There are six active Oscar Meyer wienermobiles in the United States. The first one was created in 1936. You can track them on the highlighted link. Steve saw this one on Liberty Avenue at Millvale Avenue corner today. I’m sorry I missed the scene. It was right across from the Mellon Pavilion, he said.
Each mobile is run by two brand ambassadors called “hotdoggers” the license plates are “License plates: Each vehicle has a unique identifier plate: YUMMY, OURDOG, WNRMBLE, RELSHME, OCRMYR, and WEENR.”
It all started when I went to photograph a little glass jar of anchovies at Bloomfield Groceria. It happened to be Wednesday. The special is Famous Meat Ball on Italian Roll.
After the tinned fish tasting post I was seeking jarred fish examples Meet Rick. He’s been the owner of the business for 7 years and is celebrating. His wife baked all of these delicious cookies. I bought the Famous MeatBall Hoagies today My friend Tookie set her luncheon table beautifully, highlighting Rick’s Famous Meat Ball Hoagie. The cookies were from Groceria. There’s a wide array of frozen ravioli and other Italian specialities, too I chose a Lemon Ginger cookie! so good ❤️
My son Matthew took this photo for me. I asked him to. Not supposed to touch phone while driving in car, even if stopped. Spotted on the way to the barbershop this early morning
There are many brick homes in Pittsburgh. One house up the street has eleven different colors of brick but the brick is not painted- it’s the color of the brick.
Difficult to miss a structure of painted brick when it’s as bright as this color. I was walking after I dropped off Steve’s car.
Seems there is more negative than positive about painting brick. But you can stain it, lime wash it or use some special masonry paint.
One of the negatives-
“Trapped Moisture: …..brick is porous. This means it has tiny holes that allow moisture vapor to pass through in both directions, helping to regulate humidity and prevent moisture from being trapped within the walls. This is why brick is often referred to as a material that “breathes.” Painting it creates a barrier, trapping moisture inside the brick, which can lead to: ___________________From an Article the Dos and Don’ts of Painted Brick
This is the only example I have photographed. I’ll keep an eye out
Last week Steve brought home a quart of Potato Leek soup. Oh was it so good on a seriously cold winter night! He bought it at Brothmonger– Pittsburgh Based Soup Cafe
It’s almost right across the street diagonally (in the next block) from West Penn Hospital in the Bloomfield Neighborhood.
Ingredients are listed for all the soups as well as symbols if the soups are Vegetarian, Gluten Free, or Vegan options. In the Grab n Go Fridge there was a White Chicken Chili available, a Curry, Clam Chowder, Stuffed Pepper and the Broccoli Cheddar.

Steve was in the back of a Bloomfield Citizens council pick up truck,with another memberof the Lion’s Club, throwing candy to the kids along the parade route.
A nice woman in the truck was in a Bluey costume and everyone was excited to see Bluey although she had a bit of trouble seeing out of the costume!
