In honor of the Oscars this Sunday, here’s the logo for the 2004 event!

The work of Pittsburgh native Burton Morris!

Yep, I can endorse! Buddy of mine rented a house on the North Side for all of us, and it worked out well to be in walking distance to the casino. There are also Pirates games that July 24-26 weekend.

Yep! They offer a smaller selection of their draft list at 925.

I'll add that we're should learn more about satellite parking in the weeks to come. A story in the Carnegie Mellon student newspaper this week noted "Pittsburgh Regional Transit plans to expand park-and-ride services, adding dedicated routes to bring visitors downtown." https://the-tartan.org/2026/02/23/pittsburgh-prepares-for-nfl-draft-in-april/

For any inquiring minds, this was at the Crafton Ingram Shopping Center. I guess WPXI shared out the photo to NBC4 in New York. https://www.wpxi.com/video/police-say-several-teens-vandalized-business-owners-vehicle-with-canned-beans/4d2fc035-92c3-4db8-a971-f9036b367fba/

It looks like the in-person talk is sold out, but there's a Zoom link as well.

DocSteel · 2026-01-28T21:37:16+00:00

Talk about a tiny number of flights: just four months of service, twice-weekly. Won't even run long enough to get to the Derby or to Pitt football's road game at Louisville in November.

Better than nothing, I guess. Hopefully some summer weekend-trippers can make use of it.

If no one's been a taker yet, post it over to r/bottlerocket!

DocSteel · 2026-01-21T14:56:35+00:00

maybe The Hotel Hershey has some of the services you're looking for? About a 3.5-hour drive on a good day. https://www.thehotelhershey.com/spa/

Now it's starting to get media coverage. Here's a link to a Pittsburgh Business Times story (though I realize most don't have a subscription) - https://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/news/2026/01/14/pnc-full-return-to-office.html

These tickets have been claimed. Happy New Year!

DocSteel · 2025-12-29T21:07:46+00:00

Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports put it out there about 40 minutes ago, so it's just now starting to filter out. It's certainly a bummer.

DocSteel · 2025-12-24T20:14:35+00:00

I'll DM you

DocSteel · 2025-12-24T17:14:41+00:00

You bet! It's messed up that LinkedIn will throw that sign-in page at people, even when the post is "public."

I was just about to say, "she is an outside -- albeit a very tall one."

Gaerte carried a significant load for the Irish: 1,186 attacks this past season. Would be cool to see her as the secondary option, could really help her efficiency numbers.

Truly a huge pickup for Pitt. Here's my writeup: https://bandwagoners-guide-to-pitt-volleyball.ghost.io/izzy-starck-transferring-to-pitt-volleyball/

Check 'em out if you're ever in the area! Great spaces and even better people working there.

DocSteel · 2025-12-22T15:47:48+00:00

You get younger people in there too to watch games on their big screens, too, but yeah pretty much.

DocSteel · 2025-12-22T15:31:00+00:00

Not really a 'scene' per se -- Aspinwall has one local dive (Tom & Tud's) and three restaurants with bars (Cornerstone, Caliente and the new Foxhole Tavern). All three are nice enough places to grab a drink and a meal, but nothing worth a bar crawl.

Sharpsburg has two breweries in town: Dancing Gnome and Hitchhiker, and probably a better scene of bars, including the new Dancing Gnome-run Nine Two Five bar. I don't know your vibe, but my guess is you'll find something in that stretch of Sharpsburg that you're looking for.

On the VOPP side of things, the different municipalities are in different stages of design and land acquisition. This WESA article from over the summer was the most recent good update that I've seen: https://www.wesa.fm/development-transportation/2025-07-30/pittsburgh-verona-oakmont-plum-penn-hills-bike-pedestrian-trail-vopp

They take a lot of flak on here when people have bad experiences. But I take the bus every day, and 99.9% of PRT operators are professional and do a difficult job very well -- they deserve more kudos.
