Category: So-Called Radio Humor || By
Gee, things have been so serious around here lately, it seems like it's time to lighten things up with a little humor.
But instead, I'll pass along some content from my lousy radio show.
Incidentally, I unearthed the ad at right (from 1972) while getting ready to do the story a few days ago about the motorcycle blessing at St. Stephen's Church. Don't try looking for the Harley dealership; it's long gone.
I don't remember it at all, and my best guesstimate is that the dealership was located at the city side of the old 15th Avenue Bridge. I seem to recall a used car dealership there in the 1980s.
I also don't think this dealer was related to Heritage Harley-Davidson, which was on Lysle Boulevard (in the former Leonatti Bros. Honda dealership) before moving up to West Mifflin. Your clarifications are much appreciated.
And now, without further adieu:
Jason: On the subject of gas prices, I’ve seen $4.35 for regular down near the DC line. Out in Laurel last weekend the best price was $3.89, but I suspect that’s gone up in the last few days. I don’t know if the have “zone pricing” out in the ‘Burg, but it is real evident around here. At $4.00/gallon, it is an $85.00 round trip from here to McKeesport in the Volvo; $56.00 for the Miata. Gack!
