If you want something new, realistically your options are The Attic or Preserving. There are other record stores in the area (Jerry’s, Eides, Vinyl Remains) but most of them only sell collections they’ve bought recently or older stock that’s sat over the years. The Exchange is decent for record store day/popular new albums if you happen to live near one, I’d say worth frequenting.

I also recommend Music To My Ear but with a disclaimer because of one thing I strongly dislike about them. Their records for the most part aren’t alphabetized or by genre. For instance, a large section of the store is labeled “New Audiophile” and is not alphabetized. If you want to find Mac Miller, there is no tags or bins for M. You just need to look. They have some high quality speakers and equipment though.

Doridos (South Park) , My Thai (Dormont), and I was going to say Zorros (Mt Lebo) but just found out they are closing. My third vote will now go to the Smiling Moose (South Side). It may not be a hidden gem, but I feel like a lot of people don’t know that their food kicks ass.

My hometown hasn’t had electricity since 2am. It’s now 4pm. I don’t know how they are managing. Thank god my fam has a wood burner. About 30 minutes from Breezewood.

Obviously it’s because if you are willing to travel, you must want to actually work, unlike floor nurses.

I commented this also. We went into it as an experiment, expecting to significantly increase our grocery bill. It's went down by about $40-50 per week. It's great. Albeit, we don't buy a ton of freezer stuff (like burritos or pizzas or single-serve dinners) or meat so I can't provide any input there.

Recently switched from Market District to Whole Foods. It's been pretty good so far. After 4 weeks of Whole Foods, every grocery bill has been cheaper than what we were normally spending at Market District. Although, we don't buy meat or a lot of frozen stuff, which I've noticed is really expensive at Whole Foods.
