Are you talking about the Dolly Parton program? If so, here you go:

"We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to serve our community over the last five years and share the gift of reading with so many young Pittsburghers. Since launching this program, over 14,000 books were sent to children and their families in our region. 

  We are sharing this letter with the news that we have spent the entirety of our grant funds supporting the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) program for all City of Pittsburgh residents, and you will be receiving your last book in April 2023. There is nothing you need to do to cancel your membership – that will be done automatically on your behalf. Despite our best efforts, we were not able to find another program host; however, you are welcome to continue checking the Dolly Parton Imagination Library website to see if there are any other new programs serving your zip code. We are also working closely with the DPIL team to find other ways to continue supporting this program because we know how valuable it is for our families of Pittsburgh.  

  Thank you for your commitment to helping our young people gain the skills and critical reading habits that will help them succeed throughout their lives.  "

I constantly tell my FBI guy whatsup

I think it’s the metropolitan area.

I get Pgh's inexpensive by national standards, but having lived near Lansing MI for a few years, these numbers are kinda hard to believe. It's a bit more believable considering that these are entire metro areas (not cities proper -- look at the populations) and there are tons of houses further outside of Pgh proper that are really cheap, which has to be affecting this. That said, housing around Lansing still seemed way cheaper. I knew a good number of grad students there who didn't earn much buying entire houses and my rent was always a good amount lower than in Pgh (though I'm aware differences in rent ≠ differences in home values).

What was the cutoff for including metros on this list, 100k population? If so, I'm also surprised places like Cumberland MD or Decatur IL aren't on here.

This country isn't going to make it a whole lot longer.

Last game I went to the usher refused to do anything about someone taking my seat.

That has to be all of Allegheny county

Oh don’t even get me started. CAD techs, bridge inspectors. Mangers. Everyone for this engineering company was earning like 150/hour

I think more conspiracy-minded right-wingers than we would like to believe are experiencing active psychosis of some variety, be it dementia or otherwise. If you read this post closely, a lot of the sentences are very disjointed and points come out of nowhere in a way that acts like they were already introduced and are just facts and that's true for a lot of them.

Le Mont is terrible. I'm amazed they stay open.

I've heard it accurately described as what people think a fancy restaurant is, but it actually isn't.

This is true. I was at this exact Texas Roadhouse. I said “wow how I wish I was at red lobster” wouldn’t you know, manager came and hand delivered a lobster and cheese biscuits. 10/10 great service

That's sweet!

They have a separate area to enter if you have a bag that is bigger than the allowed dimensions. They just search the bag. But make sure you go to the bag entry so you don’t get stuck in the wrong line. I saw someone at the Pens game with a clear plastic diaper bag too.

Maybe yinz is just loud.

Depends on the person I guess.

The Pittsburgh library system is great! However it is not the same. The excitement of a preschooler getting their own mail and it being a book is really magical. As a parent borrowing a book from the library requires the time to take kids there to select it and the mental load of remembering and having the time to return it. This program was different and a loss for Pittsburgh kids.

None of that is true.

If an owner died, maybe they didn’t have family or family who wanted to run it. If they were bought out, it wouldn’t necessarily have been by a restaurant. If the OWNER didn’t renew the lease, doesn’t matter if the restaurant was doing well. And if the health department closed it WE WOULDNT KNOW AND THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING.

There’s so many reasons it could have closed. If you don’t know why, it makes no sense for you to pretend you do.

It almost sounds like you want to use your pill as an excuse to use your regular purse.

Regardless, I wouldn’t risk it. Having gone to shows and games there, the security doesn’t really want to hear your reasoning, they just want to get everyone in the door. And if it’s a “no phone” event they’re even less likely. Especially if it’s a rainy cold night and people are already pissy about waiting to get in.

The last game we went to there was a steady stream of women turned away for “close to” sized clutch purses. Nothing against the security folks, I just wouldn’t want to be faced with putting my purse in the trash or missing a show.

Everyone who is working deserves a living wage, even if they're wrong, and even if they're crazy. There is no such thing as unskilled labor.

It sort of depends on what you want to get out of your college experience. Since you’re commuting it’s pretty easy to just be in and out for classes and never be wrapped up in “school spirit” and campus life. Speaking from personal experience committing there. Academically it’s a good school.
