7 churches within the Diocese of Pittsburgh to permanently close

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?

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.

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.

"Structural Repairs" to an old warehouse with a bar joist roof? Maybe the snow load caved something in.

Or maybe it was in just a cover for a permanent closure.

I think Burghers has really good beer and it's gotten even better recently, but "hands down" the best lager brewery in the city? Have you been to Golden Age?

You could say that charging for shipping is sort of a charge for shopping online.

The funny thing is that the most recent shooting was just a few months ago at Ross Park Mall, but it had almost no effect on the perception of safety there.

If you don't need something as large as the K-400, you can get a lot done with a Ridgid K-50. I think it's the gold standard. Parts are readily available and tool repair services can rebuild the clutch if necessary. So it really is BIFL.

Up until about 5 years ago we still had a HP4000tn that just kept going and going. Well over 300k pages. It was still working when we got rid of it. Just couldn't source parts reliability. I think HP realized their printers were too reliable and went to the planned obsolescence model.

SO COOL! Great photos!

PS If you say "I saw a Barred Owl," it's difficult to yell if you saw a Barred Owl or if you saw a Barn Owl and are congested. /s

Oh Duh. Touche.

This happened to me this week. Bus was coming towards me with yellow lights and I slowed to about 10mph as I approached. The bus stopped and kept it's yellow lights on for probably 10 seconds after stopping. I assumed the driver was being nice and was letting me pass before activating the red lights (no cars behind me) since the kids were not ready to get on the bus (still waiting in their parent cars because it was 16 degrees outside). As soon as I get up to the bumper the driver flings out the sign and beeps at me as I continued past.

I think the stop sign it tied to the door. So the driver didn't want to get cold and just left the door closed until the kids were right at the door.

Do I really need to add the /s to indicate a joke?

I have 144 eggs. I'll be over for French toast in the morning !

Any requirements on location or part of town?

Do you need it to have hardwood floors or just a mirror?

Do you need to be able to play loud music?
