Mad Mex, Oakland. Saturday Night.
College Guy #1: You know that Pittsburgh is the only ‘burgh in America to still have an H in it’s name? We survived Postal Standardization, AND Pinkertons.
College Guy #2: Actually, Edinburgh, Indiana has an H too…
College Guy #3: Indiana’s not part of MY America.
Overheard in Pittsburgh TrueFact™: Pittsburgh was the FIRST to reclaim its “H”, not the only. As more more cities reach their centennials and bicentennials, the the amateur historians of each lobby to restore the original name. Check out Robert Krulwich’s great story on the subject from NPR.
Overheard in Pittsburgh NerdFact™: Called New York City’s ugly step-sisters, Gotham and Metropolis actually are implied to be located in New Jersey.
That’s a nice nerd-fact. I’m waiting for there to be some kind of massive cross-over comic- METROPOLIS FIGHTS GOTHAM- AND NYC is THE PRIZE!
