Reply to Chicken Keeping In Pittsburgh by ClothesGreen8716
My neighbors have them. Their fence is not very secure and they are often loose, which scares me because one time they got into my yard and my dog was chasing them…but I mostly was just upset that the chicken is now traumatized 😂 other than that, they are very quiet and I’ve had no issues. Especially when they share their eggs!

A lot of people don't realize how secure a coop needs to be, chicken wire doesn't cut it! Small predators can easily get through that. Just curious about the rooster situation... did they leave him in an outdoor coop?

I’ve owned my home for almost 16 years and I still get mail from 3 owners ago. Not just spam mail either, medical bills, life insurance letters, one time a credit card.

Neighbor had some two doors down in Brookline until the hawks, foxes, or coyotes got in. The sounds didn’t bother me too much. Would have been better if they didn’t have a rooster. The hens clucking was minimal and I didn’t notice any smells. Go for it!

Also, since it seems like you are struggling, what about calling or walking into resolve for an evaluation? Maybe you need a higher level of care than what outpatient can provide right now? They can assess you and together you can go through the treatment options. Also, it's free

In the late 90s I had a coworker that lived on one docked of Washington’s landing. It was nice until it wasn’t. And by that I mean when the River froze over and the ice floe ripped her home from its mooring and dumped it by the Point.

Not in pgh but moraine state park has loads of paved trails. Marshall township has miles and miles of crushed limestone trails and sidewalks and you can also run along the road because it's a pretty quiet area. Park in thorn hill industrial park.

you used to need to apply for a permit - https://apps.pittsburghpa.gov/dcp/Urban_Agriculture_Handout_New_Legislation_Version.pdf
But now it seems you don't -

I'd still call the city anyway to find out the exact requirements. It seems that you need a decent amount of space even for a few chickens within the city, and not many people have that much space especially if you're in an east end neighborhood.

A few weeks ago, I made this for my teen sons. They were horrified by it. It was hysterical to watch their reaction. It’s such a throwback to a very specific era in Pittsburgh history.

I only read the sub in a browser using the old.Reddit url. I don’t have community settings on either.

I used to drive to homestead shopping plaza where the AMC cinema is, park by eat n park and run the trail out of the city towards McKeesport. You run along a railway line, past the bottom of kennywood. If you want to go far enough you can cross the pedestrian bridge across the river into McKeesport. Cool run.
You could also park at Millvale and run along the river into and through the city all the way up to the old jail on the Ohio river and back. Could be a bit dicey though with all the encampments along that stretch of the river now, don’t do it near dusk or when there’s not many people around imho.

Reply to comment by TexanInExile in Boat Gone by mmwwmm37
It was the boat from the famous SNL The Lonely Island video. T-Pain brought it here for a Steelers game in the late fall of last year since he's a big fan. That's the game he sang both the National Anthem and led the Terrible Towel wave. Had it transported to Cincinnati, sailed it the rest of the way since he likes seeing this part of the country. Took him a week.
It got stuck after the engine broke and unfortunately for him it was right before a big flood, so the boat took on water and got stuck in the riverbed.
He's been trying to move it for months but then it started leaking fuel (prob from a cracked hull from river debris) so he had to get a boat salvage team, but the river has been running high for a while so this was the first time he could salvage the boat in weeks.
Sad story.

I would absolutely go batshit if someone tried to separate me from my 18 month old, and he was even more helpless as a 15 month old.

It's one of those inexplicable Pittsburgh things that we outsiders will never understand. Like omitting the infinitive in sentences.

> I don’t think I have insurance and would probably have to pay out of pocket
Go to Pennie and apply. If you qualify for Medicaid they will send you that way. You may also qualify for a subsidy for an ACA plan.
Also you need to be 100 percent sure if you have insurance or not because some providers can get in trouble for billing someone private pay rates if they accept the insurance you have.

Did you tell wilkinsburg? They probably need to investigate and then call out wpj water.
I lived near there in the past and wilkinsburg for all of its faults had quick response to these situations.

Spray paint a penis next to it. Seems to expedite the repair process in other cities.
