If you like churches, don’t forget about St. Nick’s in Millvale:

As others have pointed out, be sure to take one of the inclines to get there.

There’s the city’s last remaining wooden street:

You are probably right about Brady-as-player. I think the issue here is that King (among others) treats Brady as some sort of wizened sage.

This was a thing in my house growing up, too. If I recall, plain tortillas chips were hard to come by, and my parents certainly won’t going to use Doritos in there. Instead, it was saltines and butter.

I wonder what Porte’s form will be in the summer? He’s been given the reins at BMC during Le Tour. I do, however, suspect, he is getting better training miles than a few of his rivals, given the poor weather they’ve been suffering at the usual pre-season training camps.

I also suspect that many endurance athletes would find Martina’s take unconvincing.

ahh...the best?? look the second half was incredible, but the first half was slow, confusing and well just not that good.

This stands in stark contrast to 50% of Penguins fans who think he is overrated.

I don’t think any other primitive torture device would have become as iconic as the cross, because the cross represents both the suffering Christ endured, and the grace with which he endured that suffering… all for the sake of mankind. Not to go all GREGGGGGG on you, but that’s an important part of the story.

And I’m glad that the people who don’t want to do it, don’t do it.

Oh, come on...that was a pretty impressive nose manual on those big wheels.

I am fairly certain that the cycling community in PGH will pull together and make it happen for him. I’ve been riding and racing in the area for 20+ years, and there are few riders who really span the various cycling sub-cultures (racers, messengers, commuters, rando-types, weekend warriors) like Danny.

I miss Oscar Freire.

Nice still image.

I can’t disagree with this.

Inside Out! I was crying in the parking lot after the movie.

I highly recommend some sort of dynamic warm-up routine, like this one. It’ll take less time for you to actually feel warm once you are running, and the exercises have an added bonus of making you stronger, which will help prevent injury. Yeah, it adds 10 minutes to your workout, but think of it as putting money in…
