Some of my best - a look back at the first 99 posts in Downtown email brown history

Everybody loves a clips episode..

Some of my favorite posts:

Number 1 Food City

Downtown Pittsburgh lunch rankings

Lydiah's is my favorite

Pillars of the Strip District

All basically just writing about food in the best food city in the world (per ZAGAT). Strip District is probably my favorite of the three; it's practically a crown jewel for the city of champions

Pittsburgh is awesome

Coach Cowher retires - a retrospective

Best Bridges in the City

Reading the Morning Paper

#FollowFriday - Dave DiCello

At its heart this website's soul is based on the fact that Pittsburgh is a remarkable place to live and we are all lucky to be here. These are a few of my favorite posts admiring the Burgh for what it is - the most liveable city in the whole world. Particularly enjoyed reading the paper as it allowed me to jump around all over the place and keep my dumb millennial brain entertained

Outsourcing for #content

Introducing Dahntahn Abbie

99% of the first 100 posts in downtown email brown history were written by me. I'm a dreadfully bad writer, so I hope I can move that percentage closer to zero the second hundred around :)

Conspiracy Theory/Consumer Watchdog

Are local meteorologists lying to us?

Should we be worried about the stewardship of local institution Heinz Ketchup?

Donald Trump Paid Steve Harvey to Botch Miss America Job

The Neil Walker trade is both a good baseball move and something I don't like

I'm just asking questions. Weather one was particularly fun b/c I got to learn all about great Pittsburgher Joe DeNardo

Joke Budget

Should I bet super genius Mark Madden $1000 that the Pirates will make the playoffs in 2016?

Donating $10 to the real life Human Fund that seriously goes towards helping Cleveland youths get into the arts

Joining the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust

I'm going to wear a Neil Walker Mets shirt to every Pirates game I attend in 2016

Got to dispose of disposable income somewhere..

Book Reports

Every Steelers regular season ends the same way

It's fun to come up with new ways to misspell Cincicnnatti

Rewatching a classic Seinfeld episode

Pittsburgh Part 1 Part 2

Book Reports are fun to write, actually. I need to put as much effort into the follow-up Pittsburgh book reports as I did for stupid Cincinnaty

Making fun of Cleveland, OH

Article review: "Yes, I Moved to Cleveland and You Should Too" By Dana Norris

Iconic Cleveland skyline - the smokestack that belches fire

Is this joke about Cleveland, OH too mean?

Many more where that came from :) It is every Pittsburgher's birth right to make jokes about how miserable Cleveland Ohio must be

When am I gonna settle down and find a nice lady 

Original

Would have married if i was from the past

Degrassi characters

Inspired by a commitment-phobic co-worker who dared me to get married by Valentine's Day 2016. And why not, it's not like I'm getting any younger...

Miscellaneous click-bait style junk articles

Power ranking attractiveness of the cast of 'Hot in Cleveland'

AFC North teams as presidential candidates

Ranking the 4 major sports in order of whiteness

Steelers = Jeb Bush turned out to be more accurate than I hoped :/

And finally, the most successful clickbait article in the history of downtown email brown, so far:

The Definitive Top 5 Taylor Swift songs of all time

In case you missed it, here's the list:

5. Back to December

4. You Belong With Me

3. Style

2. I knew you were trouble when you walked in

1. Whee-ee are never ever ever getting back together

I feel like I need to educate the world on Out of the Woods; a song with lyrics that are either "Are We Out of the woods yet" or "are we in the clear yet" SEVENTY FIVE percent of the time. Taylor Swift songs can be so much better than that...

Thanks for reading
