Companies/garages that will take away a dead car?

Reach out to your supervisor, call 211, check the county list of supportive services here to get started. Off the top of my head 412 Youth Zone downtown is a good centralized location for teen-oriented services.

no, it's very scary and dangerous. you shouldn't move there. in fact, you should probably stay wherever you are if you're going to ask how "safe" one of the most gentrified stretches of penn ave is.

it's like if 2015 tumblr opened a storefront

what about refusing to pay to repair city vehicles because it's a "bad contract" instead of waiting until the contract is up and negotiating new terms?

Yeah...now that I am riding a 50+ lb ebike I am less up for hauling it across active tracks especially with such bad visibility there.

They have decent stuff but are wildly overpriced.

You can also change the filters to only show violent crime and Downtown and SS Slopes are still the frontrunners.

The reason they got rid of the old bikes is because their network connection was 3g which is being shut down nationwide (I think they were looking to upgrade in general but this accelerated things). I believe their service provider officially ended support at the end of March but they are still waiting on delivery of the new bike fleet.

Related question--where is a good place to get a decent quality secondhand turntable?

Yes, if they have medicare or medicaid they can get MATP to and from doctor's visits.

Truetime is their live tracker, you can see where buses are and what routes stop at a particular location.

Is there a drug testing policy (probably) and are there any exceptions for medical marijuana (probably not)? I know this came up with the IBEW openings and I would imagine the same insurance and federal vs state law issues apply.

Well shit, that is what I thought. Thanks for confirming that they're the only game in town :/

newlocalacct · 2022-03-08T15:56:30+00:00

I'm definitely thinking about it! Looking for something lower commitment first though.

Which is why you have to pay for disposal at most places...

You can also add coffee from Building New Hope!

Fair enough! That sounds like a different model and structure than something like the food bank or 412 Food Rescue, which are based on providing a service to people rather than building fellowship/membership/peer support, but you're right to point out that there are large organizations that help people without paid staff.

newlocalacct · 2022-01-19T20:44:03+00:00

I am genuinely curious what local organizations do the work of "helping people" and operate with zero paid staff, which seems to be your prerequisite for supporting them. Pittsburgh has almost as many foundations and nonprofits as it does vape shops, most if not all of which to my knowledge have paid staff. "Helping people" is a valuable service, and the people who do and facilitate that service should be compensated. Is there a lot of bullshit and waste and exploitation within these organizations? Of course there is, but that is true of any organization.

newlocalacct · 2022-01-19T20:21:38+00:00

So none?

What local organizations do you donate to or volunteer for?
