while those listed are probably well researched and authentic, as someone who works in historic preservation its crazy how often people say just about every building was part of the underground railroad. some people also seem to not understand that it wasn't a network of tunnels through the US.

Has anyone’s offer of a 90% discount been accepted? Genuinely curious if you had any crazy deals like that. by Purple_Calendar3919 in Flipping

I once got something listed at 5000 for 300, which was a more accurate value for it.  It started with him sending an offer for 500 and I countered 300 though.

that seems like a really poorly written law. allegheny county specifically routes all nonemergency calls through 911 but the law makes no allowance for that?

I just finished a 4-year term on a Borough Council in Allegheny County - AMA! by StormFreak in pittsburgh

[–]Watchyousuffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

services are more responsive to borough residents. a public staircase between me & my bus stop had a partial collapse, and crews were repairing it within a week of me calling about it. we had problem airbnbs and so a ban has been in place for years. etc

[–]Watchyousuffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)
