A Red Light on the West End Bridge

I don’t like the shaky sensation of the bridge vibrating and feeling movement when you have to stop on it!

The light at the end of the bridge was red today as we left town.

My friend Vincie clued me in on this route to avoid going through the Ft. Pitt Tunnel.

It was Friday afternoon and there was traffic. We were headed for Ohio. Such threatening skies and heavy rain, so heavy we stopped for a bite to eat in West Virginia as we travelled the two hundred miles to Columbus. Happy we got there safely.

Here’s what I saw as we sat at the light-

Sweet Struffoli

A festive dessert for holidays.

“**Struffoli**, also known as Honey Balls, is a Neapolitan dish made of deep fried balls of sweet dough.”

Throwback Payphone

My friend Vincie and I were eating lunch at Totin’s Diner on Route 19. I had a breakfast at the counter just last Friday and enjoyed it. We were in the area and I said you’ve got to see this retro vibe. The boomerang design Formica top table , the red vinyl chrome chairs, the counter, the booths, the artwork and a classic checkerboard floor.

She ordered Liver and Onions and said it was very good. Had enough real mashed potatoes for a couple of meals.

Look what she spotted as she sat facing this direction. She encouraged me to photograph it for the blog. Good call.

Ooops- This has to be a replica Vincie noticed as we were leaving, it’s not rotary but push button!
