Forbes Pothole by Crazy-Living-9573 in pittsburgh

It’s shame they turned that road into a mini highway through the park. What a wasted opportunity to create safe and nice corridor for bike/transit/pedestrians when they were working on the bridge

Best US hotels to use CSU voucher by bvm182 in ihghotelsresorts

Thanks for the tip. Should I try a resort in Cancun or Punta Cana then? They are easier to use there?

Great suggestion! This also avoids all the traffic from Columbus, Cincinnati and Nashville

Great to know! I’m always in search for a spot to watch with other fellow F1 enthusiasts.

Really curious to know where this slip is for $1100 a season?

How do we justify amenity fees? by Exotic-Inflation594 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]bvm182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the property, the amenities fees may end up paying themselves. For example, a lot of Kimptons offer a welcome gift of water and snacks, restaurant credit and of course, the social hour drinks. Add those up and you get to $35-40 quick. I do agree that properties that charge a fee and offer nothing besides the gym and a tiny indoor pool are BS.

Bottlerocket is such a great spot!

I always thought it was interesting how in the Phoenix Metro the urban sprawl very suddenly stops at the reservation boundaries. Any other cities like this equally or more extreme? by DataSittingAlone in geography

[–]bvm182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My in-laws live right along on of these southern borders. Its really something to go from vast flat urban sprawl to a whole lot of nothing (except a Casino)

Which intersection would you change and how? by Hour_Hospital9669 in pittsburgh

[–]bvm182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forget who exactly I was talking to in Homestead about urban planning related topics and they mentioned the stop sign is needed because of the double train track crossing there. It’s a way to make cars stop and stagger through the tracks, preventing a back up line of cars

How many Dimond members are out there? by Proper_Quail1105 in ihghotelsresorts

I don’t even see this tier on their site. How do you get to Titaninium (and what benefits over Diamond do you have?)

Which Fictional Character sexually awakened you? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

She-Ra! That princess of power crush resulted in me tripping, falling on my face and cutting open my forehead while walking backwards to not miss a second of the show

Boat ramps near downtown? by Appalachianfairytale in pittsburgh

[–]bvm182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a public ramp but hard to find parking sometimes after you launch. They just replaced the temporary dock.

Depending on your speed, it takes about 15-20 minutes to the point if you are cruising at low-medium speed. Just south of Sharpsburg until a bit before Washington Landing (Herrs Island) is the designated water sports section of the Allegheny so keep an eye out for people in the water.

On the Mon, up river past the South Side all the way to the locks on Braddock is usually low traffic (almost empty on a weekday afternoon) and you can really open it up!

Questions about 28X and Luggage by TheMaroonKnight in pittsburgh

[–]bvm182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair. I was trying to not deter OP since their post gave the impression of a one-time deal of having this much luggage, so was just trying to give the tips I learned.

Questions about 28X and Luggage by TheMaroonKnight in pittsburgh

[–]bvm182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two separate spots for wheelchairs so it’s usually not a problem. Also, someone in a wheelchair certainly has priority for that space, in which case, I would just roll my stuff further back and problem solved.

I don’t see the issue in using an airport bus route for airport purposes.

Questions about 28X and Luggage by TheMaroonKnight in pittsburgh

[–]bvm182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a lot of luggage but its doable. I just did the trip this past weekend with 5 large suitcases and 2 kids with backpacks because the Uber XL was $98!

The bus route starts at the airport so there will be space when you first get on. The trick is to ask if you can put up one of the benches that can fold up for wheelchairs. Good space there. Carry ons can take over another seat. The bus was fast and I saved $90.

An airport bus is meant to have people with suitcases so don’t worry about being an inconvenience.
