I hope this was a less than a full article. Other wise it is like watching the same prequel for the last 50 yrs. It is a shame that we have to keep educating the public about the many bad things that were planned, just before and after WWII to create American city ghettos. Some of us have known the causes for years, but we never get to the phase of possible cures. Its no different than watching a movie about the black death but never getting to the cure. I am not sure if a full length article comparing Bolton Hill to Mondawmin would be any better, as I know the article would spend most of its ink on rehashing what is already known.
What I want to hear are possible solutions and plans to try them, evaluate them and move on to the next one if that one does not work. I don't expect the first one or the 100th one to be the perfect answer. That is how research is done. Edison failed hundreds of times, with his invention of the incandescent light, even the one that did work, better than the others, had to be refined. We have spent 50 yrs in the idle mode. always listening to the nay-sayers and fear mongers who want the status quo to continue. Most of them are located out side the city anyway.

Thought so but always get a little nervous

When I was in my 20’s, I had bars for when I was trying to get laid, but I didn’t want to be seen by anyone I knew (e.g I was trying to land a cougar). The old Bad Decisions was great for that.

I always forget Utsuke is there. Kippo is my favorite spot though.

The movie theater opening back up at harbor east you could try that and a good ramen spot downtown

An afternoon movie should be fine, just keep an eye on traffic reports through the morning. The temperature drop's not supposed to really start until the precipitation's over, and roads aren't going to freeze while people are driving on them. I'd be more worried about eating it on a sidewalk.

Sounds about right.

Though there was a decent one in 2018 iirc

Utsuke Ramen is awesome

Utsuke ramen is awesome

Liora is great. Or the ramen place!

This is great, after moving here from the south the one thing that stood out to me was the lack of outside dinning made everywhere feel dead. My only concern is if the price is sustainable and wether a restaurant will have to pay it for all year round or just in the warmer months when outdoor dinning is popular.

Illusions is great. A little on the higher end price point, and you also run into the problem of not talking too much because you're at a show.

Yeah. 90s md always got a few snow days a year, and sometimes many. Snow could also come as early as October and as late as April.

And every few years was a big blizzard, which was fun in its way.

When was our last blizzard? 2016? Almost 7 years ago?

Good doesn't equate to good for a date. I respect the idea of Ice Skating as a first date activity but for food I'd recommend venturing into Fells or Fed Hill.

Fuck it. I lived on Greenmount Ave in 99. Shit was cray

Ignore this ignorant motherfucker. Sorry this idiot somehow conflates your experiences with...whatever he's thinking.

I saw that one by the entrance to I-70 out down Forest Park.

Gift card to a great family photographer?

Nah. Should be salted by then.

If you’re going to consider shake shack good, then places like CFA, Chipotle, Corner Bakery, Kabul, Attman’s, Asian Fusion, and the little halal cart by powerplant can be considered good to someone. I don’t know this guys budget or what him and his date like.

Your solution? Let's say they catch this 15 year old who methodically planned out and forcibly raped a woman. Are you going to therapize this behavior away?

This isn't shoplifting, or a fight. Or even armed robbery. Or even battery. It's violent rape by a stronger male of a vulnerable woman. This kind of thing doesn't just ruin the life of the woman. This trauma will infect those around her, and it will get passed down in one form or another to future generations.

The justice system isn't trying to fix this person, it's trying to dissuade the rapist's classmate or neighbor from doing the same.

None of the guardrails that are supposed to keep this individual from doing this worked up to this point. But suddenly this person is going to respond to tough love from a state appointed counselor?

We left yesterday on our drive to the Pittsburgh area to avoid the weather. Planning on coming back Monday late morning. Do you think we'll have any issues?

Because there isn't anything good to eat around the inner harbor. Except maybe Shake Shack which isn't date worthy. Are you suggesting the OP take his date to tourist traps like Phillips?
