aesthetic right across the street from the childrens hospital

It looks like they went through the city to get the no parking signs and are potentially removing junk from a house they just bought. I did the same thing when I moved into my home and needed a place that the Uhaul could park while we unloaded. Not everyone has a garage or driveway, and it's impossible to guarantee a spot outside your home if it's on the street otherwise.

They're great and do a solid clean of my home every 3 weeks. Every year they do a deep clean and my house is sparkling after. Our house is pretty big (6 bedrooms) and regular cleans run around $220 with the deep cleaning being almost double that.

Thai Cuisine has a bunch of gluten free (and dairy free) options. I also recommend Pastoli's pizza

They're a small business, but they always do a great job for our house!

Highly recommend CCP. Our daughter has been seeing Dr. Lidia Turzai since she was a newborn. When we were at the Childrens Hospital NICU, all the nurses working on the floor said they have their kids go to CCP so that's what we picked, too.

I thought the lot would be bigger for the MAC since it includes the school, the rectory, and the parking lot, but St. Joseph sold the parking lot behind it years ago and is just the church itself.

The MAC has a school attached to it, and the boiler for the church is in the school so they can't just sell off the school. Instead they have to maintain a lot more space at the MAC than they would at St. Joseph's. I watched the priest's hour long presentation this week on it, and he said the cost of renovations to both buildings were comparable (but I suspect they thought they could get more money for the MAC due to it's size and location)

In their annual reports they've indicated they want more land surrounding the hospital. A lot of the vacant land that they own has projects in the works (new parking structure, etc)

The priest wanted to keep this church open when he closed "the Mac" (ICA), but the parishioners decided to appeal the closure to the Vatican (??), and now the parish has to keep the Mac from falling apart during a multi-year legal appeal process. The parishioners screwed themselves over by appealing the closure of the Mac - the property could have been sold to West Penn for enough to cover the costs of the St. Joseph renovations and repairs. It's a shame/loss for Bloomfield's Catholic community, but it could have been easily avoidable.
