    “Move over, New York and Chicago — one Midwest pizza style is taking over”

    Best Pizza in Ohio - Brier Hill pizza from the Youngstown area. Nothing like the so-called Midwestern pizza. Worst pizza in Ohio - Columbus area pizza (e.g. Donatos) which sucks a$$. Who cuts a round pie into squares? We used to request it to be cut into pie cut. If they refused or did it...

    Penn State Insider on Facebook

    I still use my compuserve email since I have so many things tied to it. Signed up for it in 1992 I believe. The good old days of the bulletin boards, lol.

    Biltmore Estate

    I toured it around 1970, I believe shortly after they started tours. It was very interesting, but that was a long time ago and I was just a kid. I had planned to visit it again in 2017, but my mother passing away during the trip on our way there ended those plans.

    '26 NFL FA Thread

    Ratbirds will get away with this underhanded deal because Rodger is BFF’s with the team’s owner. However, this paints the Ratbirds as a scumbag organization with the rest of the league and they won’t have many friends in the future.

    Now the Kids are about out of the house? Thinkng of moving to Center City, Phila? Anybody live there?

    I stay away as far as possible from centers of cities if I can. I prefer rural or edge of rural areas.

    OT tests to predict future success.....

    That is a ridiculous take on mathematical success with regard to the SAT from whatever source that proposed it. I had a slightly below average verbal but did really did well on math. I did well in math as well at Penn State, which was in the engineering and science major level series in...

    OT-Any Home Theater or Audiophile folks out there?

    I have downsized my setup over the years. I have a Sony ES receiver running 5.1 surround sound. I really don’t need more channels than that. Front speakers are my 1985 Ohm Walsh 4’s which still sound absolutely incredible, Polk center channel speaker and ceiling mounted Mirage speakers for...

    OT: Blue Crabs

    I used to go to eat blue crabs when I lived in Lower Slower. Lazy Susan’s was one of the places. Don’t know if any of the places we used to get them in the Lewis-Rehoboth area exist anymore. Unfortunately there are really no places here in the Sarasota-Venice Florida area that I know of that...

    Official Super Bowl LX ('26) game thread

    Great halftime show for me. I watched a JHS pedals YouTube video about the the Big Muff 2 guitar pedal. Much better than than the garbage bunny poop halftime show put on by the NFL.

    Wrestling question

    They used to own 45+ McDonalds in NE Ohio and NW PA including Erie. They used to buy their food by the trainload from approved suppliers and warehouse it. Then McDonald’s told them they had to buy from McDonalds only with no exceptions, so they sold all their franchises. They approached...

    Wrestling question

    At first I thought the match was in Youngstown as there is a Covelli Center there at YSU. I forgot the Covelli’s also donated money for the one on the OSU campus. Covelli’s were my parents friends but were not as wealthy then (back in the 70s) as they are now as they have built up their...
