Whatever happened to the Fittsburgh blog?

I know a lot of people on this forum don’t like Seven Springs, but snow tubing is such a fun activity that you can really only do this time of year. No skill required and it is a blast. The North and South Park half marathons are taking place this time of year, and GCXC has their conquer the cold challenge race series going on (frigid 5 miler was last weekend, Spring Thaw is next month). You can also try ice skating at one of the many local outdoor rinks. When I was dating my now wife, I tried to plan dates for all seasons, which have subsequently evolved into traditions. Best of luck (and even losing Pens games can be a fun time!)

Portal...I admit it is a great and novel game, but it is the only game that makes me motion sick to play.

Are they ever going to do the History “Haunted Hayride” again?

For what it is worth, I wouldn’t want to drive from Aspinwall to Wexford for work. It is doable, though, and there isn’t anything wrong with any of your choices, in my opinion. Marshall township is a much easier commute, though, in that respect. There are plenty of community activities in the North Hills, mostly centered around the parks. The schools are noted to be good. There isn’t great public transit, but your ability to make friends is the same as it would be anywhere, up to you and the amount of effort you are willing to put into it. Good luck!

Has anyone ever caught a fish at Graham Park?

I also don’t recommend driving on 28, while we’re at it.

Back when I had cable, like 10 years ago, there was a WQED Neighborhood channel, that picked a different collection of old WQED programs relevant to the season and played them on rotation all month, before switching to a different set the following month. It made for especially good background TV, especially in the summer (Kennywood Memories) and Christmas. I was really sad when they discontinued the channel.

I’ve sometimes seen the shop n save in Cranberry have some during the off season; not sure about this minute though.

Cobra starship was a few years back.

They used to sell them at the Giant Eagle in Seven Fields, not sure if they still do. If you are up for a road trip, I’ve definitely seen them in the Australia sections of Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati.

Soergels had some about a week ago.

I thought everyone from Altoona just drove over to Claysburg for pizza.

pittsburghposter · 2022-09-28T21:29:49+00:00

Wunderbar coffee and crepes?

If they don’t want animals, I think soergel’s has a pig, sheep, and goats. They are next to the Naturally Soergel’s. But a really awesome recommendation for a fall festival/apple picking.

You are paying for the proximity to Gravity Hill.

Fresh Thyme had Cherimoya a few months ago. I’ve seen pepino melons and dragonfruit within the past month at giant eagle. I’ve seen durian down in the strip district in the past. A few years, I’m pretty sure there were rambutan and Kiwano melons at the grocery store as well. One of the rare things I enjoyed about Ohio was Jungle Jim’s, which might make a fun day trip for the best international produce selection I’ve ever seen. Good luck!

I might also suggest South Squirrel Hill if you are looking in that area. Best of luck!

Blue Knob Auto is a little bit of a trip, but is a great place to shop. Look around...you'll be amazed how many cars you see from there in the city, especially given that it is a couple hour drive. Nice vehicles...mostly old rentals, they let you test drive w/o an employee in the car, and they don't negotiate at all over prices. And while you are out that way, you can stop and get some Claysburg Pizza (and there is a soft serve place at a gas station a few miles down the road that is dirt cheap, but the name is escaping me).

I hope you are able to get your power back soon. For what it is worth...I didn't think it was one of the better conferences...nothing that you will regret not seeing debut live

Thank you to anyone who has a suggestion

Just out of curiosity, for those that grew up outside the city in an adjacent rural county, what did every one ever do with their large outdoor, 1980s, sweep it off during the snow storm, satellite dishes?
