I'm more confused by the idea of Heinz making pasta sauce, but it appears this is a UK product:
https://www.absolut.com/en/campaign/heinz-x-absolut/ > Heinz x Absolut Tomato Vodka Pasta Sauce is only available in the UK.
But then OP claims to have seen the ad at the store?

You prob want strip district or lower lawrencville. Next to the stadiums is some decent stuff too. All depends on your specific scene that you prefer.

Monterey Pub is a 15-20 min walk from the stadium. And Western Avenue on the North Side has several nice eateries and spots.

Nope. Just abandoned it. It's amazing they can't be billed for getting rid of the boat.

There's a Hoss' in Belle Vernon that my parents and I often go to when I drive down to visit them (they moved the Belle Vernon several years ago).
I actually like it there. Their "cleaver cut" is sorta like a filet and really good for the price.
The place is literally like stepping back in time 30 if not 40 years; it's amazing in that regard.
They seem to do good business there; always pretty busy when we go.

Near the stadium, the North shore is pretty decent for groups. A short walk away is the northside which has tons of smaller places that you can easily hop to.
Downtown isn't too bad either to hop for a group and it's an easy walk across the bridge to the stadium.
If you want a crazy atmosphere; the Southside is the place to be on Friday/Saturday night.
If you want the upscale area, Shadyside is your best bet to uber to.

Vodka pasta sauce is a modern concoction (70s), nobody is sure from where. NYC and Italy both make claims. The branding is of course just marketing. I might give it a try.

It's not complicated at all, bureaucrats make it complicated.

Frank and Abel on Instagram is a Pittsburgh based furniture dealer that does a lot with Mid-Century Modern pieces. They likely have more than what's listed on their page. It might be worth reaching out to them

Great, but it's still the state legislature that makes it this hard in the first place.

Today is actually open sign up day for McKeesport Community Garden. You put $30 down for a bed, and you get $10 back at the end of the season.
They have regular work partnership days, they ask you to try and attend a few each season, and you're expected to attend two meetings a year.
If you can't make it out there today message them on Facebook

Not a bad idea, thank you! We were hoping of joining an existing one as a means of meeting new people, though.

I think it would be ideal to keep a little of the harvest but it’s definitely not a requirement. Thanks for the rec!

The problem might be that kids (my kids at least) rarely wear pants with a zipper. I’m walking around in the same pair of jeans or dockers all week. They’re wearing shorts or these stretchy nice sweatpants things with no zipper.
The times they are a changin.

In fact, in most cases the Pennsylvania Code places the burden of salvaging abandoned boats on Fish and Boat.
It's a state agency that has stepped up and trying to deal with it, while everybody else is saying "not our problem".

Drive around your area and look for properties with large or double lots, often corner lots and ask the owner to rent part of it

Crafton has a nice-size community garden and always welcomed volunteers, although most of the produce is donated to the Crafton-Ingram food bank. Not sure if you’re looking specifically for one where you keep some of the harvest.

Shot in raw using highlight weighted metering to better preserve the highlights in the sky. For editing I used lightroom. Increased the exposure and shadows to bring the bridge and buildings out again. For colors used the original white balance it was shot at and slightly increased the saturation and vibrance to bring out the yellow bridge and red building.
