The couple that owns it has recently been recruited by me to join the Steel City Mafia, and has also recently hired a few Steeler fans as employees... Being that it is in the heart of Bengal territory, they used to have a Bengal banner over the bar... It has since been removed, and awaiting thier "You're in Steeler Country" banner in the mail...

A few years back, my wife scheduled a b-day party at a skating ring, near R-Place... Steelers were in a game agains the Bengals... they led 23-10 late in teh 4th quarter. I'd been checking in and out on my sirius radio... the Bengals scored, then got the ball back quickly.
"I'm going to R Place" I declared... As I walked in, Kitna threw his 2nd TD in the final 3 minutes to tie the game at 23-all with just a few seconds... fans were cursing. The Bengals were an extra point away from winning. I said to some fan that I didn't know, "well, it's a sloppy field. A few kicks have been missed today. Stranger things have happened!"
Neil Rackers (a dang good kicker) missed the extra point!! The guy yells, "I could kiss you" and calls his wife on the cell and tells the story of some random dude walking in, suggesting they could miss an extra point, and THEY ACTUALLY MISSED! He was just amazed... it was amusing.
As overtime started, I stayed for a few plays, had to get back to my daughter's bday party... They lost and I'm sure the guy was like, "I wish that guardian angel coulda stayed!"
