Steel City Pizzeria
Tonight we decided to check out "Steel City Pizzeria" in Spring, Tx. It's about a 45 minute drive to Spring (just south of The Woodlands). We were already heading over to Target about a 1/4 of the way, so we said, "What the heck." The Steelers are all set for the Super Bowl tomorrow, so we wanted to get some good karma going.
The place was great. Black and Gold everywhere. Lots of flat screens with the Penguins game on and lots of Super Bowl coverage. As we looked around the place, it was pretty obvious that there were a lot of displaced Pittsburghers in there. They had that hardened Western Pa look. Norma said, "I feel like we are in Pittsburgh."
The food was excellent. We got a large Deluxe Pizza (it said, "Look Out Loretta!" under the title in the menu - a nod to Pens announcer Mike Lange.) The pizza was loaded with tons of toppings. Aidan ate a few of the cheesey bread sticks and then a couple of pieces of pizza, too. He was real hungry.
The best part for me was all of the memorabilia throughout the place. The posters, signs (the best were the "You are in Steelers Country" ones just like the ones I grew up seeing at Three Rivers Stadium.), and hats that lined the walls. I had to ask the waitress at the end of the meal how long this place had been open. She said this was their second year. I was relieved because I used to work like 5 miles away from the place five years ago in The Woodlands. I don't think I would have been able to live with myself if she would have said, "Oh we have been here for like 10 years." :)
They were erecting a huge tent in the parking lot for the Super Bowl tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be packed with people. There is no doubt that we'll go back again sometime for a baked hoagie and some pop. (Only people from Pittsburgh would understand that's a heated sub and soda) Now we just have to hope a little bit of good karma rubbed off and it helps the Steelers beat the Cardinals tomorrow. :)

Feeling a little "home sick."
I was jumping around the internet tonight looking for some Steeler news. I came across this somehow and it made me feel a little homesick (although a lot of it is poorly done and hard to read). Brings back memories.
