Keystone State Thread

thx. i took it down.

no way for me to post in classified as of yet.

 

You mean jagoffs?

 

your squad make playoffs?

 

It happens but not all that common. Normal happens when people have to much weight or things hanging off the mirror. I doubt the riser is the cause of it. Could of just been faulty glass.

 

Haha yes, originally.

 

One of my favorite Pittsburghese words. My dad used it freely and regularly. I have early memories of hearing it.

 

You guys in Pittsburgh, why do you say Pop and not Soda?
My wife’s family is with the Pop, I’m like what?
You know, coke,sprite??
You mean Soda right…..
Love it

 

Of course, this is the same family that has a pig roast each year, underground and has a trailer towed beer dispenser brought in. 3 kegs chilled. Kind of modern for you good old boys
Think if I disagree, I may be buried in the nearby hills.
I don’t disagree and my wife tells me to keep quiet and enjoy. Which I do
What a life.

 

Lol. Soda is Carbinated water . Now add flavor syrup then u got pop.
You can avoid the controversy and drink Reymer's Blennd !

 

Rhemers blend, by the PA macaroni company? Yeah, been to the strip in Pittsburgh may times and seen it.
The strip is what 9th street in Philly SHOULD be but not.
It’s Crap compared to the strip in Pittsburgh
Stop in DeLucas for breakfast and have a full day looking around and eating more then you wanted

 

Don't know why. It's just the way it always been. they say pop in the Buffalo area as well.

 

DeLuca's is my go to place for breakfast when I am in the Strip.

 

I found this online:
Why do some places call soda pop?



They say the term "soda pop" is traced back to the 1800s when seltzer water came into production and tasty carbonated beverages were eventually served at soda fountains in drug stores. Their report indicates "pop" itself caught on as slang, and was prominently used in northern states like Minnesota and Wisconsin

 

Happens to be my last name…no relation but yes, the place to go when you’re there

 

Another good place is kelly o's at 24th st. Was called Jo Jo's when I was an apprentice, good diner grub.

 

Will have to hit it next time there. Wife’s family is good going where ever if I ask considering each time the come here, they want cheesesteaks.
They show up 10 or 11 at night after the four hour drive, suitcase hits the living room floor and all I hear is “cheesesteak”
We’re in Philly at midnight going to two or more places. One likes Pats, one likes Jim’s, before it burnt down a month ago, and we try a new place just for comparison.
Long night but we have fun

 

just to ask you Philly folks on this site……and I know your out there,
who has the best cheesesteaks?
Just trying to start that war

 

Dalessandro's hands down IMO!

Second would be Big Joe's Sandwich Shop in Essington (Tinicum Township, near the airport). It's a hole in the wall place, but damn he's got good food!

 

Jays joint… the Fireman or Pretzel Roll Cheesesteak

(also provides Gluten free options for those who have that issue)
