Shenderobridge was a big missed opportunity

Minutes from the Mall!

(nobody said how many minutes, nor which mall)

Can y’all come up with a new name for it next?

If you don't have the relevant permit, just ignore that part and only pay attention to the parking limit and the enforcement hours

If you do have the relevant permit, ignore all of it

Helps that it’s a real place and honestly not all that far from East Palestine in the grand scheme of things haha

East Palestine

Pretty much my thoughts. No amount of money would possibly be enough to make up for their loss. If they run out of things to spend it on and want to donate it to a charitable cause, that’s awesome. If they want to keep it for themselves, that’s great too. No strings attached on my contribution.

If I could somehow go back and spend my donation money on buying Alex drinks at the bar, I would have much rather done that. But now I can’t, so my donation was pretty much for anything that brings comfort to his family at this time… something to let them know that Alex mattered to me. If they could buy Alex’s life back for $35,000 I’m sure they’d do it in a heartbeat

Also, the goal was originally lower. I think once the goal is met, there’s an option to increase it. I don’t think there’s any sort of specificity in the goal amount. Just a target to shoot for

Hilarious

Looking at Apple maps, I’m seeing that 28 North is closed between Millvale and Etna for an accident

Thanks for posting OP.

$22,000 raised by nearly 400 people in just a few hours should speak volumes as to Alex’s character and how tragic a loss this is to all that knew him. Rest in peace, Alex 🏒

The possibility of achieving that goal is so far away it's not even funny. Put that thought on the backburner and focus on righting the sinking ship that is your household situation

I think it’s more of a horseshoe theory of social media, where Reddit and Nextdoor are both comprised of people who have never been outside, but the ones on Reddit were by choice and the ones on Nextdoor were because mom thought it was too unsafe

I’m convinced Nextdoor is a social experiment

I think Point State Park is worth checking out. Cool view of the city, rivers, and fountain. I also think Mt Washington is a must. You can park at the bottom, basically across from the Point, and take the Duquesne Incline to the top. Then you can walk as far as you want to get some awesome views of the skyline. If you really want your exercise, you could even use that parking lot for the Incline to visit the Point too. Just have to cross the Fort Pitt Bridge via the sidewalk.

I also think the Strip District would be worth visiting. It’s busier on weekends, but it might still be lively on a weekday. Lots of food vendors, markets, shops, etc. and plenty of souvenir options.

Oakland and the University of Pittsburgh, if you have time. I’m biased but I think the Cathedral of Learning is an architectural masterpiece. You might not be able to do a tour of the nationality rooms because of classes - I’m not sure what the summer schedule is like - but you could still check out the ground floor and maybe even the view from the Honors College floor near the top. Nearby Schenley Park will be bustling with life too. The view of the city from the Overlook is gorgeous and really close to the sports fields, so I love the atmosphere there. Also in Schenley Park is Phipp’s Conservatory if Botanical Gardens are your thing.

There’s too much to do here to fit in 6 hours - basically any single one of our museums could fill that. I steered away from suggesting them in order to provide multiple points of interest that won’t take as long to check out. But if you’re into museums, we’ve got some good ones. My personal favorites are the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Heinz History Center.

Hopefully that provided at least a few ideas for ya! Hope you enjoy your visit!

The jersey is black so it blends pretty well

You can hardly tell it isn’t an Eagles jersey /s

I am currently at Mario’s wearing a Juju Smith-Schuster Steelers jersey with black duct tape over the 9 and “Hurts” written in silver Sharpie on the nameplate. AMA

The intersection where Bigelow meets Washington Pl, next to the new park. I am always on edge during the turn, I’m afraid someone is going to drift into me.

Really though, add in the entirety of Crosstown Blvd.

And while we’re at it, the Ft Pitt and Ft Duquesne Bridges and everything in between

So… you’re telling me to grab a screwdriver, right?

They should really install some cranes that can hold the bridge up 24/7/365, that way we don’t have to rely on just the main supports.

Wait, did I just invent the suspension bridge?

That’s not permanent. They’re still working on installing light poles and a pedestrian crossing

Gotta get as much weight off the bridge as possible. You saw what happened last time!

Yes
