Where the Duck in Pittsburgh Really Belongs

Photo by Jason Cohn

I'm a big fan of the giant rubber duck currently floating in Pittsburgh. Most people on social media are, too, except for a few Negative Nancies who say they're tired of pictures, it's not news, or they don't care. It's a 40-foot rubber duck! Like it or not, it's certainly not normal, therefore making it news- and photo-worthy.

But what if the duck visited the Mighty Yough?

I'm sure then the naysayers would settle. I mean, think about it. Sure, it would probably be vandalized almost immediately or used as a jumping-off point into the river or would be damaged by river debris and rocks. But think of the joy it could bring to places like Connellsville or the Adelaide campground!
