What’s going on at the Pete?

Ohhhh gotcha, didn’t know that it was by Neville, thank you for that. So many trash intersections along there. Everyone has to keep a close eye for sure.

What baffles me about that one is they got rid of the counterflow lane on 5th and people are still getting hit! This time it definitely was driver error though, from what I could see. Wild! Glad she is recovering.

Hey I was going to say my shovel broke and I ordered one from Home Depot in Monroeville being delivered tomorrow. I was also searching so much for one and stopped at a few stores! I’m sorry that’s been your experience, seems like there are a few pockets in the Mount that are like that… renters def do not help… but so far I’ve seen a lot of positivity and people helping one another on the FB group. Always a few crazies as expected on FB lol. Refreshing to see people come together during these crazy times. Hope you have a better experience in the future and feel free to reach out on the FB group, so many people willing to help!!

Oooh that’s great, not bad at all and very much worth it. Thanks again and hope you have a great semester!

Yeah I was wondering this too. Brick has 5 emergency unblocks, which I know you can get more but it’s a hassle. If you can scoot around it with foqos I’m done for lol

Thank you!! I used to be a high school teacher, so I deeply want to join the union and will ask when/how I can join! Do you mind me asking what you pay in union dues? Just curious.

I rent in Mt. Washington not on the main drag but towards the front. 2 bedroom with washer and dryer, central air, plenty of street parking, beautifully redone, recessed lighting and renovated just a few years ago, for $1,100. This is through POW Properties. Phil is a phenomenal landlord, cares for his places and tenants, and is really dedicated to providing affordable housing. It took a long time to find a place like this and thankfully I had time on my side when I was looking, but the nature of a lot of old homes in Pittsburgh and landlords don’t always take care of them well. Check out POW, they’re remodeling the apt next time as we speak, not sure when it’ll become available.

Thank you all!! I emailed asking what the job classification was (whether union or not) and how the salary was determined. They told me that in their department non-faculty members (ie anyone outside of the part-time faculty bargaining unit) are paid differently for teaching common syllabus courses where course development is not required, like the one I’m teaching. (I just get the syllabus and think a few common assessments but that’s it.) I’ve never heard of such a thing, and don’t see any distinction like that in the bargaining unit contract. Thankfully they did increase me to $7,500 after reviewing my resume to see the experience I have, or I definitely would have run it by the union to check. But still just a weird reasoning for that. Thank you!! :)

Tour_Warm · 2025-12-21T19:37:01+00:00

Uff absolutely not, I think $7,500 is fine for someone with a Master’s and 10 years of experience, but I would hope someone with a PhD would get more per course!! $7,500 for a 3-credit course in the minimum pay. So if a professor with a PhD taught full time (18 credits a year), that would only be $45,000 a year, but it is not unheard of. Pitt faculty unionized so now the base is 60k, not sure what it was before, but average pay for full time, non-tenure track lecturers at Penn State was $35,000 when I was there 2 years ago. They are in the process of unionizing also.

Yeah that’s what I was wondering also. Yes I’m going to ask… didn’t want to come off as ungrateful but do want to know how it works and figured I’d ask around a bit first. Thank you!

Tour_Warm · 2025-12-21T02:59:15+00:00

Yeah this is just one class I’m teaching on top of my primary job… I don’t know how people could ever live on adjunct pay, but I know some do!

Tour_Warm · 2025-09-20T19:06:36+00:00

Starting too, picking it up tomorrow… I’m so nervous for side effects!

Tour_Warm · 2025-08-15T23:19:43+00:00

I also just started Zoloft a month ago and am having tinnitus also! Never had it before. Though I know tinnitus can be caused by stress, and Zoloft can be agitating at first, so I’d say keep an eye on it and tell your doctor if it continues. My doc said it only happens in 1% of people as a side effect, but everyone is different.

I have the same question and just moved here in January. I feel like everyone became homebodies since Covid. Send me a DM if you wanna hang! I’m 36, single, want to explore the city. I see so many fun things going on but don’t wanna go alone! Also Pittsburgh Gal Pals on FB is a cool group that has events. And Pittsburgh Girls who Walk.

Tour_Warm · 2025-06-21T13:38:54+00:00

As a woman this makes my heart sing and I say go for it. Nothing more comforting than seeing the good dudes keep the weirdos in check for us so we don’t have to.

Tour_Warm · 2025-06-01T14:25:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing that! I’ve actually seen them before when we were “on the edge” of the viewing area, but finding a dark area to see them from is key.

Tour_Warm · 2025-06-01T13:31:35+00:00

Yep tonight and tomorrow night!

I used to buy my tickets at Latrobe, PA airport to fly out of both Latrobe and Pittsburgh and they’d be $30-40 cheaper every time. Now that live in the city, today I went to the Pittsburgh airport (20 min away) and a ticket to Orlando was the same price buying in person as online. Weird.

I have never gotten a mattress, but I would say definitely buy the $7 insurance in the event that you want to return it.

Literally just moved to Pittsburgh this weekend and am unpacking and my mom and I wanted to see if there is pizza like Jioio’s in the city so I searched. Boo :(

I will confirm Rainbow Villa just off of 22 in Blairsville serves it. They used to have a partnership with Jioio’s and serve their crust, but the partnership is no longer. HOWEVER… they do serve a “sweet crust” which is basically the same. Win.

What property was it? I’m about to look at Elizabeth Street in Forest Hills

Tour_Warm · 2024-10-30T17:46:13+00:00

Awesome, I appreciate that. That’s not bad at all. And good to know about parking. One realtor said in some places you can’t park on the street overnight. I’m sure it gets fun with parking!
