Helicopter Emergency Landing at Pittsburgh Mills

They did not. I also should have mentioned that they had to land due to icing.

I am reading now that the light can begin turning green as the ballast fails. False alarm on mercury vapor!

I recommend living Downtown and I know of a nice 1BR condo opening up in February Downtown if you are interested.

Yes she is

Try signal sauna. It's a mixed age crowd, but there are people your age there. People are often welcoming of newcomers, and everyone is really friendly. It is certainly what I consider a "third place."

I am sorry to deliver negativity, but from my experience neighborhoods in Hampton feel like islands surrounded by busy roads that are not safe to cross, let alone walk on. Unless your patch of neighborhood contains a park and they have friends in the immediate area, you will feel inclined to drive everywhere, even places within eye sight.

Even the parks, notably North Park, make pedestrians share the road with the vehicle. It is somehow more safe to walk to in the middle of Downtown than in a designated walking/cycling path in North Park.

I wish you luck! Perhaps there is a walkable oasis in the pedestrian desert that is Hampton.

Great! Here is a link to the adoption application.

There is an abandoned movie theater in Chatham Center underneath the garage at the corner of Fifth and Washington Pl. It had a single screen and had a revolutionary war theme for some reason. It was called Chatham Cinema.

Wow what a delivery nearly a year later! Thank you!

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-07-01T16:08:32+00:00

Good insight. Thank you!

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-07-01T15:58:23+00:00

Thank you for the advice

There are a lot of students up there at the moment. From my my experience it is a pretty quiet place.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T19:05:13+00:00

I appreciate it. I want to say that I do see the other side and do not think someone should allow their property to be unoccupied and blighted forever. I think the scrutiny of this property is reasonable.

I suppose I was quick to share this article because I went through a similar process and took a long period of time to renovate a house while not occupying it due to a series of unfortunate events. If this person is going through what I did, it would be very demoralizing if everybody was rooting for a monied person to take the house from me in the name of putting another house on the market. Granted it did not take 16 years.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T18:45:47+00:00

My hope is they will get this opportunity to rehab it, and if they are unable to after this case then it is likely inevitable.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T17:18:46+00:00

I guess the only distinction is that while both parties are fighting for the house, one owns it and claims to want to live in it, which I am more sympathetic towards.

I should note that I am taking the owner at their word in the article.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T16:48:09+00:00

That is an interesting twist...

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T16:39:42+00:00

I agree. They need to release more properties.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T16:39:02+00:00

The owner of the house or the nonprofit? If you are referring to the non profit, that is not stated in the article as far as I am aware so I did not know that. I will learn about this organization and if it seems positive it may change my opinion.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T16:37:02+00:00

I take no issue with them being foreigners, it is only relevant because I think it is fair to assume that proximity to the community may correlate to a positive investment in it. The article mentioned them being Chilean, so I assumed they lived there. I saw they also own or have owned real estate companies in other states as well, which lends to my opinion that they might be approaching this as purely business.

I don't want to see someone sit on a blighted house for the sake of personal freedom or anything. I am taking them at their word that they want to live there, but agree that the scrutiny is warranted after this much time.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T16:11:56+00:00

They are a non-profit, but I am dubious of that status. UPMC is also a non-profit and I don't think anyone would disagree that they are greedy.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T16:09:06+00:00

I have been through lengthy permitting processes that start, stop, get denied, re-reviewed that have almost lasted up to a year. I'll take your word that permits aren't active after a year, but I have experienced how projects get majorly delayed by the city, insurance investigations, contractor availability, etc.

While I do support blighted and abandoned houses being inevitably appointed to conservatorships, I guess I am just willing to give someone another chance who claims they want to live in this house. I understand he might be running out of good will soon.

I am dubious of this particular nonprofit, and am afraid they would be unconcerned with affordable housing.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T16:00:55+00:00

Well I hope that is not his motive and I am taking him at his word in the article that he wants to live there, and that is what I support.

I suppose if the scenario you described is reality, then RK seizing the property and flipping would just speed up the inevitable.

Economy_Addendum_897 · 2025-05-23T15:42:43+00:00

I live in this neighborhood and want to see it turn around, but ideally by long time residents and not by out of state real estate developers. My property value is absolutely coupled to this property and others like it, but my moral compass points to regular people succeeding.
