If you think I'm saying that like it's a bad thing, you clearly haven't lived any time in Pittsburgh with sauerkraut and haluski. Besides under all that cabbage are three delicious tacos from Marination.

Pike('s) Place
So in Pittsburghese, speaker's opt to possesify everything. Ever hear some one say, "Sheetz's" it sounds weird but oh so natural.
Not so much in Seattle, where I've been corrected on numerous occasions.
"We're going to Pike's Place for the afternoon, see the fish and eat some chowder."
"You mean, Pike Place"
"Yeah, Pike's Place, what I said."
"No, Pike Place. There's no S"
"Ok. So do you want to go to Pike's Place with us?"
Here's what a halibut looks like before deep fried! (Those are King Salmon to it's left to give perspective-the fin itself is larger than my head!)
