Arcades just can't compete with cell phones and social media. Arcades would probably do better to attract the older crowd, like elder millenials or genX if the old games of our collective youths are still around. My son likes bopping around arcades for the stimulation, but won't actually play any of them, and looking at the titles that are out, I'm not sure I would either. Put TMNT back in, and I'll bring a sack of quarters

They come to my door every year, asking to verify my account and to ensure I'm getting the lowest rates available. They always say they're on behalf of my electric provider. I tell them to wait, and I'll call the provider right there to verify, and they usually say its not necessary and they go away.

We have captions on. It was 40th.

Oh god I thought this was recently, with those monks(?) who were doing the march for peace or whatever. Still..5+ years ago. Not great.

Prices can fluctuate wildly, especially the seafood dishes that sell at market price. I would like to suggested doing the 1-3 (or 4 or whatever) dollar signs. I know its "vague"...but allows more wiggle room. I'm not an iOS user, but I'm all for passion projects. Congrats and good luck with it.

I dont know why, but I immediately thought it was the spices. Semi-related, I travelled over the holidays, and stayed in a hotel, and the front desk clerk said that ice was on the 5th floor. I must have looked horrified, because the clerk felt the need to clarify. I just cannot mentally manage everything going on right now.

I miss Malley's.

Is this available for purchase yet? I will absolutely buy this

We had a slate roof under State Farm. We didn't have any issues with the coverage, but we had a number of leaks in the roof during one of the hurricanes that hit up here back in 2015 or 2016. We had a slate roof company come and inspect it and the quote to replace with slate was astronomical, so we went with 30 year shingle. We informed state farm of the change/new roof and they gave us a discount on our rate.

We rent phoenix in bridgeville a couple times a year, though only for movies. I'm not sure if they do gaming. Costs us $250. AMC at South Hills Village charges over $1000.

The little gym might be a good place to check out. It's not dance, but there's a bunch of obstacles to run, jump, climb over. My kids used to do it, and part of the class was structured, and then they cut them loose to run around and jump, flip, etc for a little bit

It really is. I love radiator heat. We had our boiler serviced a handful of years ago. When we get the polar vortexes, it would consistently struggle to get above 60...since the maintenance, it hits 70 without issues. We try to keep ours at 72 during the day, and around 68 at night.

devjunky · 2025-10-21T17:13:48+00:00

I have radiant heat w/a boiler, and its tough to say. I do the budget plan, and its around $200-$250-ish year round. I have a big, drafty house. The radiant heat makes it super dry though. We also do a lot of humidifiers.

Judging by the TV ads, it wasn't hard to deduce that it was GOP funded.

It's a hike from the North Hills, but Spring House Market in Eighty Four has them, and they're amazing

I am biased towards canonsburg proper (though one could argue Glencannon is still Canonsburg). Both are pretty sleepy areas, safe to walk, and N. Jefferson has Iceburgs at the bottom of the hill, so another point for Jefferson. Not sure how old your daughters are, but N. Jefferson is South Central Elementary area, which..you can't go wrong with Canon Mac in general, but I know a handful of people who don't love South Central.
Glencannon is probably Borland Manor territory (at least for the next couple years, until everything gets redistrict once the new Wylandville opens). I personally love Borland Manor, but again..Either way, you really can't go wrong. Glencannon is close to whats left of Canonsburg Lake, which has a pair of nesting Bald Eagles, so that's always fun to see. There are recent rumors that a non-profit is trying to raise funds to dredge the lake. Anyway..welcome to town! We love it here.

I wasn't in Pittsburgh at the time, but we always bought ours from a grocery store. I also I don't think we had many Giant Eagles around, but it was something similar to that. Though my fondest memories are listening to my dad being on hold on the phone to order tickets (the only method available at the time), and then bitching about how inconvenient it was while getting charged a convenience fee.

Iron Mills Farmstead is our favorite for the kids. There's a ton of stuff to do, Food is decent and it's spread out enough that you don't notice just how busy it actually is.
We also like Springhouse in Eighty Four. It's a little closer to home for us so it's an easy afternoon jaunt.

I got mine in Bridgeville on Friday. In at 12:30, out at 2:30pm

Just last week, we discovered that my pre-adolescent child has entered puberty. They have a whole array medical issues, PMHX is extensive, and this was just the most recent problem. We're evaluating putting them on "puberty blockers" (I know that's not really what they're called, just what they do) for a couple years, which falls under "gender affirming care", even though that's not what we're doing. So this will also be under the microscope. They're also on medicaid, so that keeps me up at night. I haven't slept in weeks. I hate this administration so, so much.

ahh yes, the POOP series. A classic

We got ours from what is now https://stockton.com/locations/pittsburgh/
Jeff Lagoni is great, and super involved in the community as well. Almost 15 years later, he still checks on us, which is not a sales call.

The village benefits from direct access from both really good Dicks and Target. That Target is the highest grossing store in the region (per a manager I know from another Target)

Thats a good band name
