For this lovely, long Labor Day 2022 - weekend - we will comment on various fests - currently taking place in hilly, picturesque Pittsburgh - the "star" city of Western Pennsylvania. Everybody who reads our weekly column knows that we date it a couple of weeks ahead so - presently - our West Penn or Western Pennsylvania's "star" city - hilly Pittsburgh - gets ready to celebrate the coming, long Labor Day 2022 weekend. It will feature several prominent sporting events downtown which needs "rejuvenation" of every sort - anyway. This Labor Day 2022 - the organizers promote the "Ribs Fest" which promises all kinds and sizes of smoked, barbecued ribs which taste heavenly with some cold beer.
However - the biggest attraction appears to be the huge college football game between Pittsburgh's - Pitt - University of Pittsburgh and a West Virginia Mountaineers (the neighboring West Virginia University's football team). Thus, the Pitt Panthers - traditionally - play a game of football with West Virginia Mountaineers - which attracts close to 70 thousand people to Pittsburgh's downtown area newly re-named huge - Acrisure Stadium - previously named Heinz Field - for a long time. The game ends with an event - Backyard Brawl to which the tickets are sold - hopefully for charity.
It needs to be noted that Pittsburgh's talk radio hosts - like to make fun of neighboring state West Virginia's lack of sophistication - as if the Pittsburghers don't act "Ga-Ga-Gugu" - impressed - whenever any visiting "national celebrity" mentions their "ties to Pittsburgh" - most likely - in order to sell more tickets or merchandise of some sort.
Back to the huge sporting event on Thurs. Sept. 01 - 2022. The local police's - lady rep - warned people that the horse police as well as tons of extra police will be present so people "don't drink too much or act in a criminal fashion to cause the police's intervention". Enough said - we wouldn't be downtown Pittsburgh on Thurs. Sept. 01 - 2022 - evening - even if anybody would pay us to go.
Important note: the abovementioned sporting event went smoothly - nobody got shot.
At any rate - everybody will have a good, new week - the first week of September 2022! We meet here - a week from today - as every week!
