Reply to USPS distribution center in Warrendale is being sketchy by gatorclawgumbo

So, the Warrendale location has a lobby and window you can go to, but the hours kinda suck (10-2, monday-friday as far as I know). I cannot guarantee that you'd be successful in getting an answer, but you'd at least talk to a person. I worked holiday casual at this facility, and they take theft & interference of mail seriously, as in dudes w/cuffs seriously. The fact it's been multiples is a bit weird - like one package I'd chalk up to something like a mangled package and it's been sitting in the department where someone pieces together where the heck damaged mail is supposed to go - but more than once for one customer is pretty weird.

(Edit: words are hard & I can't remember what the damaged mail dept is called)

Reply to How long does it typically take to get a response to a 311 request? I submitted a web form last week and haven't heard anything back yet. by GroundbreakingGrade0

It really depends. A truck took out our street name sign, and it was replaced in ~48 hrs. Pothole on a side street? Ehhh a week? Maybe more, depending on if it’s patching season. More general requests (our neighborhood has some bad intersections that need signage) may take a loooot longer

Just here to third Dr Lamb and the whole practice. I haven’t seen Erica, but I’ve seen Dr Lamb and his PA Chris (who is also a gem of a human). I have T1 diabetes and they’re the right amount of hands on/off with that. They take a LOT of time talking and listening, and Chris was the only medical professional who ever took a second to go “heyyyy you sound like you’re having a tough time, would you like to talk about ways we might help?” (Yes, my dude. Big yes).

Honestly, as a person who has had some pretty fucked up medical experiences, it’s really refreshing to have a primary practice that…practices? And doesn’t just fob you off on a specialist all the time (they do refer, but they handle a lot of stuff in office too!)

Reply to What Pittsburgh neighborhood did you grow up in, do you still live there, are you still tight with your neighborhood friends? by buffripa

Grew up in Sheraden (birth-2004), still friendly with a few childhood friends (Facebook etc). I chose to go to a magnet school (north side) to get away from bullying and abuse by a classmate. Then I moved for college then moved abroad, lived in around the city a bit then eventually settled in Stanton Heights. Oddly, I moved in up the street from my middle school English teacher & two different people I went to high school with.

Way back in the Homestead days, I went there for breakfast tacos on a Sunday morning, and had the best damn cup of coffee I’ve ever had in my life. It was a Chiapas blend but it was like one of those moments where the clouds open and the sun appears etc. I still think about that (and those damn breakfast tacos because breakfast tacos)

Reply to Window Nation - thoughts? by 1ncogneat0h

We had two windows (big picture windows) replaced by Window Nation and while the installers & the windows were great, the sales person was a royal ass.

When we did the rest of the windows, we went with Vynex https://www.vynexwindows.com/ after getting quotes from Window Nation and Window World . Vynex came in several grand under the rest and they’re local. One day of installation and we’ve got zero regrets.
