Indeed Olde Frothingslosh is the stale pale ale. I fear I'm showing my age here! :-)
Anyone else recall the leap over the Bridge to Nowhere?(The one over the Allegheny...not the one that Sarah Palin fought in Alaska).
Pittsburgh had a real "Bridge to Nowhere." The main span of the Fort Duquesne Bridge over the Allegheny River was completed in 1963. Land for the approaches had not been acquired, so the bridge stayed like this for five years.
The bridge was finally completed in 1968. It now carries Interstate Highway I-279. There are two decks of traffic.
Remember it very well. I used to do a little partying up on that bridge before they finished it. It was a cool place to just walk around. Today, you would be road kill in 5 seconds. ;~))
I remember when the drunk college kid drove through the barricades and then went off the end of the bridge and landed in the river. Amazingly, he didn't even get hurt. That's when Cordic started his Bridge Jump skits on the radio.
