Quoted from swampfire:We were walking around and found this college-age guy in khakis and an iZod shirt laying face up. He was so drunk he didn't even try to talk to us, just handed us his wallet and said "help, home". We flagged down a cop who took care of him. Crazy but really fun night.
Sooo...apparently Pittsburgh has not changed much...still a great party town
Back in 1985 I was a freshman in college living in downtown Pittsburgh. We used to have parties on Lockhart St. on the North Side every weekend. One night I was trying to make in back to my dorms, and I "fell down". Somehow I forgot how to "get up", and managed to grind my face along the sidewalk while trying. Eventually, my friends managed to get me back to the dorms. The next morning when I came to, I had a scab from my forehead down to the tip of my nose. Needless to say, a few days later on Thanksgiving break, my parents seemed less than enthusiastic about the money they were spending on my edumikation........ ........I'm pleased to report that I finally received my degree at a ceremony held at The David Lawrence Convention Center!
On a pinball note.....I used to play all the great late 80's games everyday at Smithfield News, on the corner of Smithfield St. and Blvd of the Allies........wonder if they still have any pins on location.
