Never one to miss a good social media trend, we jumped on the bandwagon last month and created our own “Pick Your Pittsburgh Quarantine House” meme that gave us some good laughs:
But now a month has passed, and we’re still haunted by readers telling us their favorites weren’t included in our original list. Since we’re still in the yellow phase and a lot of us are still stuck at home, we thought we might as well continue the fun. It’s time to pick your own quarantine house! It’s this week’s #CPQuestionOfTheWeek.
You’re quarantined with one Pittsburgh celebrity, one Pittsburgh food, and one Pittsburgh drink: What do you choose?
Scroll down to see who our readers chose when left to their own imaginations. (But, for the record, I still think our House No. 6 sounds like a blast.)
