either way, they're always super nice when I'm in there.

The bonus round is getting all the way into the left lane on the Ft. Pitt bridge so you can take the left lane of the outbound tunnel and have less of a chance of getting stuck behind a car going 25 mph through the tunnel and up the hill after the tunnel.

I just grip it and rip it on that Bigelow exchange.

Dr. Robert J. Ruffner has his own practice next to Upmc but he does use their facilities.

They couldn't even get to the street before unloading after going to chipotle.

Shit, maybe I’ve jumped timelines. I could be wrong, but I swear I’ve left there with balloons!

I made no such argument or assumption. I just brought to light that your snarky stock market comment was not a fair comparison.

Ham barbecue lol

Fantastic! I’ll call them tomorrow. I wasn’t sure because their website said “air fill only” on most of their balloon listings.

LoL, ok buddy. Wish in one hand, shit in the other

Trader Joe's 1000-day is also bomb.

Shut up

Fitness Factory in/near Shadyside has a ton of equipment for bodybuilding—a good gym if you don’t find the aesthetic strange

Maybe consider Berk's Menswear in North Huntingdon if you're open to a little bit of a drive.

Heinz Healey's downtown could probably do something in that range. Their custom suits are pricier than that but they have some pretty nice off-the-rack suits they can adjust. Much better than any big box department store.

I didn't say there weren't. Maybe "global helium shortage" would be a good time to just go without balloons full of it for a bit. Just inflate some with your lungs and tie them up high.

The sequence of R-R-L-L-R-L (think I got that right) in a few seconds to go from 28 south to the Ft Pitt Tunnel onto Parkway West is like playing DDR on expert. The overhead signs visible about a millisecond before you pass under them are chefs kiss of confusion.

Your might want to consider a cardiologist that is in the same network as your PCP then. Of course they will always sent the result to your pcp but it seamless is what your looking for...

Exercise warehouse. Weights downstairs and stretching and punching bags upstairs.

Panda Supermarket usually has them in the freezer section

“I wonder how much deferred investment there is if they don’t use it much. I don’t know what speed it’s rated for or what it would cost to bring the rails up to speed to be competitive with a busway. Are there any double track sections for passing? Also they would need to budget a place to store and maintain the trains.”

Some track improvements would need done and some sidings added, I’m sure. But the cost of that, the maintenance facility, and buying the DMUs vs paving the whole thing damn ROW? Not even close! And that’s not even factoring the much higher labor costs per rider of operating a busway.

“I wonder how many of the 45,000 New Kensington area work in downtown Pittsburgh.”

Why are you thinking of this as only the people who live in the town of the terminus commuting to Downtown? That would be like viewing the T as a commuter line between South Hills Village and Downtown and ignoring every connection in between. How many people would ride from Verona to Lawrenceville? Or from the Strip to Oakmont? Or take a short bus connector from Penn Hills or the Waterworks? Those are the riders that need to be factored in when considering ridership, along with the big picture of building a transit system where one can get from roughly any point A to any point B in a reasonable amount of time regardless of mode, and rapid transit for the Allegheny Valley is a big missing link.

“The busway option would be more convenient for servicing oakland but slower than the train for downtown. On the other hand 13 miles of busway would probably cost a billion dollars and seems excessive considering it’s not congested or part of the core network.”

Last I read, the plans for the Brilliant Branch are to turn it into a bike path. I doubt Port Authority gets anywhere with it.

“It seems like cities the size of Pittsburgh are getting shut out from the large chunks of funding that go to rail projects. The larger ridership, larger population growth and willingness to raise taxes to match federal funds is a factor in pittsburgh being at a disadvantage to other cities.”

All the more reason to go with the most cost-effective form of rapid transit!

Schorin Company does balloons.

I've had good luck with the party city in millvale in the past! You could try giving them a call?

It is absolutely valid because it's about data representation. And it depends on purpose of this particular data reforestation. And your (and only your) assumption is that purpose of this particular case is to show that North got more snow then South. And like I pointed out this is not always the case. So you are introducing a big no-no to data representation - - inconsistencies. While country order is always consistent.
