Truck Update II
Gosh, folks. It’s May 11, yet I could see my breath this afternoon. What’s going on?? Well, I can’t speak for the weather, but I can speak for Franktuary. We’re working hard on getting our truck ready for its health department inspection. Hopefully that will be in about a week. From there we’ll apply for our mobile vending permit. Until we’re road ready I humbly suggest that you use your wheels (or feet) to come and visit Franktuary downtown. And even once we’re road ready… we’d like it if you continue to visit us downtown then, too. What else is going on? The Igloo may be hosting it’s final hockey game tomorrow evening. Regardless of whether the Pens can beat the Canadiens, the old barn...
Sports!
As the Buccos approach a record-setting 17th consecutive losing season, you can console yourself with the fact that both the Steelers and Penguins are mere weeks away from beginning their respective title defenses. Of course, any sane person knows that the best part of Steelers season has nothing to do with winning SuperBowls or hanging out with friends on Sunday afternoons. It’s all about the Roethlisfurter and Polamalunesian. These two delectable dogs are only available during football season and are half-price the day after any Steelers victory. If I may be so bold, I believe they’re the very reason Pittsburgh has such a long standing love affair with its gridiron heroes.* Sadly, Franktuary offers no seasonal franks with a Penguin theme. If you...
Pittsburgh Peng-Wins
Well, folks, there’s a reason they’re not named the Pengloses. Maybe their arena should be re-nicknamed the “Igwin.” Okay, I’ll stop now. All day today the Pittsburgh is half-off at Franktuary. You can thank #87 and company for that! Here’s hoping we see a rematch of the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals, but hopefully we can avoid this:
On the Ice
And so it comes down to game seven. Your Pittsburgh Penguins against the Washington Capitals, with the winner advancing to the NHL’s Eastern Conference Finals. Can Marc-Andre Fleury best Simeon Varlamov? Is Sidney Crosby plus Evgeni Malkin greater than Alexander Ovechkin plus Mike Green divided by Donald Brashear?? I have no idea, but should the Ice Chickens triumph Franktuary extends the following offer: Mention this blog entry the day after victory and receive one Pittsburgh frank for half of its regular price. After all, should fortune shine upon the Steel City, the Pens will be half-way to Lord Stanley’s Cup.
Redemption
Earlier in the afternoon the following memo was mailed to one Mr. Bill Peduto. “Dear Mr. Peduto: We at Franktuary are dismayed to hear that the plan to have skyscraper-size posters of Marc-Andre Fleury and Sidney Crosby adorn the outer-walls of Fifth Avenue Place has been ‘pooh-poohed‘ because of political ‘drama.‘ We are confident that you feel similarly. Therefore, we present through you, a chance for the City Council and, most importantly, Mayor Luke, to experience redemption. After all, if not redemption, what is a Franktuary for? Without further adieu, I give you the plan. It’s as simple as skyscraper-size posters of Franktuary co-founders Tim and Megan. Picture them this summer in the lofty place that Sidney and...
