OT, but so what. In the Fall that I was there I attended one Steelers game, played at Forbes. The game wasn't memorable, but the trip was. Four of us got in my car and headed out, but in the downtown area I was totally lost. I saw a policemen and asked for directions. He started rattling off some complicated directions and then stopped and said "You'll never get there before the kickoff. Tell you what--I'll hold up traffic (on a one-way street, incidentally) while you make a U-turn; turn left at the first intersection (followed by concise directions) and you should make it." This was typical of the people I encountered up there--everyone was helpful and polite. Another question--does Tech Pilsner still turn out Old Frothingslosh each spring? Or does Tech even still exist? I hope that at least Iron City is still being brewed.
