Songwriter Stephen Foster s antebellum ballad My Old Kentucky Home, the state song of Kentucky, has been sung by crowds at the Kentucky Derby almost every year since 1936. Last year, because of pandemic crowd restrictions and protests of the song s racism, track bugler Steve Buttleman intoned the melody in a somber performance shorn of the controversial words.

Two pieces of property acquired by the former Pitmarine Corporation owner have historic ties to the rivers and the Pittsburgh area.

George A. Romero Archival Collection has Nuns from Outer Space, Jacaranda Joe

Day of the Dead: “This is it, gore fans. The gross finale…the intestine tugger….Balthazar and his court get torn to shreds as the blues and the whites get their supper.” And there was also a note with Romero’s advice on how to get said intestines from the butcher: “All he needs is a little advanced notice as he only slaughters on certain days.” ....
