Mark Rand Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 What do we know about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the Champions Universe? I seem to recall that it once had both a VIPER base and a superhero team, but that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 No mention that I can find so far in the current official CU. It might be referred to in an older pre-5E book. I'll keep poking around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted June 6 Author Report Share Posted June 6 Right now, I'm looking through my PDF of the VIPER 4E sourcebook. I'll probably have to find a PDF of the 3E VIPER book, if there is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is summer in Milwaukee and a weekend, there is a lakeside fest over at the lakeside. Edited June 6 by Stanley Teriaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted June 7 Author Report Share Posted June 7 Pittsburgh was home to a Rubber Duck sculpture in 2013. The "bathtub" it floated in was the Allegheny River, near PNC Park (the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Club) and the Roberto Clemente Sixth Street Bridge.

And a perfect target for Foxbat's Master Plan (tm). Lord Fyre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted June 7 Author Report Share Posted June 7 If the Clemente Bridge was a drawbridge, the tenders would be on the top floor of the old Fulton Building, now a Renaissance Hotel. When the duck was being positioned, the member of the three-person, all-female tender crew on duty would've sounded a duck call before making announcements instead of the usual bos'n's call. If a tender saw Foxbat, she might sound it for him, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted June 8 Author Report Share Posted June 8 When there are events at either PNC Park or Aerisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field), the Clemente Bridge is closed to vehicles while people are going to the event. If the Clemente, Andy Warhol, and Rachel Carson Bridges are drawbridges, they would be locked down as ordered by the Pittsburgh government. Whoever is on duty at the end of the Pirates, Steelers, or Pitt Panthers home game gives the final score. If the Pirates win, the announcement ends with "RAISE THE JOLLY ROGER!"

Interstate 279 (I-279) is also known as the Parkway North and is entirely within Allegheny County. It runs from I-376 at the Fort Pitt Bridge to Franklin Park Township. Interstate 376 (I-376) within Allegheny County, the route runs along the majority of the Penn-Lincoln Parkway, known locally as Parkway West and Parkway East. Parts of it are designated either US Route 22 or US Route 30. Interstate 579 (I-579) is 2.73 miles (4.39 km) long. I-579 is also known as the Crosstown Boulevard since it crosses the backside of Downtown Pittsburgh. The northern terminus of I-579 is at I-279 beyond the north end of the Veterans Bridge; the southern terminus splits to the Liberty Bridge southbound and Boulevard of the Allies eastbound, which leads to I-376 east. The intersection of I-579 and I-279 is in one direction only; northbound traffic on I-579 can proceed only northbound on I-279 while only southbound traffic on I-279 can exit onto I-579.
