Pittsburgh Steelers Superbowl Celebration – February 2006

February 10th, 2006
 
 
 

The Saturday night before the superbowl, at 8PM, my girlfriend (now wife) and I decided that it would be a good idea to drive back to my hometown (Washington, PA, about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh) from Raleigh, NC to watch the game on Sunday, and if we won, go into Pittsburgh to experience the celebration. Once we heard the parade was on Tuesday, I couldn’t pass up the chance to attend.

It was a very cold morning in the Burgh, with flashes of blue sky along with snow flurries.

    Wow, incredible pics. I moved from PA in 1979 and have went back several times to visit family. I flew back for the superbowl and as anyone knows ain’t nothing like a Steeler fan. My husband is a photographer and really appreciates good photos. I have a room in my house that is totally devoted to the Steelers. I still have my original terrible towel. Thanks so much for the wonderful pics. Really miss the beautiful city of Pittsburgh. Living in Illinois when I talk people still know where I originated from, Pittsburgh.

    You made me smile! thanks again,
    Cathy Best
