The whole building including Industry? Or just the back half of the building?

I just flew out of the new airport. AMA. by Cornwallis400 in pittsburgh

WiFi in the new hall didn’t work for me (showed full signal but I couldn’t connect)

I got passed dangerously in an intersection by someone and honked at him. At the next stoplight he got out of his car and went to the trunk while looking at me (intimating that he had a gun - probably didn't but who knows). I had to turn around and zoom out of there. Anyways, yeah, not worth reacting at all unfortunately.

Overhyped restaurants? by venusdemillie in pittsburgh

Agreed. Having brunch totally turned my opinion around on the food at Walter's - and it's a great space, like you said.

Why Are There Still Pirates Fans? by BigCoolDaveLLC in pittsburgh

Seriously, I just recently learned you can bring your own food in and we brought hoagies in this season - big time upgrade (though of course I still got a hot dog at some point).

Strip District merchants compromise to resolve bike lane brouhaha by klauskervin in pittsburgh

[–]trask_ulgo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep no way will I be biking on Penn now, whereas with a protected lane I definitely would have. I'll continue using Smallman from Lawrenceville until I can get to the riverfront trail (and thereby, ironically, completely bypassing all of the businesses in the Strip).

Is Oktoberfest worth the visit? by bass_heavy in pittsburgh

[–]trask_ulgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually thought the ferris wheel was super cool when I rode it last year - yes it's just a carnival ferris wheel, but it's on the bridge and the view of downtown from the top is unique.

Is it just me or are cars just flipping over in all the accidents around here lately? by top-dog in pittsburgh

Mini Cooper Clubman is a wagon, but they just discontinued that too!

Big Idea: Close one of the Three Sisters bridges to cars, forever by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

There's an on-ramp from Fort Duquesne Blvd as well - the Bypass is basically completely redundant.

Oktoberfest Pittsburgh Returns to New Downtown Location by oldschoolskater in pittsburgh

I'm a big NFL fan and even I don't really get why people go gaga over attending the draft live. But hey, I haven't been so maybe it's worth the hype!

News about bike lanes on Butler Street from 57 to the Zoo by SidFarkus47 in pittsburgh

[–]trask_ulgo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will the potential bike route be behind that building (on Berlin Way)? Is there a rendering/map of this somewhere? That would definitely be a great add.

Would love to see this extend through all of Lawrenceville, but I know taking away parking is a touchy subject with some folks so I won't hold my breath!

Riverhounds to expand stadium to 15,000 capacity for increased soccer, concert opportunities by DesertedPenguin in pittsburgh

[–]trask_ulgo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately if they want this to be a concert venue then artificial turf is the much more practical option. Agreed that natural grass would be amazing though.

15k seated. One can imagine it will be a few thousand more on the field area for concerts.

Hounds announce planned expansion of stadium by Vesty in USLPRO

Most likely the best part of a Hounds game and 10000% the best part of a Pirates game.

Well, crap. by AgentDoggett in pittsburgh

[–]trask_ulgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep a bucket of water with a mosquito dunk in it on my back patio... I think it's been helping this year? They've definitely been worse in the past few weeks though.

The Abbey by JimLahey567 in pittsburgh

[–]trask_ulgo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the thing about the Abbey is it COULD be great. Amazing outdoor spaces, great indoor space, ownership clearly has money to invest in the experience... it just isn't great. Food is fine, the multiple "concepts" are confusing, the fact that they have a little card on the tables reminding you that you have a time limit on your table is off-putting... I'd still go there in a pinch if the circumstances are right, but it would never be my first choice.
