I think the press conference regarding Kennywood went horribly wrong. My understanding was it was supposed to focus on Glock switches and how dangerous they are. And the state laws don’t really allow for people to be held accountable. Only federal laws do. They even demonstrated at a shooting range how deadly they can allow a Glock to be. But the media gave the shooting range very little coverage.

The shooter in the Kennywood incident had a Glock switch. The only reason the incident wasn’t worse was because it jammed. To me, that point was lost in the press conference. But to be fair, it also wasn’t conveyed properly.

Must consider Shadyside. Contact Franklin West. They own a lot of older buildings in all price ranges. Also call sterling real estate. A friend recommends them. They have a couple big old buildings within walking distance of CMU.

On bikeability. Shadyside and Oakland are in a large relatively flat part of the city. CMU is also in the same flat part. Squirrel Hill is a hill climb or 2 depending where you live from campus. You will get used to biking the hills if you pick sq. Hill. Downtown, south side, north side, strip district and Lawrenceville are below CMU, so live there and you are biking up to CMU. Again doable, but you’ll be climbing.

Good to know. That's always what happened for me before, unless I had a cavity, or I have been charged for a portion of the x-rays. Getting charged so much extra for a basic visit shocked me. But then, my eye Dr now splits my visits between annual eye testing and the eye exam, so I get charged 2 copays. I was starting to think maybe this is just the new normal and how businesses are working to make more money from basic visits.
