I was born at AGH, while my father was in a bar on Federal Street waiting for news of my arrival.

On the side of the Parkway because your mom waited too long to leave for Magee is also acceptable.

I had a friend whose wife while in labor at Magee told him to go get breakfast. So instead of the hospital cafeteria he walked to Primanti's. Did not make it back in time.

I did the calculations myself and did some rounding; there may be some errors, but that's a rough estimate.
Hmm, that is an interesting stat. Maybe I am blinded by my circles and I could be persuaded into changing my mind completely. Actually, I think you may have done that with your post. I do love statistics and BOOM you laid some on me.

I wil have to think about this a bit. Thanks.

Meh. Would have been hard to enjoy it in the delivery room anyway.

I'm no fan of Primantis, but even I'll concede it beats hospital food.

Now, if we're talking true Pittsburgh cred, if it's breakfast, I question why he wouldn't have gone to Pamela's, which is at least two blocks closer.

Being an east coast import, I would've probably opted for Campus Deli

In Pittsburgh, the response was so over the top, it would have embarrassed Cam Newton.
While all of this is true...The City of Champions and City of Black and Gold has kept da 'burgh on the map for decades.
