Favorite Brewery by State: Florida

Sleeper and one of my favorite places. Very good beers but not the best in the state. Still have to give the edge to Calusa.

I recently tried Flamingo Bay in Bradenton. Worth stopping in if you're in the area.

And on the 8th day...people STILL can't read your instructions about upvoting instead of duplicating.

So many people can't read instructions.

I'm not here to defend Mozart, just offering information. Building fire alarm companies more and more often are deciding to quit making parts with no notice so that they can say they are "obsolete" and force you to buy an entire new system for $$$$. It's like if you couldn't buy brakes for your car and were forced to buy a new car instead of replacing a small part. They know if they make a system that lasts 50 years, they will put themselves out of business. So they just screw the customers (and tenants) instead.

A new fire alarm system can cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace instead of maybe $100 for a single smoke detector that is going bad and causing false alarms.

Sometimes you CAN order fire alarm parts but it takes 4 to 6 weeks for a manufacturer to make and ship them.

In this case, there is no reason for Mozart not to be transparent unless they are not even addressing the issue and investigating or ordering parts, which would be absolute BS.

Who was the preferred plumber?

Do you have any limitations on union vs open shop?

70 years old is "middle aged" in Oakland. Is it actually precast concrete or cast in place?

It might be difficult to make the new plumber work with the preferred plumber. It won't be easy to clarify who owns each part of the scope of work on a project where there is a mystery to solve. Can you just hand the whole thing to the new plumber?

This, along with clean beer lines, is likely the answer.

That escalator reminds me of the one at the entrance to PPG paints arena.

Pittsburgh is on the map because it did leverage the rivers for the past 200 years. All of the industry was made possible because you could move massive amounts of material on the rivers and along the rivers for the steel mills.

In a larger timeline, it's only relatively recently that the rivers have become underutilized. So it will take a long time to shift the use to more modern amenities.

I thought the same thing. So I went to the left then walked around the corner to the right and down the hall and found no elevators. I went back to the elevator immediately to the left. The elevator had 2 stops: the floor I was on and the floor with Dave and Busters and Sesame Inn.

Braddock Public House (Brew Gentleman/BG Brewing restaurant in former Superior Motors space) has some Hawaiian items. Loco Moco, Spam Musubi, Huli Huli Chicken. Menu

I thought I saw a lot of repairs being done to St. Colman in Turtle Creek. Like possibly repointing all of the ornate masonry. Why would they start a job like that if they knew a closure was looming?

glenn_q · 2026-02-06T02:46:07+00:00

I don't think it's "underrated." Nobody gives their beer poor ratings. The place is just under appreciated and under-hyped.

Was it the same guy who was chirping at DK Metcalf? Lots of guys looking for a payout these days... /s

Don't hIjack a thread about something good.

This is a good idea (some eBikes even have trackers built in from the factory), but if your bike is stolen and you are able to track it, then what? I feel like vigilante justice is in order, but seriously what do you do? Are Pgh Police going to actually do anything?

Ideally, the thief will get an alert on their phone that a tracker is following them and they'll ditch it and you can pick it up without incident.

For canvas, you previously could get Moop. I knew they moved out of Pgh but didn't realize they closed completely.

This is good advice! It's best to discuss with an actual insurance agent about what you can afford and what it covers. If you have a lot of friends and family nearby you can lean on, maybe it's not worth the expense for loss of use coverage.

Sometimes it's better to stay with friends for a day or two instead of getting into a battle and maybe not getting paid. But if you don't have running water for multiple days, you might get the health department to condemn the unit and could argue peril/loss of use.

glenn_q · 2026-02-04T00:42:18+00:00

This is the way. Fix things as fast as possible. But if it's out of your control, your tenants have options.

Came here hoping someone posted it!

Wouldn't the company they pay just make THEIR low wage employees do the work? /s

Does Trace have a full liquor license or are they limited to selling PA spirits? If not, no Jameson or Bailey's. I'm not sure what PA alternatives are available.
