Back about mid 90's we made one of our frequest trips to KY...Stopped at a Waffle House in Blacksburg for breakfast..I am not a redneck but love their breakfast..as we were leaving the waitress ask 'do yunz want coffee to go'.
I said whoa, you are from western PA...yes she said...turns out she went to school with a nephew of mine and her father worked at the Sharon Steel plant...on a trip the next year we stopped by and she was still there...nice young lady...
