Lawns are my favorite “brainwashed by capitalism” topic in the US. I’m so glad people are becoming more aware and are trading high maintenance, imported grasses for native ground cover.

Yes.

McKees Rocks has changed pretty dramatically since the start of Covid. When Comcast went full remote a significant number of the businesses closed down.

I couldn’t respect myself if I was served the worst quality, store bought chips at a “Mexican restaurant” and didn’t walk out before ordering. That’s just me though.

Mad Max also has many of the same features that the national chains have, low quality, re-heated food that isn’t worth the price.

Lol I hope you’re a troll and not actually that stupid. Either way, best of luck with that!

Nah, cops are pretty terrible. There is science to back this from the significantly higher statistics of domestic abuse compared to the general public and that certain authoritative personality types are drawn to police work. Please stop pretending police have remotely good intentions so that we can actually move forward as a society.

Baby chickens are small birds that can’t fly.

There are numerous videos on the internet of deer eating birds, but I don’t think there are any of chickens.

I have always done this. I’ve had a lot of open style closets and exposed racks and have gotten many compliments regarding my clothes becoming part of the decor.

I lived on Boggs in a small apartment complex when Fios was first coming to the neighborhood and there was a strange cut off based on the number of apartments in the building. I don’t clearly remember the details, but it was something like individual homes and apartment complexes with 8 or more units were first priority. My complex had 5 apartments and Verizon simply told us that this made us ineligible for the forseable future. This would have been around 2016/2017.

I love this place, I just desperately wish places offered smaller portion options. I usually follow strict dietary restrictions, occasionally want some Chinese as a cheat day, but the portions are enough for 4-6 meals, and I’m not really down with a cheat week.

ALWAYS avoid z-trip. Do you know what human services companies in Pittsburgh do when clients are Covid positive or have bed bugs and they aren’t willing to transport them themselves? They use z-trip.

I googled it and they have been allowed since 2010, so you’re not wrong in that they weren’t at one point, but it’s definitely regularly used by them now.

They are pushed closed, but not locked.

This is just false. There are always cyclists. No dogs allowed, though.

Just go and enjoy yourself. I’ve gotten freaked out a couple of times by vehicles with out of state plates following me incredibly slowly, but I usually go when there are a ton of people around, and stay vigilant with my music not too loud.

.. and today has proven that it was all for good reason.

I’ve been in Pittsburgh for 10 years, when I first moved here, it was under construction and a nightmare, but then it ran smoothly and beautifully for like 5 years until this current project started, but everyone just forgets those amazing years.

It seems a lot of people also don’t know the end game of the current project, which is to add an exit lane for Highland park bridge. Instead of 1 lane to stay on 28 and 1 lane to exit for Highland park bridge, there will be two lanes for 28 and a proper exit lane for the bridge.
