They periodically wake up and try to get Pittsburgh to vacate Bigelow Blvd 
between Forbes and Fifth. Turns out that one of the qualifications for 
being a Pitt student is forgetting how to cross a street, and the school 
is too cheap to bridge the street like they did Forbes between the quad 
and the cleanser cans.

But hey, I lost any love I had for them when the Syria Mosque came down.
