The demise of another downtown restaurant is bad news, and the story is likely more complicated than appears at the surface, but there is a silver lining to the closure of Big Mama's House of Southern Cuisine: The police and Pittsburgh Parking Authority agents who have been busy monitoring Big Mama's parking compliance are now free to travel a couple of blocks southwest, to Sixth Street, where the Duquesne Club has been blatantly using a long stretch of public street as a paid parking lot for years.
What's sauce for the chicken and greens is equally sauce for the spots and macaroons (or the "caviar from the Persian Sea"), is it not?

Is there anything in Pittsburgh you won't complain about? Your'e worried about the Duquesne Club's Valet parking? Really? A car left on the street for 10 minutes? maybe 20? This bothers you that much? Really?
You must be miserable. I pity you.
Which attribute of Duquesne Club cars most entitles them to the privilege of free parking (under a "no parking sign") on a public street, in your judgment? That they are Range Rovers and BMWs? That they belong to the "right people?" That the Duquesne Club hires an off-duty officer to enforce its claim to use of a city street for private parking?
Or simply your lack of a sense of right vs. wrong?

Hey, I heard an urban legend that the City pays for some kind of heating, snow-melting apparatus underneath the LaMont, is that true?
Speaking of LeMont . . .
That one still gets bunches of hits, some from interesting visitors.
I think I'll continue misspelling them, thanks.
You mean misspelling "it?"
