DeAngelis donuts, YUM. I also miss Orams (sp) donuts off of 7th ave in Beaver Falls. They also made really good hard rolls too. Terrible pizza was also on 7th ave... D&G's, yuck! I remember my future wife to be's perplexed look while she watched them make nothing but cheese pizzas, then add toppings to order. Need an underage drink... I remember hitting Gabby's in BF when I was 16 no problem.

Every time we go back, for the last 10 years the first thing my daughter wants is Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe chili cheese fries. I go for the Luger/BF meats bologna.

Jerry's is killer, and while in that neck of the woods I would also go to Bert's wooden Indian... Damn, I love those burgers and malts! When I worked in Aliquippa, a Quip steak salad was always a good option.

Dang, I love Hanks' frozen custard (Black Cherry), and when in Chippewa it was the cow for frozen custard.

Wow, all that great rust belt food! Here in the Midwest, I still have to tell the grocery store checkout girl what the onion looking stuff I'm buying is... Garlic

I forgot about Bert's! My sainted mother in law loved their barbecue on a roll. Mom would invariably drop some of it down her front. Pop would laugh and say I can't take Mama anywhere...

Kinda funny -- even today, if you offered me a fine dining experience at a top flight restaurant or a dive at a bowling alley -- I'd bring my ball and shoes. The ball is purple, and it has my name engraved on it... Jean...

Luger's sold their company -- the meats are now being made by someone else, but all the deli people know what you want... bad news... they changed the recipes. The square jumbo was SO salty...

And I never had a DeAngelis donut. Brent loved bismarcks, so that's what we got. From Kretchmars. We even have a Kretchmar's mug.

I know what you mean about clerks... I bought a skein of yarn at Michaels to finish out an afghan I was crocheting, and the girl held it up and asked... what are you yarning?

Never had DeAngelis? Your life is incomplete! The next time you are back, got there! There is a store, I believe in Rochester, near enough to Cranberry, where I believe it is you visit.

I am coming back in early September for 4 days... Brent has picked up so many properties that there's no way he can wedge in the Plaza for too long... so I can't take a week. I would have really loved to take TWO!!!!

I am telling everyone that I am getting some Buzzi's.... so I can hit the DeAngelis in Rochester.

We would have probably gone there when we lived in Monaca, but we moved in and a few days later they closed the Rochester Monaca bridge... and we lived right on 9th -- so getting to Rochester was very round about... and with my husband's love of pizza, we went to Buzzi's. A LOT.

Wow, cool pics, I will have to use them for my web site, Mill-Hunky.com, I am trying to keep alive in memory that way of life and traditions to give to my children and so my grandfathers hard work was not in vane. I think I even have a pic of the hot dog shoppe sign ;-) It really is not very big yet but I have a bunch of Pittsburgh recipes, pictures and stories. You can join or not and write your own stuff etc.

amazing stories...think of the thousands of families that depended on those places and now nothing more than rusty shells. Those pictures seem make it seem like people must have worked there centuries ago. Its hard to believe these were the places that made this nation run in my lifetime.
