Feb. 12, 2008 ~ Slideshow: Stockdale fire hall commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stockdale Record Hops
 |
|
|
On Saturday nights at the Stockdale fire hall in Washington County, young Romeos only had eyes for perky girls clad in form-fitting dresses or sweaters and skirts and bouffant hair. It was, after all, the age of Aqua Net hair spray. Fifty cents bought admission to the week's biggest social event, which often featured live performances by popular recording stars and, if you were lucky, a few smooches with your sweetie.

Jan. 31, 2008 ~ Meaningless loss ... maybe, Ravens 27, Steelers 21
 |
|
|
The game meant nothing; but what happened on the field did mean something. Too many things are not working and Saturday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars is not that far away.
"Ready or not, here we come," coach Mike Tomlin said. "We didn't like our performance the last time we played those guys, taking nothing away from them."

 |
|
|
Earlier this month construction started on the second phase of the Boulevard of the Allies project.

Now, the two bridges on the Boulevard are being brought down to make way for the $29 million interchange improvement project.
And as a resident of Ophelia Street, South Oakland, I have a front row seat for all the demolition action ... and accompanying noise.

Jan. 6, 2008 ~ Painful defeat ends playoff run
 |
|
|
All it took to end the Steelers' playoff run was one kick ... and a series of mistakes, always at the wrong time and for the wrong team for Steeler fans.
After fighting back from an 18 point deficit, the Steelers' No. 1-ranked defense failed to hold the lead. Now the off season is here and the words, "next year" can be heard throughout the Steelers Nation.

Dec. 4, 2007 ~ Holiday Harvest
 |
|
|
Indiana County, northeast of Pittsburgh, is the focal point of a truly green industry.
Each year around this time, whirling chain-saw blades bite into the aromatic, sap-laden wood of blue spruces and other conifers destined for places of honor as the family Christmas tree.
So break out the garland and ornaments. The harvest has begun.

Oct. 14, 2007 ~ Slideshow: Not so super a decade
|
|
|
The Steelers began the decade as four times Super Bowl winners. By the end of the '80s, they would still be searching for the "One for the thumb."
Quarterbacks came and went. The old guard of the Super Bowl years would play their final games and move on to "their life's work" as coach Chuck Noll would put it.
Presentation by Lizabeth Gray and Jim Mendenhall, photography by the Associated Press and the Steelers
Oct. 2, 2007 ~ Slideshow: The Steelerettes ... Memories from a bygone era
 |
|
|
Four decades ago, a group of young women from Pittsburgh made sports history when they became professional football's first cheerleaders. The Steelerettes made their debut in 1961, and for nearly a decade brought color and spirit to games played by mostly losing Steelers teams.

Sept. 30, 2007 ~ Slideshow: Not the same old, same old
 |
|
|
"Lots of characters," mused Dick Hoak, who was a rookie running back in 1961 and a witness to history before he collected five Super Bowl rings as the longest-tenured assistant coach in franchise history.
It started with uncomplicated times that conjured images of Camelot. Bill Mazeroski's home run slew the Yankees. A new president played touch football on the White House lawn.

Sept. 16, 2007 ~ Slideshow: Pirates, Steelers, buy, sell
 |
|
|
First there was the name change. Then came the big sell. Not much later there was the swap. War was upon the counrty and Pittsburgh and its steel industry played a major part in the war effort.
While the 40s saw many other short-lived NFL teams fade away, the Steelers merged with the Philadephia Eagles to create the war-time "Steagles." Officially the team was called the Phil-Pitt Eagles-Steelers Combine.

But in the darkness of the time a National Football League team brought about the birth of a new nation ... the Steelers Nation.

Eleven weeks after his inauguration, Pittsburgh Mayor Bob O'Connor and key staff began working with a consultant to develop a one-page statement of 45 goals and strategies for the young administration. The final version of the mayor's vision for the city arrived in his office in early August 2006 -- just as O'Connor was hospitalized for what would be diagnosed as a rare central nervous system lymphoma. He died Sept. 1, 2006.

 |
|
|
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICALS: The first happy explosion of the high school musical season was last weekend, when 16 schools came blasting out of the starting gate. Included among them was Shaler Area High School's "Grease," which is being performed again tomorrow and Saturday. This presentation includes pictures from the opening night preparation and performance. But there's nothing like live theater, so check it out for yourself, if you can get in, that is. The rush was such that some folks were reportedly turned away at Sunday's matinee.

Jan. 31, 2007 ~ 2006 Steelers' slideshow and video presentations
 |
|
|
2006 was a year of unexpected changes for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the departure of running back Jerome Bettis and a scary motorcycle accident involving quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, fans and players alike entered the new season with confidence. They were shocked when the defending champions of Super Bowl XL staggered to a 2-6 start. Then, just as the team remembered how to win, questions began to arise about Coach Bill Cowher's future with the Steelers.

Jan. 25, 2007 ~ Slideshow: Hot spot for an icy harvest
 |
|
|
FOOD: Mazza Vineyards became the first Pennsylvania winery to make a commercial ice wine in 1984. It has produced as many as 4,000 bottles and as few as 600. The 2006 yield will be about 1,000 bottles. Bob Mazza said he considers ice wine to be his flagship. But producing it comes at a price -- spending a bone-chilling pre-dawn morning in the fields, harvesting the grapes before they can be thawed by the sun.
Presentation by Rebecca Droke and Bob Batz Jr.

 |
|

PENGUINS: Sidney Crosby will be 19 years, 5 months, and 17 days old when the puck drops with him at center for the Eastern Conference in the 55th NHL All-Star Game. He's the youngest player voted to a starting spot since fan balloting began in 1986. Anyone who thinks Pittsburgh might have fallen off the hockey map since the Penguins stopped making the playoffs and Mario Lemieux retired should know that Crosby led all players in online All-Star balloting with 825,783 votes. This presentation looks at the magical season and a half leading to Crosby's newest appearance in the international spotlight.

Jan. 14, 2007 ~ Slideshow: Blight for sore eyes
 |
|
|
CITY NEIGHBORHOODS: Pittsburgh's entrance through the Fort Pitt Tunnel might be the Cinderella of first impressions, but more than 13,000 inbound drivers daily are more familiar with one of the ugly stepsisters. Like many highways, Route 51 is a design-free mishmash of malls, strip malls, box stores, auto-service lots, beer stores, tanning salons, roadside bars and disappearing sidewalks, hardly a glass slipper contender. But when it arrives in the city from Whitehall as Saw Mill Run Boulevard, the four-mile stretch to the Liberty Tunnels is so degraded that it could be a parody of blight.
Presentation by Andy Starnes and Diana Nelson Jones
Jan. 7, 2007 ~ The year in pictures
 |
|
|
LIFESTYLE: It was the year that the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl; the year baseball's All-Stars came to town; the year a near-fatal motorcycle accident involving one of the Super Bowl Champs had a happy ending. 2006 was also the year that saw sorrow when only one miner emerged alive from the Sago mine disaster in West Virginia. It was the year grieving residents of Nickel Mines, Lancaster County, consoled each other after a gunman entered a nearby Amish schoolhouse and shot 10 girls, five of them fatally. And it was the year the city mourned the untimely passing of a new mayor -- and friend -- named Bob. It was a year of art and science, and music and dance in a city known for football. These are the some of the stories that will remain with us in images from the Post-Gazette.
