Thing about foraging is you don't really give up your stashes lol. That said, cotw is relatively easy to find in most wooded areas around here. Wrong time of year though.

I mean recent shenanigans aside, that's just not true at all. Those 3 neighborhoods are all very different in their own ways. I loved hanging out in Southside when I first turned 21. Now in my late 20s I strongly prefer Lawrenceville. Different vibes.

Right, Pittsburgh actually does have somewhat of a decent EDM scene but it's mostly dubstep or super housey (the boring, really repetitive kind imo). Not really my cup of tea. Not a whole lot of dance, electronic, electro or progressive house which is what I dig.

Longturn is the closest thing I've heard that broadens the spectrum a bit. Was really digging MAD Bar when it was open but it wasn't for very long :(

Kinda echoing my other reply. I just don't really see what is to be taken away from a documentary on an event like this other than re-opening an old wound. I don't like when media gives these assholes any more attention. Not always, but often I see films like these as Hollywood just using material to make a new film and nothing else. If the document focuses on the victims and their families than great, I hope it does.

To answer your question more directly take for instance a documentary about 9/11. To me there was a lot that went wrong that led up to that that. There were a lot of unspoken heroes and individuals who made sacrifices to save lives. And ultimately it lead to a war for years in the middle east that changed the course of history. There is a lot to be learned and taken away from a documentary like that. Many things you might not have otherwise known. We can learn where we messed up and maybe how to better prevent that from ever happening again, and we have.

Maybe I'm wrong, but for a documentary on a shooting like this, imho there just really isn't. It'll just retell a sad story of an unfortunate event due to a sick individual.

Is this really that "historical" though? Don't mistake that with me saying it shouldn't be remembered, especially the victims and their families. It was horrible event by a sick individual and that was that. I just don't really see what is to be taken away or learned from this.

Idk maybe it has good intentions, but sometimes I just see Hollywood anymore tryna make a story and buck of anything. Sometimes before the dust even settles. Don't need a film made about every tragedy that happened.
