Is there a Pittsburgh landmark that you miss the most?
For me it is the Civic Arena followed closely by the sinkhole bus.
... Aussie Boomerang BBQ - over Oakland-way.Ah Tambellinis, my first taste of Scotch, like almost a fifth before the two of us dropped it and broke the bottle, and frozen but burnt Pizza, Tambellinis Pizza, practically the first frozen pizza I ever remember, and IIRC correctly puked back up.
Aint never been there, but they tell me it was nice.
A few other joints - courtesy of one o' me mates:
Red Bull Inns... Tambellini's.... Decade in Oakland.
and one that I DO know-of - West View Park.

Also, the "Dirty" O, had to work down in the basement one time and the fuckers dumped their grease down the basements steps and it was like walking on ice, if you had seen what we saw, you'd have never eaten there again, and I didn't. Originally Posted by Devo

Chalkie heard that I was gonna be on the job over by Pittsburgh
university ("Pitt") one day - so he recommended that I try a
real "Australian tucker joint" that was near the college.
So like a droob - I listen to him - and I find the place he mention.
It was a bit of a walk from where me truck was - but I walked over.
The bleedin' joint was CLOSED UP... ... Had surely been
OUT OF BUSINESS for a good while... Had covers over the windows
and what-not.
Chalkie did me dirty that time... But no worrys 'cause
I surely returned the favour.
... Oh, was also supposed to ask you mates about the fates of
Dell-Kids... White Swans Park... and something called Inkwell Pools.
And Winky's.

Ahh, Winkys, home of the big wink. I liked Forbes Field, weird outfield dimensions which could make a liner to the outfield an adventure.
