The De-”h”-ification of Pittsburgh???

October 24, 2006 Chris

“We’ve got Fort Pitt. We made it (Pittsburgh) grow, it’s a wonderful place now, and you took away our h. Who the h*** are you”?

Ever look at old maps, from around the turn of the last century, and wonder where our h went? Well, I don’t know if many of you iheart-ers know this story, but I heard this on morning today. Thought I’d share (go 2 mins into the radio stream if you don’t want to hear the setup). Btw, Roger Kruwlich is a great storyteller if you’re interested in listening to his other pieces.
