Count Down to the Super Bowl

Steeler fan and the gnomeImage by daveynin via FlickrThere is a whole lot of reporting and blogging going on about the game next Sunday.  They are filled with Steeler and Pittsburgh love  Here are a few links that are worth a look…

OneForTheOtherThumb.com – “These are the non-sensical ramblings of a man obsessed with the Pittsburgh Steelers.”  This is some serious  Steeler’s love.  Help him decide where he should watch the big game here.

St. Petersburg Times article on the Steelers connection to Pittsburgh “Bond between Steelers, city unmistakable.” This sentance from the article sums it up…

But the Steelers? They are Pittsburgh.

Post-Gazette Coverage on Steelers gear – you can order Terrible Towel chocolate bars.

Pittsburgh Food Delivered – Tribune Review article on other items you can have shipped anywhere in the US (and maybe  farther – can you ship food outside of the US?) Mineo’s Pizza, Pieorgies, Mancini’s Bread

Facie’s Ramblings – Black and Gold Smiley Cookies are here.

But that is beauty of being a Steelers fan and part of Steeler Nation; you just know your team is going to go back to the Super Bowl again. Sure, it might take a few years, maybe even a dozen or so. But it will happen.
Our nation has a new president (more on that later). But more importantly, Steeler Nation has a big week ahead. As a local resident of Steeler Nation, I will continue to listen to the various fight songs on the radio and watch the endless news clips about the game, players, etc. And I will wear Steelers gear as much as possible throughout the next eight (hopefully nine or ten) days.

Blogski is blog speak for the Polish Hill Civic Association

Photo shows view of Immaculate Heart of Mary C...Image via WikipediaThis week must be all about Polish Hill (see my post on the Polish Hill signs and read about my run in with the police here).  I would like to think I do a pretty good job of keeping track of Pittsburgh blogs but I just found this one today.

Blogski is the website and blog for this Polish Hill Civic Assocaition and it is one of the best Neighborhood blogs I have seen.  Blogski has information about events, businesses and articles of interest to Polish Hill.   This is a great resource for all things Polish Hill and all things polish in Pittsburgh (you can even read the Blogski in polish).

They even sell pierogie ornaments!!!! I am ordering one, well maybe a dozen, it just seems like pierogie’s should be talked about by the dozen!  (Why have I not seen these before!!)

I can still wish you a Merry Christmas!

The prizeImage by caseywest via FlickrIt has been a busy busy holiday season and I didn’t get a chance to post this video before December 25. But since today is technically Christmas – if you are Eastern Orthodox, then I can still write about Christmas. I even found a message board that lists some Eastern Orthodox services in Western, Pa. You can also go to St. Nicholas in Homestead for Christmas services on Jan. 7.

I am posting this great commercial from Eat N’Park for two reasons

  1. it is just great and should be watched every year
  2. it gives me a chance to highlight the fact that Eat N’Park has blog.  They have even posted about the history of this commercial – the Christmas Star ad has been around for 26 years old.
