I'm putting this here because it's a Steelers bar. This is a local Steelers bar about 2 miles away from me. I was devastated when I found out about this.

EXETER - A sports memorabilia collection that took Francesco Stuppino a lifetime to amass was ravaged in minutes Monday afternoon as a fire tore through his popular Susquehanna Avenue sports bar.

"I lost everything," a tearful Stuppino, 67, said as friends tried to console him outside Cuz's Susquehanna Grill and Bar. "How do you replace what we had?"

How terrible. I really feel badly for the owner who lost all that memorabilia - insurance can't replace that.

That does suck.

The upside is when the Steelers, current and past, hear about it, they'll rebuild his collection for him.

That's the first thing I thought of too. That's awful.

A truly great loss. I know how much our own local Steelers bar means to all of us displaced fans in Cinci.....our home away from home. We have the only bar in town with a Jerome Bettis fathead above the bar! I hope he rebuilds and gets alot of memoriblia donated to the cause.

UPDATE: Just got word that the Steelers will be donating stuff to the owners of the bar and someone from the team will be making a visit to the bar once it's rebuilt! I was thrilled when I found this out! I will keep everyone updated as I hear more.

And this is why the Steelers are the greatest sports organization in the world. Yes, the world.
