When a felon is acting with more grace than you can muster it’s a real problem. I would consider checking your estrogen levels with a doctor! I have a feeling they may be too high which is leading to the teenage girl behavior.

Reply to Looking for a local Italian restaurant by dburnsii
Rico's off of Babcock. The owner is an old man from Italy and he's in the kitchen everyday. Seems like it would be a mafia hangout (I'm not saying it is, it just has those vibes.)
Village inn in Verona. Good food, great garlic bread. The restaurant is a little run down and dated, a real oldschool checkerboard tablecloth type Italian American restaurant.

Reply to comment by pAul2437 in 2 Western Pa. school districts shifted money around to raise taxes, Pa. auditor general says by Jumpy-Natural4868
The house has been sold twice since the last assessment. As far as I can tell the city / school district only reassess in hot neighborhoods.
The city and school district get 3% of our gross income so I'm not going to feel too bad about the low house assessment.

Do you like running? City of Bridges Run Club and Fleet Feet both have shortish runs during the week and longer runs on the weekend. They’re good for all skill levels and you can choose how much or little to interact with your fellow runners.

You as well! If you move they will be able to reassess and get the fair share

I live in the city. At no point in time was there ever a full lockdown. They even kept the liquor stores open. Everything was "essential."
Being forced to get takeout instead of eating in the dining room is not a "lockdown," no matter how much idiots claim it was.

It goes both ways. But in my experience it’s usually government employees going into the industry because it pays so much better.

What we currently have - but without having to worry about bent rims and collapsing bridges and whether my bus driver showed up to work today and thinking about detours every time it rains.

I enjoyed it but my return flight got cancelled and ended up being a boondoggle.

LeoGreta in Carnegie is what you are looking for. They grow and hand make most of the menu items.

It's pretty far away. You don't get to choose to live outside the county and then receive priority access to the city center

Basically more trains - light rail and commuter rail. More public restrooms and water fountains. Repair of the steps/placing more city steps in the places people live now

That’s always been my understanding as well. In the dimock frack documentary you can even see a guy make an appearance as a state worker and then later at the end as an industry worker

It would be great if we moved them all. There's enough other jobs now and we could deal with less pollution. At least get rid of the coke factories ffs.

And yet pharmaceutical reps were able to lay the groundwork for much of the opioid crisis with nothing more than free food and stationary. Never underestimate how easily many people can be influenced.

Looks entirely reasonable. Food, refreshments limited to federal per diem, certificates and awards. Pretty common sense. Still bans cash, tickets, etc.
