Maybe try the user photo gallery.
Once you're there, sort by *State*
Then look for the letters PA
They will probably on about page 17-18.

I live roughly 30 miles NE of Pittsburgh in Apollo. As for mechanics, we do all of our own work but I can ask my dad and I'm sure he'll know of a few in "Da Burgh".

Used to live there. I had a Toyota MR2 at the time, so I had no need of a mechanic.

Be sure to root for my "Stillers" next football season!

I recently got an email with the stereo-typical Pbgh. sayings and accents. Funny as all get out!

You'uns guys gonna go daan ta da JianIggle n'nat?

Post Pittsburgh anyone?

tediesel,
Where abouts are you at in Apollo? I moved from Apollo 4 and a half years ago to Michigan. I used to live on Route 356 by the Moore bus garage. My wife and I both grew up in Mateer.

I was 20-some miles north of Pittsburgh until I moved out to PSU (State College). But, like the above post, we also worked on our own vehicles.

I know of a great mechanic over there, but he does part-time work for used car dealerships and hates (and refuses to work on) Fords...

Pgh is a big area... you probably ought to be a bit more specific about where you live.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Mar-02 AT 02:52 PM (EST)]Damn, I moved from Pgh. to PSU too! Graduated in '94 from the college of communications with a degree in film and video production. Go have some mac 'n cheese at "The Diner" then get stickies for dessert. Mmmmmm.

How's JoPa holding up? I almost ran over him when I lived in Toftrees!

Fight on State!

Kevin, I lived right across from The Cottage Restaurant which then changed to Tafi's right by the Moore bus garage up until 1993. Then we bought a few acres and built a house about 4 miles away on Woodberry Drive off of Airshaft road By Pounds Turkey Farm and Northmoreland Park.

UglyF250 - funny, I almost ran over JoePa while taking a shortcut on my mt. bike out to Scotia Range.
Must be one of those things you gotta do before leaving the promised land, huh?

He's still motivating and ambulating around, so I guess he's doin' alright. Some might even say that even at his age, he still get around better than some of the team he coaches... (we'll do better next season!).

Dude, I'm a mailin' fool with thos stickies... USPS Priority mail and they travel. I either drive 'em or mail 'em to my brother, my sister-in-law, my parents, you name it. Want some?

yeah, it IS broke (is it ever really not broke?)
but I'll fix it someday.

Best,

:+

Well, I wasn't gonna mention it, but my wife almost ran him over too! So maybe there IS something to that. Crazy!

Thanks for the offer on the stickies. I'm hoping to get back that way this summer. If you make it too easy, I won't have to leave home! Thanks for the offer though!

I was gonna say something about my Lions, but I didn't know if you played for them or not. I had a MatSci class with Kerry Collins (sp) back in the early 90's. Here's hoping for a better season next year!
