Yinz are in Stillers Country

OK, I may have tricked Shawn into our first visit to Breezewood.  We travel the turnpike regularly to visit my family in western PA and I'd seen the sign numerous times advertising STEELERS STUFF.  I, like all of the Steeler Nation, totally dig STEELERS STUFF.  So on one of these treks to western PA the sign inspired me to spend monies and when we were a few hundred feet from the exit ramp I said, "Hey-Shawn-pull-off-here" super fast so he was kinda pressured into it.  Funny for me until we got to the tollbooth and he was all WTF we're exiting?  Oops, forgot you were in a race with every other man in the world to make it to your destination in record time.  Anyway, all was forgiven when he saw Crawford's Gift Shop sitting atop its little hill amongst all the gas stations & restaurants. 

The sunbeams give it that ethereal touch
ooooh, aaah

Somewhere outside there is a sign proclaiming "Souvenirs from all 50 states" or something of that nature but it's really more of a Steelers store as you may be able to tell from the various flags & lights outside.

 

 

 

At this point if you loathe the Black & Gold you should just go because it gets much more intense.  I have never seen so much Steelers-per-square-foot outside of Pittsburgh.  This store is amazing.  Hell, I used the restroom there once and I swear to you there were vinyl decals under the toilet seat.  Take a road trip out to Crawford's to see for yourself if you don't believe me - I swear you won't regret it.  I'm betting it will take more than a few shots of the porch to get you motivated, please do click these images to see larger!

 

 

 

Also some ♥ for the Pens! 

 

 

 

Yes, Steelers fans, you must make Breezewood a pit stop on your journey for memorabelia.  Particularly since I did not take any pictures of the clearance room.  That's right I said room of clearance merchandise.  I promise you it's not all crap back there either - yinz just gotta go!
