So the other day I announced on this blog that I was sad that Myron Cope died and I was heading over to Bubba’s (“The Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers”) in Warrenton to have a beer and commiserate with some Steeler fans about it. I deleted the post the next day because 1) it wasn’t art related, and this site is about me making arty things. 2)I was afraid it made me seem like I have a drinking problem, which I do not. I do happen to enjoy going out for a pint every now and again. Here’s a pic of Bubbas:
So I did. I went to Bubba’s and this is what I saw:
Very convincing, I thought, in terms of your typical Pittsburgh bar, The wierd thing is when I try to think of a bar in Pittsburgh that looks like this, I can’t really think of one. It’s like a mixture between the Apple Inn in Dormont and a Pizza Outlet. And I come to find out that there are 1.) No Steeler Fans/Pittsburghers present (not
only were there no fans, but that nice young man in the red jacket
smiling at the camera said he didn’t even like football!!! Can you believe it?)
2.)The owners of this bar are not from Pittsburgh 3.) Art Rooney (III?) endorsed
the bar. 4) Sadly, no one I asked even KNEW who Myron Cope was. And
I asked SEVERAL people. It was like a very bad dream in which I felt
like I was at home (i.e. in a Pittsburgh themed bar) surrounded by
aliens.
So if you don’t know who Myron Cope is, here is a video for you:
PS – The man is a LEGEND.
