I can't stop watching the footage I shot Saturday inside U.S. Steel's historic Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock.

As part of its 150th anniversary celebration, U.S. Steel gave journalists incredibly rare access to film a tour of the mill, Andrew Carnegie's first.

The best photobomb I have ever experienced.

I’ve been using… years… copy link… screenshot…

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

This... this is the correct reporter/PR take.

The golden rule is a beautiful thing!

[Ben Mullin @BenMullin]

My (very late) PR take: reporters shouldn’t be dismissive of the people who have all the information.

And remember: Good reporters and PR people both spend a hefty portion of their days launching phone calls and emails into the void.

There is a measure of solidarity in the rejection we must all endure to get our jobs done.

(I must include myself in this because as a 13-year-old I called into this same radio station)

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

Sports radio callers are truly something else.

[Buzz @BuzzWIP]

I still can’t believe this happened.

For those who missed it, the full Corey in Germantown phone call into my show on @SportsRadioWIP last night:

Fog is covering Downtown Pittsburgh this morning, with just the tops of buildings sticking out as seen from the north.

The last leaves to hit peak color on trees at Pittsburgh's Point State Park this year are coincidentally the first ones people see when they walk in.

Pittsburgh sunset 🚨

WWI Memorial Toppled: Security camera footage captured a semi truck knocking over a World War I monument in Pittsburgh's Troy Hill neighborhood before speeding off early Sunday morning.

"It was bleeding into my dream," said neighbor Josh Brower of the sound.

Quite the difference a week makes in the fall.

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

My favorite tree in Point State Park right now.

(Not just because I'm a Syracuse 🍊 alum)

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

@PresbyXian The atmosphere giveth and takith away.

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

Trees in Pittsburgh's Point State Park lost a lot of leaves in the few days I was out of town.

The streak of beautiful days is unfortunately over.

Here's the wide shot showing my vantage point on aptly named Pittview.

@CarnivoryHODL @DanteFurco @Teagannbrownn The sandwiches are great, though!

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

After 100 years in the Dellas family, Varsity Pizza in Syracuse will change hands next month.

I sincerely hope not a thing changes.

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

@DanteFurco @Teagannbrownn You're right. It's not good pizza.

But, it was OUR pizza.

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

@OrangeChuck I remember & I miss it.

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

@barstoolsports It's 88 degrees now in the Dome. (BTW - We are supposed to get air conditioning in two years)

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

I personally do not remember the JMA Dome being this cold inside.

Syracuse fans, we should all chant "TURN OFF THE AC."

[Ricky Sayer @RickyReports]

Dome sweet home.

Go Orange! #Syracuse
