That’s why you need to only date girls who are crane operators.

I feel like this is something easy they can go after to make themselves sound tough. How about the DA cleans up the area around Kennywood to help make it safer.

Cops showing up for other cops and saying screw everyone else. Nothing new here.

Never been to the one in Perryopolis but I have been to auto auctions before. Check and see if you can look at the cars before the auction stars and get there as early as you can. If you are looking for a deal buy early. A lot of people will be gun-shy about spending money in the beginning of the auction.

Honestly check out Bellevue and Brighton Heights. Fairly close to North Shore and it will alleviate many of your concerns about noise/safety and you’ll have a lower cost of living.

I thought it was just alright when I went. It was hot and there was a lot of standing in line. You are basically paying to buy tacos that you could have otherwise bought outside of the festival throughout the city. If you really want to try a bunch of different taco places without having to drive all over the place then it isn’t that bad.

I honestly don’t think so. Working in oil/gas can be pretty brutal and I think a lot of guys just do it to get an easier job with government benefits but it definitely plays into the system.

I myself have looked into government work and some of the job openings will take “industry related” experience in lieu of a degree and then the higher up you go the dirtier it all gets.

I work in natural gas and can confirm. I have seen multiple people leave the industry and go straight to government jobs.

Tell him to try one of the colleges like Pitt or Point Park. Sometimes they are looking to hire people specifically to deal with foreign students or ESL (English Second Language) students.

Best description I’ve heard for driving around Pittsburgh.

Mia Madre on California Ave in Avalon. It’s a little north of the city but not hard to get to.

Honestly if you don’t want to live in the city and want to be close to downtown you should look at Bellevue and Avalon. You can go north in the direction of Ross Township or McCandless for shopping, they are minutes from downtown, and about 15-30 from anywhere else in the city provided you are driving in moderate traffic. The houses in these areas also aren’t ungodly expensive.
