Regarding the Chicago St. Patrick's Day tradition, Stormy is right in that they use a vegetable-based powder (the dye formula remains a secret), dubbed Leprechaun Dust, and its low concentration and quick absorption make it non-toxic. The Illinois EPA and a plumbers' union state that it's completely safe, the dye is innocuous and has no harmful effects on the wildlife that inhabits the Chicago River (including several species of fish) or the city’s drinking water, so all it does is just turn it green temporarily. The chemical dye used to turn the river green is not actually green itself but more of an orange color which turns green when it reacts with water! The first time the Chicago River took on a green hue was completely accidental. In 1961, Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local 130 poured a special, oil-based fluorescein dye into the river as a means of detecting leaks and other abnormalities such as illegal chemical pollution. By chance, Plumbers Local 130 leader Stephen Bailey noticed that one of the worker’s overalls were stained green from the dye, and thus sparked the inspiration for the tradition starting in 1962 when they poured 100 pounds of it for the holiday! After it was realized the dye used was very harmful to the river, Chicago plumbers agreed to stop using fluorescein in favor of the vegetable-based formula in 1966.
"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind..." wanting to start again? No way it's my favorite song! That's something The Interview got right about me! And playing Splashing Around by the Green Orbs to avoid getting a copyright thing for September was chef's kiss 🤣Also, "Court, huh? Isn't that where they make you pay jaywalking fines?" Miles be like *"Why do I hear boss music?"* 💀 Gotta give respect to Ben and Stormy for doing this with you considering they trekked all over for diners, let alone climbing up Mount Washington, while running on zero hours of sleep!
Hills....a Chicagoan's kryptonite 😂. And Kalkidan dressing up as Jackson in the end was priceless! From what I found according to Dinerville, Johnny's Diner used to be known as Pip's Diner! Shoutout to Johnny's Diner for straight up having a Diners of Pennsylvania book in hand for others to read up on the history! Tarentum was founded by Judge Henry Marie Brackenridge in 1829 as the Pennsylvania Canal was being completed between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Brackenridge, who owned land between what's now Tarentum and Natrona, surveyed an area between Ross and Lock Streets and called the town Tarentum after an ancient Greek city-state in Italy (now Taranto in Apulia). For diners I've been to, Long Island and New Jersey have some pretty cool diners! In Northport, there's one inside a dining railroad car that originally came from ✨Worcester, Massachusetts✨ in 1924 called the Northport Shipwreck Diner! The Dumont Crystal Diner in Dumont, NJ has been around since 1928! The Cutchogue Diner on Long Island's North Fork is a 1941 Kullman diner! Jersey City has the White Mana Diner which was first built for the 1939 NY World's Fair at Flushing Meadows as the "diner of the future" selling fast food-style hamburgers by Paramount Dining Car Company of Oakland, New Jersey! There's another White Manna in Hackensack, but the one in JC is spelt Mana with one n because of an error when the sign was serviced! Jersey City also has the Miss America Diner from 1942 (built by Jerry O'Mahony Diner Company of Elizabeth, NJ) right by West Side Ave HBLR and New Jersey City University
Honestly love the content , missed opportunity to make an even longer longer video, the sped up part for johnnys diner im sure we all would’ve love to hear everyone’s opinions lol next time tho
Great Video! Great collab with Stormy and Ben. Had the best people to do this with. Perhaps venture elsewhere in the midwest. :) Just bring Ben and Stormy along
When Urbanist ideals intersect with URBEXER/Retail Enthusiast ideals. 15:10 Speaking from experience, the cold (and extreme heat) is why I like to take a power bank with me. It's saved my battery charge numerous times.
Fun video. When are you doing a series on diners in the State of New Jersey??? We are the Diner Capital of the World! You will love our food!!! Best diner in New Jersey is in North Jersey --- Tops Diner in East Newark/Harrison, New Jersey, not far from Red Bull Arena. 😋😋😋😋😋
How can I put this. Two bathrooms reviewed, neither containing a bathtub😟 The only "tub" in the video was a bottle of syrup, way to small to bathe in😳 Termynology ys so confusyng😂
@@cats5834 I learned later in the day that I was saying it wrong, but I decided to leave it in to see who would immediately jump to the comments. My trap worked!
Awesome video. For some history on Johnny's Diner in the West End, check out the UA-cam video about Pip's Diner. I believe that's the sign that's covered up. It's from Rick Sebak's Pennsylvania Diners special.
Looks like the whole 90 minutes special is on UA-cam! Search "Pittsburgh History Series - Pennsylvania Diners" There's a segment on the Cycle Diner that makes you kinda sad it isn't opened today. It clearly was a labor of love and looked fantastic.
Why did UA-cam notify that this was premiering 24 hours and 16 minutes before it actually premieres I mean, at least I got the notification before it started this time, this is the first time it’s ever notified me less than 15 before one of these has started
2:56 @karatransitfur how short are you? Ah [EXPLICATIVE DELETED], pings don't work in comments lol E: 7:06 a Mount Washington Auto Road reference? In MY transit channel video?!? E2: 23:03 is that a Hyundai Elantra? Is it one of the model years without the immobilizer?
"where I come from the land isn't allowed to do this" idk why I think that's so funny.

The Classy Whale-Miles in Transit cinematic universe never lets me down. Really loves the intro song, just as catchy as the original
Miles is Superman. Classy Whale is Batman.
idk if this was the intention of the video but now I want to diner-hop 🤣
I’m hoping for another Classy Whales- Miles in Transit crossover.
Idfk how u missed cherries diner right in downtown. Easy 9/10 right there😏
incliners are so cool

That wouldn't be a video, that would be a channel!
Miles & Jackson, are you in for the ride with classy whale on Pittsburgh Diners?
In all honesty i'm soooooooooo excited for the video in 2 days!!
No spoilers, but the ending was 👨🍳
Should try a visit all Pittsburghs top tourist attractions only public transport
Yes
When did Stormy start sharing their channel Ben? Stormy and Ben sounds like a good name for a sitcom though
You guys chose the right side to sit on
This is the left
I wonder if I can use a Connect Card on Kalkidan Area Transit Authority
That deep fried menu shot audio
At the end when my partner saw Miles she said "you mean they're different people??"
This reminds me of the Yt that showed the diners in Philadelphia by riding SEPTA buses.
It was directly inspired and condoned by the creator of that film!
How can I put this.
Two bathrooms reviewed, neither containing a bathtub😟 The only "tub" in the video was a bottle of syrup, way to small to bathe in😳
Termynology ys so confusyng😂
Hope to stop at the Pike Inn dinner when I go to the West Penn Trolley meet.
Are you attending the meet?
Nope I have this little thing called having tons of responsibilities and no money
I think Tarentum is said like a Somerset farmer trying to say Taunton
Third person who commented before watching the whole video
@@ClassyWhale I watched the video it’s just that that’s how it looks like it should be pronounced
I am from Tarentum. Its pronounced Tuh-ren-tum
Something tells me you didn't watch to the end
@@ClassyWhalei had a stroke when i heard it so i ran to the comments 😂
@@cats5834 I learned later in the day that I was saying it wrong, but I decided to leave it in to see who would immediately jump to the comments. My trap worked!
I sometimes hear "trennum"
we dont pollute our rivers every st patricks day we pollute them every day 50 years ago
that cheese steak is just a cheese steak hoagie which i guess tracks for a sandwich shop .
ngl i thought kalkidan was the real jackson for the whole video, great disguise

Classy🐳 😃
When my wife and I were dating, she visited me in Pittsburgh, and I took her to Ritter's. My dad said "I thought you liked this girl!"
How was the food?
Why did UA-cam notify that this was premiering 24 hours and 16 minutes before it actually premieres
I mean, at least I got the notification before it started this time, this is the first time it’s ever notified me less than 15 before one of these has started
2:56 @karatransitfur how short are you?
Ah [EXPLICATIVE DELETED], pings don't work in comments lol
E: 7:06 a Mount Washington Auto Road reference? In MY transit channel video?!?
E2: 23:03 is that a Hyundai Elantra? Is it one of the model years without the immobilizer?
I love how much fun yinz have together.
First Málaga, now Tarentum. Oof. MAH-la-ga (notice the accent on the first A) and tuh-REN-um (you don’t really pronounce the second R).
Enjoy the increased engagement for the algorithm!
Person #2 who commented before watching to the end
are any of those eat'n'parks?
I probably won't be here at 8:00
No, Eat'n'park does not have any prefabricated diners
Yinz should do an every eat n park in Allegheny county
Hey, show some more respect to the 1, that was my commute home >:((
But did she ever return?
Wait this is not even miles and there is knock off songs too
Which one of you is diabetic?
Me!
