Today, we celebrate the birthday of George Westinghouse, whose innovations transformed industries and continue to inspire progress around the world. 🎉
George's story began in Pittsburgh. Today his legacy spans the globe.
To honor his legacy, we took George back to where it all began for a tour of some of Pittsburgh's most iconic landmarks and attractions.
How many of these Pittsburgh landmarks do you recognize? 🖤💛

Where it all began: On September 17, 1920, football pioneers gathered in Ralph Hay’s Hupmobile showroom in Canton, Ohio, to form the American Professional Football Association, the organization that would become the NFL. This meeting laid the foundation for what would grow into America’s most popular sport. Happy Birthday to the @NFL, and here's to celebrating the visionaries who changed the game forever. profootballhof.me/4dlNC90
