76-Second Travel Show: "What's the Deal with Pittsburgh?" (CANCELLED)

Episode #005

A recent visit to champion city (last year's Super Bowl and Stanley Cup ribbons reside in Pittsburgh) loomed with potential.

For once we could find out:

• How do locals enjoy the three rivers?
• When two rivers meet to make a third, isn't that really just two rivers?
• Why is the Ohio River named "Ohio" and not "Pennsylvania" (where it begins) or "Illinois" (where it ends)? Seriously.
• Why is there that "h" at the end of Pittsburgh? We noticed Charles Dickens spelled it "Pittsburg" in his book "American Notes." And he's the guy behind Tiny Tim.
• The history and background of the city any good?
  
• Hey, what's a great local diner for breakfast?
• Where does one see local concerts? Preferably outdoors?
  
• While we're at it, any interesting wall art or public sculptures to see?

But Pittsburgh, and in particular country star Kenny Chesney, did not cooperate with SSTS plans for a civic look into Pennsylvania's second-biggest city.

As a unsurprising result, the producers of the "76-Second Travel Show" ban Kenny Chesney and his agent from viewing or participating in our program for three months.
