Dred Scott? Dred Scott?

I'm not even going to try to pretend I'm impartial any more. Anyone who reads this sludge on a regular basis can figure out which way I'm leaning when it comes to presidential politics.

So here's a quick debate review: Personally, I loved the Dred Scott reference. It's a shame he couldn't work in the Hawley-Smoot Tariff, the Alien and Sedition Acts, and "54'40" or Fight." At least we know he paid attention in 10th grade U.S. history. Well, for the first few weeks, anyway.

Kerry isn't winning these debates. Luckily for him, Bush is blowing them big time. He looks like a petulant child. I hope to God, who apparently is also running for office (he was mentioned enough in St. Louis), that the "undecideds" who can't seem to make up their minds were watching.

I still hear leftists who complain there's "no difference" between the candidates. They either aren't watching closely, or they need to step in a big steaming pile of reality.

In the meantime, I ask again: Dred Scott?

Letters Lost in the Bit Bucket

I get a lot of email --- upwards of 50 to 100 messages a day. Some of it is work-related, some of it is personal, and a fair amount is offering can't-miss stock tips, Kenyan money transfers and pills and potions that will enlarge my anatomy. (Come to think of it, if I acted on all of the offers I've received via email just this month, I'd already have an enormous ... er ... bank account.)

The upshot is that if I don't continually delete emails from my inbox, I soon can't find anything. Last night I realized it's been several months since I cleaned house. I had 2,200 emails.

In digging through them to delete or save the oldest, I discovered a whole bunch of Website-related emails, some going back to January, that I never answered. Good grief! I apologize to anyone who wrote in and didn't get a response until now (a sound file of my apology can be found here).

Anyway, better late than never, right? Well, let's dive in. Mike K., like other emailers, is looking for information about the White Elephant, and another 1960s Mon-Yough nightspot, the "Night Train":

Apparently the White Elephant didn't advertise, at least not in the Daily News, and I've never been able to find any record of who played there and when. I never even heard of Night Train until I read the liner notes of the recent Swamp Rats CD release on Get Hip, where they told a story about opening for the Turtles there. No doubt lots of other national acts appeared there as well. Anyway, I'd love to learn more about them, having grown up in the area (North Versailles) and being a big fan and historian of sorts of the mid/late 60's music scene. Any help you can provide with contacts or whatever is greatly appreciated.

Tube City Online was recently contacted by a member of the family that owned the Elephant, and hopefully we'll be able to bring you some Elephant tales (or is that "tails"?) someday soon!

As for the Night Train, all I know is what I've been told by people who "vas dere." It was owned by Terry Lee, who was the manager/producer behind the Swamp Rats, and of course, a longtime DJ at WMCK and WIXZ. It was out in Lincoln Borough or Elizabeth Township on Glassport-Elizabeth Road, but I'm not sure exactly where, and it was only open for a few years, so I'm told.

Frankly, I'm surprised to hear that the Turtles played the Train! Maybe it was bigger than I was led to believe, or else they did it as a personal favor to Terry Lee. He was huge in Pittsburgh radio for a few years and even hosted Channel 11's dance party show for a while (the show was called "Come Alive").

Since Pittsburgh was a fairly large media market in the '60s, the Turtles and other national acts would have wanted to make sure the local DJs and TV personalities were happy.

Besides the Swamp Rats, Terry also was behind the Fantastic Dee-Jays and some other local groups.

Terry Lee's current whereabouts are one of the Mon Valley's enduring mysteries, like the fate of the B-52 bomber that crashed in the river near Hazelwood, and Joey Bertone.

The last on-air radio work that Terry Lee did, if I recall correctly, was at WPSL in Monroeville and WESA in Charleroi. I think he also worked for WWCS in Canonsburg for a while. Rumors have him doing everything from DJ'ing under another name to owning a farm in Ohio.

If he's out there, I'd love to hear from him! He'll have to prove it's really him, though: I want to see a bottle of "TL's Sloppy Pop" as evidence.

Regina writes with questions about St. Peter's High School and the big fire that hit Downtown in Our Fair City during the '70s:

I notice in your questions and answers you mention McKeesport High School and Serra, but there is no mention of St. Peter's High School. I realize that it no longer exists, but I know a lot of people that graduated from there including myself. However, that is not my question. I would like to know the year of the big fire that took out four blocks. I think it may have been around 1974 to 1976.

The big fire in McKeesport happened (I think) in the spring of 1976 --- approximately May. It destroyed Kadar's Mens Store, the Apple Shop (formerly Riggs' Drug Store), Coney Island Hot Dogs, the Famous Department Store and the Elks Temple, and damaged the Penn-McKee Hotel, the McKee Cinemas and Hunter-Edmundson-Striffler Funeral Home.

St. Peter's alumni are now considered part of Serra High School's alumni (so are Mon Valley Catholic High School alumni, I believe). If anyone can contribute photos of St. Peter's High School, I'd be glad to put them on the Web site. I'd also welcome some stories about St. Peter's from its alumni --- how many students in your class? What did the school look like? Who were your favorite teachers?

From St. Petersburg, Fla., Dan writes:

My parents owned a music store next to the Memorial Theatre on Fifth Avenue (1959-68). My fondest memories of Murphy's were looking through the 45's in the record department. I also ate my first fried oysters there. Yummy!

Unless I miss my guess, his parents' store was McKeesport Music Center. Fried oysters at Murphy's, eh? I've been surprised to learn recently how "exotic" the menus at Murphy's cafeterias could be. The downtown McKeesport G.C. Murphy store had a large banquet hall upstairs that could be rented for formal catered affairs, believe it or not; that lasted at least until the early 1980s.

One Murphy Company retiree told me recently that the Murphy's in downtown Harrisburg, Pa., actually experimented with selling lobster dinners, mainly as a promotional stunt. It worked!

I'm still looking for former G.C. Murphy Co. customers and employees who have anecdotes or memories of Murphy's, Murphy's Marts, Morgan & Lindsay, Terry Farris and the company's other stores. Email me at jt3y at dementia dot o-r-g if you'd like to contribute, or write to me at P.O. Box 94, McKeesport, PA 15134.

Bob H. writes:

I stumbled on your message board and boy did it bring back memories, especially the one about Wids and Centennial Street.They forgot to mention Millie (a toughie, but down deep a softy) and Stallings, Finkels, etc. What I was originally looking for was a picture of the railroad station at Ringgold and Lysle Boulevard. Any suggestions on who I can contact to obtain one?

The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Room has a photo on file from approximately 1908. You can call 412-622-3154; there is a fee for photo reprints.

There are some photos floating around on the Internet; McKeesport Area School District has several on their Web site, including this one (McKeesport Model Railroad Club has a better copy of that photo on display), and this one in color. There's another on the McKeesport Tigers MSN Group site.

Richard asks:

I was wondering if you know of anyone who has a picture of the old Palisades Dance Hall from the early 1950's. My parents 50th wedding aniversary is coming up and that is where they first met. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Palisades is still very much in business, of course, but its appearance has drastically changed over the last 10 years --- mostly for the better. (It lost some "authenticity" but gained some amenities.) The lower floor of the Palisades, back in the 1950s, was a car dealership --- Palace Garage --- that sold Nashes and, briefly, Studebakers. (The Nash/Rambler franchise eventually wound up with Sullivan Buick, if I recall correctly.)

The Palisades regularly shows up in postcards of the Youghiogheny River skyline of Our Fair City that are sold on eBay. The only other sources I can think of are the Daily News or the McKeesport Heritage Center, but even if they have a photo, there's likely to be a fee for getting a copy.

Well, that's the mailbag. In the meantime, I'm going to try to be a little more prompt cleaning out my email box --- and responding!

Selected Short Subjects

Yesterday I mentioned rumors, first reported in The Daily News, that Wal-Mart has purchased Kennywood Plaza shopping center in Duquesne and plans to open a Wal-Mart there. You'd almost be able to see the North Versailles Wal-Mart from the Duquesne one.

Asks Alert Reader Officer Jim: "Isn't the usual colonial strategy to build a lot of forts around the conquered territory to effect control of the native population?"

Does this mean Western Pennsylvania is being colonized by Wal-Mart? Sound the alarm! "The bluecoats are coming! The bluecoats are coming!" Someone put lanterns in the Old North Church: One if by land, two if by sea ... or 1.97 if by Wal-Mart.

...

Do you remember what was originally in Kennywood Plaza, besides Kmart? Answers at the end.

...

The more I reflected on the vice presidential debate, the more I liked Cheney's performance better than Edwards', even if I didn't agree with the Vice President. Cheney seemed to be taking his time to actually think about the questions and give nuanced responses, while Edwards seemed to be regurgitating talking points.

The irony, of course, is that the Republicans have been hammering Yawn Kerry for being too "wishy-washy" with his long-winded, nuanced responses to everything. (I sometimes envision Kerry receiving his lunch order in the Senate cafeteria: "When I said I wanted mayo, what I meant was I wanted mayo on the side, in a little cup, not on the sandwich itself, although now that the mayo is on the sandwich itself, I will, of course, continue to support the eating of sandwiches, although not necessarily this sandwich at this present time.")

The conventional wisdom (whatever that is) seems to be scoring the debate a tie. By Friday night, the veep debate will be all but forgotten, I suspect, after the tops of the tickets meet again. I think the befuddled President who showed up at last week's debate won't be there --- he's much better dealing with average citizens (who tend not to ask so many pesky hard questions as reporters) than at formal events like debates and press conferences.

...

When baseball returns to Washington, D.C., there could be a Mon-Yough area tie: A movement is afoot to rename the Montreal Expos for the Homestead Grays, the Negro League team that got its start in the Steel Valley. (Karen McPherson had coverage in the Post-Gazette; Richard Leiby had an item in The Washington Post.)

The Grays began playing most of their games in Washington in the 1940s, according to Leiby and the Web site RemembertheGrays.org, probably because Pittsburgh already had a championship-caliber Negro League team in the Pittsburgh Crawfords, as well as the all-white Pirates. (Back then, no one thought of the idea of building a publicly-financed stadium to boost attendance.)

The origin of the name "Grays" is still something of a mystery, according to Leiby:

Probably from their uniform color, history prof Rob Ruck at the University of Pittsburgh told us, but he called it "an unusual name for a black team at the time." Christopher Rehling, a Washingtonian who runs the Web site RemembertheGrays.org, said his "best guess" was that the name came from the color of the team's socks (as in White Sox and Red Sox).

The Grays started out as a group of Pittsburgh area steelworkers who played recreationally in the early 1900s as the Blue Ribbons, says Brad Snyder, the Washington author of "Beyond the Shadow of the Senators: The Untold Story of the Homestead Grays and the Integration of Baseball." His book, published last year, is considered the definitive account of the Grays, but he told us he never discovered the name's origin.

As for his preference, Snyder said: "The Nationals would be fine. The Monuments would not be a bad choice. The Grays would be great."

Despite their name, the Homestead Grays apparently didn't play any regular season games in Homestead, Munhall or Mifflin Township by the late 1930s. All home games were played either at Forbes Field in Oakland, or Griffith Park in Washington.

There's more about the Homestead Grays at 15122.com, and at the Negro League Baseball Players Association Web site.

Most sources think calling the Washington franchise the "Grays" is a long shot, in part because the team has been gone since 1950, and in part because it would be hard to create a mascot and advertising image. Washington, D.C., didn't have a Negro League franchise of its own, but nearby Baltimore did: the Black Sox and the Elite Giants. Maybe it would be more appropriate to reuse one of those nicknames instead.

It seems most probable that the Washington franchise will take the name of the two undistinguished Washington baseball teams that preceded it --- the Senators --- though if it's hard to come up with a mascot for the "Grays," coming up with one for the "Senators" isn't much better. I envision a giant, foam-rubber Ted Kennedy stomping around the field; and let's face it, that ain't exactly gonna bring in the kids like the San Diego Chicken does.

...

The original tenants of Kennywood Plaza, as best as I can remember, were Kmart, Shop 'n Save, Thrift Drug and Towers, which I seem to recall was a catalog showroom like David Weis or Service Merchandise; my father bought a digital watch there in the late 1970s, when those were still quite novel. A Google search doesn't turn up anything about Towers except that there was a discount chain of that name in Canada that was bought out in the early '90s. I'm not sure if it was the same company that operated the Duquesne store.

Jeeters, Meet Your New Neighbors

If beggars can't be choosers, then the Mon Valley shouldn't turn up its nose at the prospect of another Wal-Mart. But is one really necessary in Duquesne?

Needed or not, Arkansas' answer to the Death Star has apparently purchased the half-vacant Kennywood Plaza shopping center, at least according to the rumors that Jen Vertullo of the News is trying to nail down:

Wal-Mart reportedly purchased the plaza, but Kimco site managers and Wal-Mart district officials couldn't be reached to confirm the sale. Reports were not made regarding the sale or availability of Kmart's parcel.

Wal-Mart recently opened a small store in a Bethel Park shopping center which also features a Giant Eagle supermarket and dollar store. Also, there is talk about the possible opening of Wal-Mart in Monroeville.

Duquesne officials said they have no official comment regarding Wal-Mart's interest in property within the city.

A search of the county's real estate Web site last night revealed no recent sales of property to or by Kimco Realty --- a real estate trust which owns many past and current Kmart locations --- but the database is sometimes months out of date.

(Also, it's not entirely clear from the county's online data which Kimco parcel is which; Kimco also owns the old Kennywood Mall on the other side of Hoffman Boulevard, which is in West Mifflin. The only Kimco parcel in Duquesne is assessed at $1.5 million, but the county's database doesn't put a clear address on it, and the attached "image" is a picture of Kennywood Mall, which would seem to be erroneous.)

Back to the point --- and there was one, believe me --- that beggars can't be choosers, and redeveloping Kennywood Plaza for any use would seem like an improvement over what's there: a craft store, a thrift store, a dollar store and an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. No offense to any of those tenants, but they're not doing much for the surrounding economy. The Ponderosa restaurant that was nearby closed quite some time ago, and the Taco Bell es muerto, tambien. I suspect business would have been much better with the traffic a Wal-Mart would generate.

So, while I'm not a Wal-Mart fan, I'd rather see them go into a town like Duquesne and reuse an old site than watch them plow up another 20 acres of vacant farmland out in the suburbs somewhere.

But can Duquesne sustain a Wal-Mart when it couldn't sustain either a Kmart or an Ames? Admittedly, those two chains had outside problems when they folded their Duquesne locations, but their failure would seem to bode poorly for a Wal-Mart in the same neighborhood. Also, there are two Wal-Marts within a short hop from Duquesne; in fact, the one in North Versailles can damn well be seen from Duquesne. I question whether there's a big enough population to justify another one.

Analysts who study Wal-Mart say the company is determined to make sure that no home in America is more than five minutes from one of its stores. That's an impressive statistic, but even if they achieve it --- a doubtful idea --- it seems like it's seeding the eventual decline of the company. Because eventually, they're going to oversaturate the market, and get saddled with a bunch of lousy locations, especially in rural areas.

On the other hand, there's a reason why the Walton family is the richest family in the United States, and I'm some schmuck with a Web site. It will be interesting, to say the least, to see if Wal-Mart's smiley face comes bouncing into Duquesne soon.

...

There's a new movie out, and the cast is a good one: It includes Geoffrey Rush, Charlize Theron, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci and Stephen Fry. It's received generally positive coverage in the U.K. and was the toast of the Cannes Film Festival. Indeed, the critics are saying that Rush may deserve another Academy Award for his performance.

But he's not likely to get one. Because for now, HBO Films is refusing to allow "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" to be shown in movie theaters, ostensibly because Peter Sellers isn't "famous enough" to attract an American audience. And without being screened in general release, Rush's performance as Sellers isn't eligible for an "Oscar."

In reality, HBO is probably hoping to hold onto the movie for premium cable customers before eventually sending it out on video. 'Tis a pity, because the film does look intriguing, even if some of the reviews have found it flawed. (You can watch the trailer here.)

Incidentally, I find Peter Sellers' career to be a mixed bag, at best, but his life story reads like a Greek tragedy, and it would seem tailor-made for a biopic. (More in the Times of London and the Grauniad.

...

I got an email the other day that purported to be from Citibank that asked me to send my Social Security number and credit card information. Obviously, it was a scam, but they tried to duplicate the look of a real Citibank email --- and did a reasonably good job of it, except that I doubt Citibank would include a paragraph at the bottom of its emails that said this: "NFL Shoe them to me please and when it Freeware AOL dog The point is Pokemon Gold Coyote Ugly in 1917 The WWF Same for me I'll get a porter Mac Anna Kournikova Yahoo in 1910 ?? ? ??? Free in 1921 Sure in 1808 Anna Kournikova That's lovely, in 1825."

...

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander: The weekly paper in President Bush's hometown dissed him; now the (considerably larger) daily in Kerry's hometown of Lowell, Mass., has done the same to their local boy. (Although in fairness, the Lowell Sun has never liked Kerry, going back to his first campaign.)

...

Quick debate impressions: I didn't like Cheney before, though I think he's competent and intelligent, and Tuesday's televised sparring match didn't change my viewpoint. But "likability" to me isn't the issue --- his ability to do the job of vice president is. I don't have much impression one way or the other of Edwards, though he was likable and seemed competent in the debate.

I think the debate was a draw on substance, but that Edwards' style was better than Cheney's, which may have swayed some voters to his side. (It would be hard to have a style that seemed colder or more indifferent to the public than Cheney's --- maybe Marie Antoinette's?) In the end, Cheney was Cheney --- growling, slumping, sneering --- while Edwards came off as more relaxed, if begging for approval a bit too much.

Andrew Sullivan called it a clear victory for Edwards, saying that Cheney looked like "roadkill"; I didn't think he looked that bad. The polls are fairly evenly split, though undecideds went for Edwards by a large margin, apparently.

In the end, no one votes for a ticket based on who the vice presidential candidate is, and vice presidential debates have not made one whit of difference in the final outcome in years past --- Bentsen creamed Quayle in '88, after all, and everyone remembers how successful President Dukakis' administration was, right?

Service Outage Today

You are free from my blither-blather today; technical difficulties Monday night made it impossible to post. (There will be a brief pause while you applaud and shout, "Bravo!")

A quick reminder that I am still looking for entries into the "Best Attraction in the Mon-Yough area" contest. An Alert Reader calling himself "Professor Quackenbush" has entered; why haven't you?

Name your favorite place to visit in the region south of Pittsburgh and west of Greensburg; it should be the kind of a place where you'd take a friend or relative if they visited. It doesn't have to be fancy, or touristy; in fact, I'd prefer if it isn't.

Deadline is Nov. 1, and the winner (selected by a completely partial, biased and unfair process) wins their choice of anything from the Tube City Online store.

And, of course, they also get to experience the shame of having their loved ones and/or family knowing that they visit this Web site instead of doing something productive.

Current and former residents of Our Fair City and its surrounding suburbs (are those "Our Fair Boroughs and Townships"?) are eligible. Employees of Tube City Online are unlikely.

Email your entries or post them to this page as a comment.

Black and Gold and Red All Over

I've got an original 1970s-vintage Terrible Towel and one of those flattened-out Iron City Beer "Super Super Super Steelers" beer cans, and I consider myself a red-blooded American and a life-long yinzer (so far), but for the life of me, I can't understand full-blown Steelers obsession.

I went to a fundraiser yesterday down at the Washington County fairgrounds for the local ham radio club that was supposed to run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It was a beautiful day to be outside --- a crisp breeze, bright sunshine, the smell of freshly-mown hay in the air. I arrived at about 11 a.m., just in time to find vendors packing their vehicles, getting ready to leave.

Why? The Steelers game, of course. Kickoff was only two hours away.

On the way home, I stopped in dahntahn Picksberg to buy a Sunday Washington Post; admittedly, weekends in the Golden Triangle make Death Valley look crowded, but at 1:35 p.m. yesterday, you could have shot a cannon down the Boulevard of the Allies and not hit anyone, or anybody.

I've talked to priests and pastors who tell me that church attendance drops precipitously when the Stillers have an early kickoff on Sundays. Stores have complained that sales go down during Stiller games, as well; I stopped at the House of Rancid Lunchmeat on my way home yesterday afternoon, and they were sending employees home, because the place was nearly empty of customers. (Admittedly, it was a great time to go grocery shopping.)

Look, the Steelers don't drop everything to watch me work (which would be pretty boring, I admit: "Wow! Look at him checking his email! Now he's reaching for his coffee!"), so why should I drop everything to watch them?

Even worse is the attitude the day after a Steelers loss; some people mope around with perpetual scowls on their faces. Do we have that little to get excited about that we have to live vicariously through the Steelers?

I realize it's just a hobby for most people, and Lord knows, I've got some goofy hobbies myself (vide supra, second paragraph), but allowing the activities of a football team, with which 99.99 percent of us have no direct personal connection, to dictate our own lives borders on something unhealthy.

Besides, I've learned that even if I'm not at home to watch the game, and I'm not in the car where I can listen to it on the radio, that I won't have any problem following the game. I stopped at Trader Jack's flea market in Collier Township as the game started, and was able to hear or see every play as I walked around --- there was hardly one person there without a portable TV or radio.

So, by all means, follow the Steelers, root for the Steelers, and listen to the games or watch them on TV --- but for heaven's sake, carry on with the rest of your lives while you do. Got it? Good.

Now, I'm going to go do two things just as useful as ranting about Steelers obsession: Namely, emptying Lake Erie with a thimble while attempting to spit into the wind.

...

And all that said: Boy, it was a hell of a game, wasn't it? That there fourth quarter was some football!

Also, I realize that Ben Roethlisberger has only started two games, but if I'm Tommy Maddox, this morning I'm checking to make sure my license to sell insurance is still valid.

Plus, there was good news for those of us who "turn down the TV sound": Myron Cope's voice seemed to be back to full strength after his recent illness. Hmmm-hah! Yoi!

...

In the comments section of Friday's entry, Suzie asks an excellent question that has puzzled generations of Pittsburgh baseball fans and fans from other regions who have moved to Western Pennsylvania. Namely, why don't the Pirates inspire the same fanaticism in Picksberg that the Stillers do?

I would argue that the Pirates did, once, inspire that kind of loyalty, up until the early '70s. I suspect several things conspired to steal (no pun intended) the average fan's heart away from the Buccos:

-- The Steelers under Chuck Noll suddenly won four Super Bowls after years of mediocrity;

-- Football (which is much faster-paced than baseball) became ascendant over baseball nationally, thanks in no small part to TV coverage;

-- Both teams moved to Three Rivers Stadium, which was a step up for the Steelers, but arguably a step down for the Pirates, which went from an intimate old-fashioned ballpark to a concrete bowl that was lousy for watching baseball;

-- Several Pirates were implicated in the 1980s major-league baseball drug scandals;

-- At roughly the same time, the Pirates began making constant threats to move, angering many Pittsburghers;

-- The economics of both sports have meant that the Steelers have stayed relatively competitive over the last 20 years, while the Pirates have been in steady decline since 1992.

If the Pirates could put a competitive team on the field --- one that could finish the season at least a few games above .500 --- and stay competitive for several years at a time, then I think fans would find their way back to baseball in Pittsburgh. Frankly, it's hard to expect people to root, year after year, for teams that they know are going to stink.

I know that Mets, Cubs and BoSox fans support teams that often stink, but I'd argue that a small proportion of true, die-hard fans, will support stinky sports teams in every market. But a small proportion of die-hard fans in New York City, Chicago and Boston is a much larger number than the same proportion of fans in Pittsburgh, because those are much larger media markets.

Without major changes to baseball's revenue structure, which are unlikely to come, then all of the teams in the dozen or so major league cities with the smallest metro populations are doomed to perpetual mediocrity, I suspect.
