The City of Pittsburgh is crazy today
Today is the parade for our Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The parade doesn’t start until noon but people started migrating towards downtown at 9am. That doesn’t count the people who started lining up at 5 and 6am for prime spots near the grandstand. Did I mention that it’s cold (of course) and it’s snowing?!?! That’s Steelers fans though. It could be a blizzard and there would be people out there.
The city is estimating that there will be 250,000 people there today. The same amount as last time and almost 45% of the population of the city. Craziness man. The suckiest part? I have to take my exam today so I have to leave work at noon. I’ll be in the thick of the crowd (but going in the opposite direction), and I’ll miss the whole thing.
At least I’ll be able to catch the rebroadcast tonight on television.
