MYSTERIES OF PITTSBURGH
Feb. 12th, 2011 10:59 pmToday was a quiet day in the best possible way. Lots of nice moments with good friends, as it should be!
As the two five dollar pizza joints on campus, Sorrento's and Antoon's are locked in a death struggle. Sorrento's has an area where drunk kids can sit and eat, but they only offer five dollar pizza after 8. Meanwhile, Antoon's offers pizza at $4.90 all day, but is roughly the size of my living room. Local scuttlebutt has it that Antoon's is looking to acquire the adjacent parking lot so it can expand and provide a place to sit as well. I'd be down with that, assuming it didn't affect the price. I personally prefer the taste and texture of Antoon's pizza (The cheese of Sorrento's pizza sits uneasily on the mantle of sauce and tends to slip off at the least provocation), so Antoon's is always my first choice.
I took this picture waiting at Antoon's today. I guess someone is a Superman fan? I don't know what the club thing is for. It doesn't look like it gets a lot of use. Whatever, I think this picture is cool.
And since I only took two photos today, here's the second:
Mister Rogers, another beloved son of Pittsburgh. When I came to Pitt, I was shocked to learn that Mr. Rogers was a crack Marine sniper and he wore sweaters all the time to hide the numerous tattoos on his forearms and biceps. Slightly incredulous, I chose to believe it because it made the Ultimate Showdown seem a more logical.
Of course, the story turned out to be completely false. Too bad.
With this post, I now have a grand total of 21 posts, which means you'll have to click on "previous" if you want to see all my posts. YES.
