N'atchronism

N’atchronism: a chronological misplacing of persons, events, objects, or customs in regard to each other. The item is often an object, but may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a custom, or anything else so closely associated with a particular period in time that it would be incorrect to place it outside of…Pittsburgh. var sc_project=6937180; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_security="23d2a4a4";

A lucky look up from the red light at Friendship and Penn today. The window washers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh were decked out in superhero garb to cheer up patients as they worked their way down the facade. Hard to have a bad day after seeing this. Check out the video of these super "grime fighters" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JS-S5_kOzQ&feature=youtu.be

Lately, I’ve seen a lot of my fellow Pittsburghers posting links to a web series on youtube called Pittsburgh Dad. While I enjoy a good display of Pittsburghese as much as the next guy, I feel like there’s a much better Pittsburghese-themed web series out there. That series, is called Greg and...
