A Taste of History

http://www.myneonhaven.com/neon_detail.php?ID=3552
Americans have a very sharp sense of history. And that bleeds out on the street, in the street plates and even on beer cans. I've recently made that connection after my U.S. History 1 class. Especially in   Pittsburgh. You get to walk on history, breathe history, you cross rivers soaked in history.You even drink history. Every drop of that Sam Adams is dripping with revolutionary thoughts. Or not anymore. Depending on your nationalism coefficient. But one thing is for sure: history is history and French, Indians and early settlers did a pretty good job writing it in the Duquesne Fort. So all of you drving through Duquesne Boulevard or throwing the cap in the air at Duquesne University carry with you an immortal scent of those times. Whether you are aware of it or not.
