The Three Rivers Crowd
Kids, I'm gonna tell you the absolutely true story of how I went to Pittsburgh for dinner. But to get the whole story, we have to go back to the year 2004. It was a night like any other. Back in those days, I was living in Bluefield. It was after I had graduated from … Continue reading The Three Rivers Crowd
