We used to go there a lot when I was little.
Dad worked up in Tarentum/Brackenridge, so us kids would go to the company Christmas party they had for kids up there. And we'd also do a lot of shopping in New Ken. But as we got older, we were too big for the Christmas party. And it was easier for us to go shopping at the "new" malls that were built in Monroeville and the North Hills. (Yeah I know... I'm gettin OLD... (((sigh))) )

oooh, that had to hurt!

Though I'm kinda surrprised it took someone so long to make this move ... does #24 sound like reasonable motive, in addition to the pandering?

Ya'll take care.

Hey, don't give the council idiots any ideas. With all the bridges in Pittsburgh, I'm sure they can find a way to name them after some of Carson's "partners in crime" that you noted!

How about a memorial for the uncounted millions of dead who died of insect borne diseases who would otherwise have lived if it wasn't for this woman and her crusade against a beneficial chemical.

Yeah. 24 makes a lot of sense. It's just sad to see Eileen taken in by their garbage. Even if she didn't know the harm that would occur, it still happened. It's nothing to memorialize.
