@rorylockhart @wqed Do you know a bigger one? Those kinds of claims are often made. And everyone waits for counter-challenges.
Ligonier Beach was pretty huge but it has closed.

Turn on WQED? A couple classic shows this afternoon! Starting with one of my favorites: HOUSES AROUND HERE. Now!

Tonight @BottlerocketPgh we’re screening our @wqed documentary @PBSFood special titled A HOT DOG PROGRAM. Some folks are sporting their “Sebak Is My Homeboy” t-shirts and @mikeasper even has Sebak socks! (Rumor has it that there are 3 pairs in existence.)

[Rick Sebak @rickaroundhere]

This sounds like a good idea! Turn on @wqed!

Coming up on WQED Pittsburgh in just a few minutes: THINGS THAT ARE STILL HERE from 1999! Lots of cool spots (several of which have disappeared or closed in the intervening years!) but still fun to watch! Tune in now?!

Marianna is a borough in Washington County, Pennsylvania & was built as a mining town for the Pittsburgh Buffalo Company in 1907. Our own @rickaroundhere takes you on a tour of the "company houses" in this week's #TuesdayTimeMachine video! 🏡 #HousesAroundHere

Walking along E Swissvale Avenue this morning, I laughed.

It’s a big day at WQED FM as the radio station turns 50 years old! All classical all the time! with Jim Cunningham kicking things off just moments ago at 6 AM. A big day full of guests and beautiful music. Tune in all day!

I ran into Chris Snyder recently and he asked if I might have a copy of his promo for KENNYWOOD MEMORIES. I didn’t remember it. He said he lost his old VHS copy. Well, I never throw anything away, and I recently found the tape with uncut video of his several takes. He’s good.

When it comes to #Pittsburgh nostalgia, nothing quite hits like @rickaroundhere's 1988 ode to summer, "Kennywood Memories!" Check out this newly-unearthed, wave swingin' WQED #TuesdayTimeMachine video! 🤣🎢🍟🍦🖤💛 https://t.co/4V9p3TvXl1 @Kenny_Kangaroo

@shawnomancy Ooh. Good question. It’s from the early 1970s. Still seen in parts of our building. Let me see what I can find out.

@Justin1194 Someone loves you!

France’s President Emanuel Macron is having dinner tonight at The White House in DC. It’s fun to remember when he had dinner at Mad Mex at the corner of Bates and Atwood Streets in Oakland 16 years ago!
Thanks to Mark Houser!

Tomorrow afternoon I get to be a judge. I’m hoping for some riblicious delights. Stop by if you’ve got some afternoon hunger! #ribs
