All Singing, All Dancing, All Photos

So a picture is worth a thousand words, eh? Well, consider today’s installment a 4,000-word essay.

Instead of writing blather, I spent last night trying to fix the comments feature so that you, our Alert Reader, can go back to telling me off directly, rather than emailing me.

That’s the kind of service we’re dedicated to, and it’s why we’ve remained the Mon Valley’s Leading Source of Misinformation Since 1995!

Finally, it's the “McKeesport Weed & Seed Express,” snapped June 29, 2004 in the Christy Park section of Our Fair City. We don’t have an Amtrak stop any more, and PATrain has been gone for 15 years, so this is the best we can do, I suppose.

(Obligatory trivia: If you saw “Dogma,” which runs about every 15 minutes on Comedy Central, the scene inside the bus station was shot at Our Fair City’s former Amtrak station, which also serves as the McKeesport bus terminal for Port Authority.)
