[PRCo] Re: Chiodo's tavern streetcar facade

[aprochek at aol.com]

Its a Pittsburgh thing - the PCC face is exactly that - the front of a PCC streetcar that was cut off and somehow ended up on the outside wall of a tavern in Homestead called Chiodo's.  There was a series of articles about the dispensation of Pittsburgh PCC cars in the PTM newsletter and describes which car this came off of and why.  I don't recall which and why and am too lazy to find the article, but its in there and known to a few PRCo fans.  I think the rest of the streetcar ended up with that bizarre LRV front end.  There is also a "face: hanging on the car barn at PTM.
 
Clarification: the Steelers are the best consistant second-rate team in the league.  Could be worse - you think the Browns are bad remember I live in Houston Texas!  However I don' tthink its asking too much after 16 years to expect the Steelers to become THE first rate team at least once.  For God's Sake, even the Ravens (nie Browns) got a super bowl with no offence one year!

Don't know about the "PCC streetcar face." In fact, what is a "PCC streetcar 
face" and who is Chiodo? You think the Steelers are dead..................look 
at the Browns!!!

Chiodo's?  Last I heard he sold out to rite aid or somebody and I was wondering 
what happened to it.  We just lost a similar "junque yard" steak house here in 
Texas to a pharmacy.  Everything in that one is for sale.  Doubt I'll find much 
Pittsburghabilia there however.

me.  I have followed the Cowher era from the start and the older I get the less 
my heart can take it.  Just when you need them to be there for you, you get 
blown coverage, multiple interceptions, and special team meltdowns. The 
offensive line is now (appearing) to play well again, guess how they are going 
to play when they meet a real team in the Playoffs?  Walking away isn't an act 
of a poor fan, its an act of self preservation.   Its time for the younger 
generation (or at least those with BP lower than 140/80) to pick up torch.  Call 
me after they win a Super Bowl.  I'll send a fuitcake.
