Reply to Abandon can wash on Penn in Wilkinsburg by H0ff8675A
I’m not sure what the market really is for washing cans. Easy to see why it didn’t work out as a business.

I’ve actually been there. It’s a cool facility.

True or false, Bloomfield is the most old school yinzer neighborhood in the entire city.

You’re new to Pittsburgh, aren’t you? (I kid, I kid)
But yeah… having grown up along it, it’s the worst highway I’ve ever seen.

We already knew he was unfit, but thank you for speaking out.

Reply to Is living in Pittsburgh expensive? by Ordinary_Promise7748
It is notoriously inexpensive, actually. It’s like this little forgotten part of the country that no one moves to unless they have to or were born here. But don’t let that fool you, it’s awesome.
The dynamic IS changing, btw. Our medical and educational industries are starting to become attractive draws for some folks, and the overall stability of the region is drawing more interest. Still, it never seems to grow at the pace of other cities and one thing about us is the region isn’t built up as much as say a New York or LA so it can grow without feeling like it has grown or costing more because resources or real estate is more scarce.
