For those of you who are not fortunate enough to be Pittsburgh born and bred, the above photo shows what greets your arrival at the Pittsburgh airport, right before you descend to baggage claim -- side-by-side statues of George Washington and Franco Harris. (If you're unfamiliar with Franco, he's probably best known for his "Immaculate Reception".) UPDATE: Note that this opinion is now officially endorsed by the current administration. Take that Arizona!
