went to WPGH 53 which at the time was an independent UHF station. After WPGH become a charter Fox affiliate the penguins split time between Fox 53 and the regional cable sports network KBL. From 1990 to 1996 the Penguins split time between KBL and KDKA. In 1996-97 they showed some games on channel 22, and on Fox and KBL rebranded to Fox Sports Pittsburgh.

Since the beginning of the 1997 season, regionally televised games have not been available over-the-air

I wouldn’t mind that or Driftwood Oven

Get a meal at Big Jim's and go check out the overlook. If you're into that stuff there are great book stores like Fungus and Bottom Feeder around point breeze

Hello Bistro is owned by Eat'n Park and there are 3 in the city. Market Square, South Side and Oakland. You can get a Superburger, tha'ts about all the menu overlap they have. But the salads are huge and pretty good. That model probably works better in the city than an Eat'n Park.

A buddy of mine works here and said they were told that now that Big Al is gone, none of Little Al’s kids want to take on the job.

A tough thing with a lot of these family owned businesses.

Because they have no variety of food, we got one in north Versailles tho

There were only a limited number of games televised at that time.

There are TWO Eat n Parks in the city.

With a third that is 500 feet away from the City border.

I mean the fact it was in a place called Blawnox makes it even more of a Yinzplosion.

Can you describe your experience with Dr. Ullal? Where in the city are they based?

I think you're right. They'd just level the existing structure and rebuild.

My mom got one in Wexford on New Years this year.

Nothing like eating and shopping at the same garbage chains available in every suburb across the country!

Better head out to red lobster early tonight champ. Lent n shit

What was the name of that head shop in Oakland that was up on the second floor? I cannot come up with a name to save my life.

My daughter waitresses at an eat n park on Beaver County and told us the news this week. They lost their supplier and are searching for another.

Maybe comfort food wasn’t the best word. Maybe “casual dining chain “ would be better. However, it doesn’t negate the point. Nor does the existence of 2 restaurants

Sure, but they also lead the US in local ratings. The Penguins are the team an RSN wishes they had.

The pirates don’t nearly the draw the same viewers plus they have a likely more expensive production (simply because there are double the number of games.)

I think Eat N' Park put Hello Bistros in that place instead of EnP's.

Place is great but a lot of the produce is definitely not fresh haha

Take the time to call Adam Rossi at Adam Solar Rides in the South Hills. Adam has been in the e-bike business longer than any other shop in the area, and he carries a wide range of bikes from multiple brands. He is also a genuinely great guy, and an electrician to boot. I do believe it would be well worth the inconvenience of distance.

The average Eat n Park patron probably isn't willing to park on the street somewhere and walk to the restaurant

Nice. I just looked it up out of curiosity and it was July 2003, so technically it wasn't the IC Light Amp anymore lol. That was always the name though, just like StarLake.

Both Mario’s and Cappy’s on Walnut Street have trivia nights during the week. Not sure if they card to keep the above 40 crowd out.

Back in 1997, I shared a Midway Airport shuttle with a guy who worked as a research meteorologist at the nearby Argonne National Laboratories. I asked him about global warming and he said he wished people wouldn't use that term at this time. What he said would happen was that we would see wild swings in weather and more severe storms. The overall temperature would increase but the main indicators would be unusual temperature and precipitation extremes. When you look west right now, the snow and cold is absolutely unreal for LA and parts of the high desert. People point to snowstorms as a contrarian indicator but what were seeing now is right on target with what he told me would happen. Everything he told me back in '97 is happening now.
