Nestor remembers the Pittsburgh hotel manager howling when the Baltimore AM sports radio wackjob guy told her he was gonna bring a thousand people in purple to her fancy corporate wedding ballroom for four hours to drink beer and prepare to eliminate the Steelers from the AFC Championship Game. The game didn’t go well in 2009 or 2011 but we threw a helluva party up there with ‘yins. Our WNST Roadtrips could affect everything but the outcome for #RavensFlock.

If you have any great pictures or videos from this or any of our WNST Roadtrips or events over the past 25 years, we always love to see them: nes@baltimorepositive.com. Thanks for making our first quarter of a century awesome!
