Waffle house is the only restaurant around here that returned to normal operating hours after COVID sadly

It's also not the worst drive ever, 376 to 79 and out to Washington

I really just feel bad for the kids these days man, 1am and every Sheetz parking lot is full, not because Sheetz is just "the place to be", but because there's nowhere else to go that late.

Man, I miss the old Eat-n-Park midnight buffet back in the early 90s. We'd show up at 1:00AM and eat like kings. Then hate ourselves the next day. But man, it was so good at the moment

If I were the casino, and wanted some late night foot traffic (read potential gamblers), I would make some of the eateries in there 24/7. I mean the casino is open 24/7 anyway.

My parents live in the Philadelphia area and are hard pressed to find anything that is open past midnight when they go out with friends. They have reverted to eating before the movie/show/etc. It is not just Pittsburgh.

Could be, probably. But something like this can also reduce subsequent response times or spread unneeded responses out to false alarms and provide inadequate support at an actual event.

It’s becoming so easy to spoof things like this, it seems foolish to think a particularly meticulous shooter wouldn’t consider it leading up to planned attacks.

I know it sounds like more suburban dad fear mongering, but really it goes to show that the focus of improving “crisis event responses” is insufficient as opposed to solutions to root causes. And I mean actual root causes beyond just “common sense” gun control too - mental health coverage, improving home life through universal SE supports, and diversion programs to give more kids a spark to pursue.

Coop: most expensive, great for smaller groups, no children past a certain time, food above average, lots of arcade and pinball games (surprising number of pinball machines), plus pool & bowing

Shortys: average prices, better for larger groups, no children, it’s basically 5-star Taco Bell, good mixture of games (bowling, shuffleboard, foosball, bocce)

D&B: above average prices, kids everywhere, prize counter, below average food, it’s a child casino so there’s interesting selection of games

Barcadia: It’s just a bar. No food however it’s on market square and they’ll let you bring in whatever. Good for smaller groups or dates. Cocktails are on the more expensive side (actually more expensive than Fl. 2 and that’s a award winning restaurant inside of the regions only 5 star hotel). It’ll always be Bruggers bagels to me.

This is how every city in America collects taxes now. Why charge old people who bought a house for $50k on an asset worth $300k when you can just charge people who are buying homes now? Old people vote, and they're never going to vote for making themselves pay their fair share because they already spent all the money living happy lives.

Brewery wise I think starting at Necromancer for some unique beers, then a stop at grist house for some outdoor action and unique beers, then finishing at strange roots for a sour and some pittsburgh sandwich society might be the best brewery crawl possible. Wouldnt be hard to add hop farm, cinderlands, eleventh hour and/or trace from there either.

But if you are going to be in the south hills anyways, might want to keep it simple with spoonwood (great bbq too) and hitchhiker.

Sq hill has a new northern china eatery, amazing dumplings, that I recommend
