Pity Pittsburgh. The Steelers are not having a good year and don't even get me started on the Pirates. I got to wear my baseball jersey out of pride rather than defiance for the first time since Barry Bonds left for free agency - and then the first week of August arrived and they remembered they were the Pirates.
It's not even great to be a bridge in the Steel City which, since there is really no steel any more, is more accurately a City of Bridges.
Outside the city, in North Beaver township, thieves just stole a 50-foot-long bridge. The whole thing. It was a private bridge and made of corrugated steel. Value? About $100,000.
