I avoid anywhere with Trump signs or signs of politicians who have supported him. I now live in Peters Township and businesses in Washington County aren’t afraid to show their political leanings. Neither are ones in Fayette County. It’s easy to eliminate things. I’ve also seen idiots (like that Crack’d Egg place in Brentwood or Al’s Cafe in Bethel Park) post on social media about how they bucked COVID restrictions and put everyone at risk, so that helped my family never give them money.

Hahaha! Good. I just remember Wendy Bell being there all the time and I couldn’t understand the hype. Al’s Cafe is unfortunately still open and always full.

Live right by there. For the life of me, cannot understand how they are still in business. Place is falling apart and the food is just blah.

We live pretty close to Al's and it's on our permanent no-go list. We went in there one night and they were hosting a fundraiser for an outlaw biker gang. One of the women walking around had a denim jacket on with a patch on the back that said "Property of [Biker's Name]." But sure, blue lives matter and all of that, right?

I have a problem with throwing blind support behind cops, but clearly showing you don't respect the law. To me, that says you just want protection to do whatever the fuck it is you're gonna do. Trolley Stop has the better hoagie anyway.

I thought Jim & Lou Lou’s got sold to different people? Isn’t it Mom & Pop’s Country Kitchen now or something like that?

Oh yikes… I moved to Bethel not too long ago and I’ve been looking for some good local diners. I’ll make sure to avoid them.

When my partner and I moved to baldwin, I asked for restaurant recommendations in the south hills on here and got a lot of good ones. We've been working through them.

here's the thread

We drive past it all the time and I can never believe how busy they are. It’s crazy to me. I remember him holding a rally protesting the COVID shutdowns and still serving food and alcohol and I couldn’t believe they didn’t lose their liquor license and get shut down. COVID brought out all the idiots.

Tangentially related, US politics aren't actually divided into two neat sides. We say the American Left and the American Right, but there are a lot of differences of opinion within that.

Even within subdivisions it's split. The Christian Right makes up a portion of the American Right, but even within them they don't all agree. Some are staunchly against gay marriage, others allow them in their churches. Presbyterians and Catholics are often very different on their political and religious views, but they are both generally of the Christian Right.

Point is, not every person on the right believes "blue lives matter" because the American Right isn't just one opinion shared.

I went to the Crack'd Egg last spring on a Saturday not realizing it was a political clown show. They were hosting an event for Rick Saccone while we were there.

I always got a laugh out of Saccone’s faux “Built Ford Tough” style ad campaigns even though he looked like a doughy boomer who got all clothes at Sears and probably collects Hot Wheels as the height of his excitement.

I’ve never eaten there (which I’m sure is rare for a south hills raised person), but now I definitely know not to!
