R.I.P. Lemonade Guy

It's a sad day in Pittsburgh as the Lemonade/Cotton Candy guy from PNC Park has passed.

Here's video of an artiste at work:


I saw him as recently as the last game I was at on Easter Sunday.

    Just read about this and was going to post-it, you beat me to it. One thing I love about going to sporting events is that the same vendors work every game no matter what sport it is, Pirates, Steelers, Pitt, and Penguins.

    Yeah he's still around. I think his name is TC. Also, the middle age Matrix dancer is still vending. They die before they give up those jobs

    His high pitched voice was one of my favorite sounds at games.

    Too bad we are not at the level yet to write obits. Make sure we discuss this at our next meeting. Interviews and obituarys...the next step
