stepping back in time

Tinsley House in Bozeman, MT is over 100 years old, and life goes on about as if no time has passed since the day it was built. The entire structure was moved from its original location of Willow Creek so it could be near the Museum of the Rockies. A staff, dressed in the traditional…

Pittsburgh Adventures / for the love of nike

Let me be your Pittsburgh tour guide.

The natives, also known as Yinzers, are down to earth, sports fanatics, and like french fries in their sandwiches. where to drink: Fathead’s Fatheads is the place to grab a great beer (or a few…

What’s so great about Air Max sneakers, you ask? Well, they make it possible to walk on air. That’s awesome. They’re comfortable as heck. And…

rub-a-dub-dub, the Allegheny River is a giant tub!

Visiting Pittsburgh is always an adventure. I finally made my way to Primanti Bros., where the french fries abound. In Pittsburgh, sandwiches come with the fries on the inside. Originally that was to make lunches easier for workers in the Strip District to eat on the go. It stuck around because it’s delicious. I also got to see the Rubber…

uno, dos, tres años!

I’m the type of person who is notoriously bad at remembering dates. Thank goodness for technology that does the remembering for me. Wordpress reminded me this morning that today marks the 3rd year of fortheloveofnike. One thousand and ninety five days ago, I started this blog for fun. After 422 posts and 7,016 of the…
