The Steelers are thinking of resigning Plaxico Burress. What do you think about this?
Plaxico Burress dined twice with the Steelers at Saint Vincent College today and while he did not talk to the press, it appears it may come down to an AFC championship game matchup for his services: the Steelers vs. the New York Jets.

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”
-Erma Bombeck
We wish everyone a Happy 4th of July!
It’s the Fourth of July weekend and for Pittsburghers, that means it’s time for the Three Rivers Regatta! Check out the link for all the details this year for the event that runs from Saturday to Monday. This is just a fun way to spend the holiday weekend.
The 34th annual—all FREE—EQT Pittsburgh Three Rivers Regatta is the tri-state's most anticipated summertime event... and rightfully so. Every year, over 600,000 spectators swarm the banks of the Allegheny River, the inviting lawns of historic Point State Park, and the meandering river-walk of scenic North Shore to celebrate the region's most prolific festival of air, land and water entertainment.
Get ready to welcome the “Beach in the Burgh” as Sandsational builds the largest sand sculpture Pittsburgh has ever seen. Skies will explode nightly with Circus Orange—the most exhilarating combo of pyrotechnics and aerial stunt performers in North America.
Speed? Oh yeah, the North American Powerboat Championships are here again to tame the Allegheny at 125/mph! And, of course, one of the nation's top fireworks shows—the EQT “Flashes of Freedom” Fireworks Fantasia, produced by Pyrotecnico, caps it all. In between, there's music, food, kids zone, dragon boats, bass fishing, bike stunt shows, “Anything that Floats,” and so much more at the summer's largest family extravaganza and your FREE Vacation Destination!

There are a few abandoned mills along the rivers, but most seem to have been razed and replaced with office parks. The old Heinz ketchup factory on the North Side is now luxury apartments. Google does engineering and robotics research in a former Nabisco factory near Shadyside on the East End.
