There was also a Steak and Ale on Route 51 in Pleasant Hills below the slag dump across from Haines.
Because the South Hills is hard to access while the North Hills is easier with the highway.
I kind of though it was tied to logistics. Jagr was probably the most prominent athlete that I can remember living in the South Hills while he played. I believed he lived in Upper Saint Clair - no?
Yeah, he used to live that way and so did Lemieux. If you think about it, it is a straight shot to the Civic Arena from USC or Lebo but it is all difficult street lights.
All the penguins lived in the south because they practiced at Mt Lebo and then practiced at Southpointe in Canonsburg. So they lived in Lebo, USC, South Fayette and Canonsburg. Maybe even Bethel. I know Bourque has a beautiful house in BP but it might as well have been USC.
Didn't they break the Cup in Lemieux's Mt. Lebanon pool? I remember Lemieux used to be a regular or seen a decent amount at South Hills Country Club as well.
Yep. He lived in a dead end street that ran perpendicular off Rt 19 in the heart of Lebo. His house was on the cul de sac and had an old English “L” in the masonry. I forget the name of the street. But he left there and went to Sewickley. I can’t remember when the move happened but it might have coincided with his retirement and thus didn’t have to drive into the south hills daily. Although, from Sewickley to Southpointe is an easy no tunnel drive down i79.
I think he left Lebo after the first retirement. I think. I remember that around when he came back in 2000 or so, he was not seen around the South Hills much anymore. Maybe I am confusing it all. I just remember that Lemieux was a guy that you would see randomly in South Hills. It is hard to miss the 6'5" guy that everyone knows. I do not remember that happening too often after the mid/late 1990s.
Those guys all liked to party at the Saloon. And they were very social and didn’t look down their nose at the hoi polloi. We spent plenty of nights having beers with those guys.
Owned by Bimbo Cicconi, who waa a running back at Pitt in the late 40's early 50's.
There was a steakhouse between USC and Bridgeville that those guys used to often frequent. Do you remember the name? I am forgetting as it has been a long time since I have visited that area.
I’m drawing a blank on a steak house. They did frequent L&N Seafood in the Galleria as I recall. I don’t know where there would be a steak house between USC and Bridgeville.

Actually I clicked on street view in that link and sure enough the L is still there on the far left side of the dwelling.I’m drawing a blank on a steak house. They did frequent L&N Seafood in the Galleria as I recall. I don’t know where there would be a steak house between USC and Bridgeville.
Here is Mario’s old house on LynnHaven Dr. I’m pretty sure this is his but I don’t see the L in the masonry but subsequent owners might have had it removed.

Holy crap! I didn't know that! I remember the original Bimbo's near Forbes Field. They relocated to Lebo after Forbes Field closed around 1970/1971.
There was/is a road/set of roads that essentially connects 19 and Washington Avenue. A common throughway that everyone travels. It had a bunch of car lots, repair shops, random shops and a steakhouse that everyone in the area knew very well. Highly regarded. That set of Penguins was known to rent out the steakhouse as were some of the Steelers. I just cannot remember the name.I’m drawing a blank on a steak house.

Ok. Is was thinking you might have been referring to Mcglaughlin Run Road, and I’m envisioning a possible location near the USC post office off Lesnett Rd.
Ok my memory could be shot. I do remember something about Cindrich so I may be confused. Any owners with an L for a last name?According to the Allegheny County Tax Map Mario didn't own this place. Ralph Cindrich did though.

I just looked at a map; it was either on McLaughlin or McMurray. If you were driving towards Washington Avenue, it was on the left side of the street. It was one of the only things on the left side of the street. I am going to be thinking all day today about the name, it was one of the names that everyone knew locally like Pasta Too or Armstrong's to Tambellini's, etc.
Wow, look how much that house has gone up recently. Now $3m. Recently renovated. Looks like Mario sold the place in 1994 for $550k.Actually I clicked on street view in that link and sure enough the L is still there on the far left side of the dwelling.

Wikipedia says that he lived in Lemieux's former home. That said, was he Lemieux's agent? It is possible that he was the Trustee of a land trust or something similar to keep Lemieux's name off of the records though he was the beneficial owner.According to the Allegheny County Tax Map Mario didn't own this place. Ralph Cindrich did though.

Lemieux must have sold it to Cindrich. I just googled and see that Mario’s brother lived there from 1989-1994.According to the Allegheny County Tax Map Mario didn't own this place. Ralph Cindrich did though.

Interesting. The county tax map only gives the past 3 owners. And I didn't read that right below it states that this doesn't list all previous owners.
There we go, caper solved! Google never lets us down.
Bottom line is that you are right, Mario lived there. Whether or not someone else's name was on the title isn't important. The house may have been provided as a perk for the team's franchise player.
I can't speak to where Lemieux lived specifically, but I can say that it used to be that these guys lived in the community, you saw them and everyone knew where they lived. They were neighbors. I remember being a pretty small kid in Homewood/Point Breeze and everyone knew where Mr. Stargell lived/used to live.
A deed search shows Lemeiux sold it to Cindrich in August 1994
