Fox Chapel isn't technically in Pittsburgh, but yeah there are some super wealthy pockets there

I kinda like it

Err

You've never had a vodka sauce before?

We had a few power blips over the course of the afternoon, and my work's alarm company just called a few minutes ago to report a power outage in our main building (and a successful live run on our battery backup)

With any luck if you lose your fridge contents you can get compensated by the power company. Might be time for a late night ice cream party!

Another thread recently says it's the same owners up on Perrysville

Terry has owned those lots since at least 2010 if not earlier, weird that the article says 2021. She's been shorting contractors on pay since as long as I've been in the neighborhood. I've talked to many over the years, I'll be surprised if she gets another team in there, she's notorious and nobody who's worked for her has had anything good to say.

I'll probably die of old age myself before she opens anything there.

Jane you ignorant salt.

> Pennsylvania sales tax is 6% of the purchase price or the current market value of the vehicle (7% for residents of Allegheny County and 8% for City of Philadelphia residents).

You pay sales tax according to where you live on vehicles

But I'm at work

Yeah, it's at the intersection of Perrysville Avenue and Legion, just over from North Charles. So it's Perry Market, the old theater, empty lot, Legion, then Wilson's on that side

I didn't realize that was a continuation of another business. I take it the food was good?

I'm close enough I could probably hit the side of their building with a rock and I've been watching that building go from "Wow, why has that not been torn down yet" to "Huh, someone could move in there tomorrow" over the last year and a half.

Yeah but how smart is it if they keep catching it and putting in on a plate?

Well, yeah, safety goes hand in hand with handling guns, I don't consider that to be political

You can come with me up to the Wexford state game lands range next time I go up on a nice day if you want, I have a wide range of guns from .22lr pistols to a suppressed .300Blackout AR15, and the only politics I'll discuss are the things you need to be aware of as far as laws and keeping yourself legal

> My 8 year old was too old for it this fall.

Your 8 year old is broken, my wife and I last went in our early 30s and it was awesome.

I use the Blink xt2 cameras with a 16GB USB stick plugged into the sync module, and solar panels to power them. No subscriptions, no changing out batteries, easy phone viewing at any time, two way talking, etc. I love them.

I didn't say there weren't. Maybe "global helium shortage" would be a good time to just go without balloons full of it for a bit. Just inflate some with your lungs and tie them up high.

Maybe... skip the inflated balloons right now?

What, you don't have a yahd?

I've worked at the high school both just on the grounds and actually 'embedded' (babysitting) with the kids on and off for the past 12 years doing security for events, so I've had a lot of time just watching the kids and the parents interact naturally.

You could not be more correct, in my experience.

You get out of it what you put into it.

There's a lot of reasons but #1 is probably crime, followed by blight. "The North Side" is over a dozen neighborhoods. Perry South, Marshall-Shadeland, and a few others are not the 'desirable' ones.

When people talk about how much they love the North Side, how great it is, etc., they mostly mean the Mexican War Streets.

Or maybe you just happened to pick up your phone at a lucky time and happened to be the first available for that one?
