As someone whose family is from Altoona, let me say that the abomination that is that pizza is not widely available in the city (a number of people in my family didn't even know of it's existence until the last decade or so) and most locals find it as baffling and disgusting as the rest of us. I'm also unsurprised that someone there would rat him out in hope of a reward, that city is the corpse of what it used to be, now stuffed to bursting with low-wage retail and healthcare jobs. It's also a conservative bastion, go figure.

True facts I will never be able to purge from my accursed brain.

The married couple who owned the house in the 80's sitcom "Mr Belvedere" canonically met in Altoona. The premise of the sitcom was that a lower/middle class family ended up with a refined british butler who solved all their issues for them and brought them closer as a family. It was exactly how it sounds.
