Those Oldies But Goodies

After all of the heavy discussions of the past few days, I think it's worth bringing back this bit for an encore.

And now, from approximately coast-to-coast, Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding wrap up the election returns for you, in a segment from the original recording of their 1970 Broadway show, Bob and Ray: The Two and Only:

New Duquesne Blog: An anonymous tipster sends us a link to a new blog that promises to expose all of Duquesne's "dirty secrets."

I didn't think the dirt in the Mon Valley was a secret. In fact, the problem is that all of our dirt is out in the open where everyone can look at it. We could use some secrets.

Anyway, here's the link. Judge the accuracy for yourself; there are some pretty serious allegations on there, but our tipster claims that "all of the info contained on it is true, accurate and easily verified."

Well, maybe. If it isn't, then it sure looks like some Grade-A, top-quality, gold-plated libel.

In the Mood for Food?: Tube City Brewhouse on Walnut Street in Christy Park is back in business under new management. Several of our spies have sampled the place during its "soft opening," and frankly, we're very pleasantly surprised. The service and the food are better; they weren't anything to write home about before the place closed.

It's one of several new restaurant reviews added to the "Tourism/Visitors" section of Tube City Online.

Also reviewed: Di's Kornerstone Diner, Mellon's Pub and Hot Metal Diner. Jason says check 'em out this weekend.






Your Comments are Welcome!

Jason, would you be able to put into your reviews of restaurants whether or not there is smoking allowed? I think some of the new patron of Di’s are the former Eat’n‘Park die-hard smokers. I know of at least two…my aunt and uncle.
