It's the G-20 economic summit here in the burg; virtual ghost town other than far too many protesters trying to take our city hostage! Jon has worked from home all week, as has everyone in the corporate offices at USX Towers down town. Nearly every business in the city has made contingency plans considering the rivers and roads are closed to thru traffic. Hey, gotta get those world leaders around to and from without incident - right?! BUT, we had tickets to two Pirates games which happened to fall during the summit so we braved the waters and went on down to route for the home boys! THE coolest ball park in the nation over looking the city skyline but THE worst team in the league I think. What can I say, we've got the Steelers and the Pens so I guess it's not fair that we keep all of the glory in the burg! It's great fun having three professional sports teams to route for!
Nevertheless, we were told there were 2,500 cops (plain clothes and otherwise) in and around PNC Park; never felt so safe! Jon and I enjoyed dinner at the Lexus Club prior to each game and then seats five rows up from home plate, it was a riot. Even if one is not fond of baseball it is delightful to spend time at the park eating Cracker Jack and singing 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game'. Hey G-20 we want our city back!
