I’m lucky I live in north Fayette, I’m close enough to shop n save Aldi market district and Walmart to compare prices and make a divided list. I’m picky, so most of my produce is market district. Expensive, but I recognize I’m in the minority that I like it the most.

Best book! ❤️

Isnt the bottled water just some other municipal water supply, with some additional filtration .

Finally, a question for my undervalued expertise!

Long time Pondo fan here. I'm not sure that's something to be admitting out loud these days, but one of my first jobs was at one and back then it was a decent place to grab an average steak and buffet. It has retained a soft spot in my Midwestern heart ever since.

It has changed through the years but there has been a drastic and unfortunate downturn in the already mediocre quality ever since the pandemic. We ate at the Butler location in December for the first time since covid hit and I doubt we'll go back. It wasn't a horror story or anything--the place was clean enough and they kept the food fresh--but the quality was just awful.

Most foods were bewilderingly bland. The buffet chicken wings, for example, were the most tasteless wings we have ever eaten. The desserts were the same. My partner's go to entree, the sirloin tips, used to come in with a decent amount of sirloin tip chunks, lots of onion slices and whole sauteed mushrooms. This time it was a far smaller amount of lesser quality meat with just a few onion slivers and sliced mushroom bits.

So no, it isn't a death trap or health hazard, but just a huge letdown. It's like having a craving for grandma's homemade mashed potatoes you remember from your childhood and ending up with Aldi instant potato flakes made with tap water.

Good point. I was probably about 10 now that I think about it.

my friends and i use it! we’re 20-22

Love a home grown Mancini bread yinzer.

Still do, I'm almost 40 and a born and bread yinzer

Happy to do what I can to keep Pittsburgh slang going!

Pittsburgh Pierogi Truck is very solid. Old ladies were in line in front of me in the rain without plastic babushkas so….that’s all you need to know. And Pierogis plus sucks. Get ‘em in the freezer aisle before you go all the way to the Rocks.

I mean, the kid's 10. I'm pretty sure that's around when I first heard it, like 5th grade. That and "XYZ." But the kid who told me was as flabbergasted as you that I hadn't heard it, so who the hell knows.

Thanks, fellow North Boro dweller!

You make me proud, young one.

I won't pretend to know why she was fired, but it didn't have anything to do with being a woman. She had to fuck up bad to lose her spot on the board, there's a reason everyone even within the company is so tight-lipped about it.

I'm your age and I learned about it when I was somewhere between 10 and 13, so I guess it's time for him to learn it as well.

Still remember the day I learned the phrase when I was 6 years old and my uncle told me at my cousin's birthday that Kennywood was open and I ran over to my mom excited and told her and she said sorry bud but that just means your zipper is down, it's February the actual Kennywood isn't open. Such disappointment and confusion all at once 😂

Something’s amiss then, bc the rochester crowd is reporting prices through the roof and quality way down, for some months now.

21 and I use it

I buy water from whole foods in refillable 3 gallon jugs (They also sell 5 gallon jugs) it's $.39/gallon and it's the best water around. The jugs usually last a couple years & are only around $25

Confirmed singleton, thanks.

That’s not how that works I’m afraid

First time I heard this. My goto :

What do airplanes do ? ... yours don't.

I'm a transplant but got to experience Eides when it was in the previous location one building over, and had all the AMAZING vintage posters, flyers, promo materials, etc, on the walls. Tons of great import versions of stuff that back then you'd have to buy online at CD Universe or CD Now.
