"Yenz No" I grew up a few miles from "The Point" In "The Burgh" where the "Al" and The "Mon" make The "O" and that".
That would Be Pittsburgheise for Living Near Pittsburgh where the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River Meet to make the Ohio.. Grew up boating in all 3 rivers, Fished for carp and catfish where the Heinz Ketchup Plant use to dump there bi-products in the "Al" We use to turn around and peddle our bikes home if we got close and smell Vinegar, The fish would be gone until they changed there dumping to something more desirable.
Me and a lovely lady once had a few hundred people applauding us when one person noticed and told on us having sex in the water where the Al and The Mon meet at the point, mid day, wearing ski jackets only bobbing behind my boat in between breaks in the shows at the Pittsburgh Regatta, about 50 feet from shore..lol..true story, was not planned, just happened.
At the same "Point State Park" I also once landed a parachute for a demonstration skydive for Veterans day Parade, And No I'm not a Veteran just use to skydive a lot, A little over 2,000 jumps actually. One of the most scariest landing area I ever had, Land in a 50 foot area or on people or in the river that my buddies dad died in doing the exact same jump a few years earlier, Pretty trippy. Cruising over the Burgh under canopy I will remember for the rest of my life tho, Super cool.
A buddy lost his V-drive small block Chebby "Mighty Mouse" 300 yards down the Ohio from The Point, He and the Chic He just picked up (And Met) off The point where O.K but he made us drag anchors threw that area the rest of that year when we float and party..lol.
Oh I can go on and on with Burgh Stories..lol.. Blue Skies!!
