My company recently moved to new digs in the Liberty Bank Building in East Liberty.  I stare at history all day long.

Honest NFL Logos

This is my best guest of where this picture was taken.

#OldBuccos Orlando Merced 1992

This past weekend, I found an old box of baseball cards in my childhood bedroom.  This glamour shot of Orlando Merced from 1992 was one of the first cards I found.  What a gem.
