On This Day in Pittsburgh History: January 19, 1911
The Elizabeth Steel Magee Hospital, founded by Christopher L. Magee, began operation. [Historic Pittsburgh]
My little brother was born at Magee. My dad worked there at the time, and he still works there to this day. My grandfather worked at West Penn, in Bloomfield. That’s where I was born. I first ran the Pittsburgh Marathon two years ago, and by the time I got to Bloomfield—I think it’s mile 21—I felt so horrible that I wanted to die. Is that ironic or is it just a coincidence? Either way, I thought it was funny.
But yeah, when I first signed up for Twitter my friends would ask why I spell my handle, @poopsmagee, the way I do.
“Do you mean, Poops McGee?”
“No, it’s Poops Magee. Like the hospital.”
“What hospital?”
None of those people were from Pittsburgh.](http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxnbztLePz1qakblyo1_500.jpg)
