Reply to Unique Pittsburgh Pizza by thereandfatagain

In the late 1900s there was a pizza joint called the Unique Pizza Factory on Grant Ave in Millvale. I don’t know if it was truly unique or not but god damn if I didn’t love their mashed potato pizza on visitation weekends with my dad.

Reply to D oes anyone know of a weather forecasting website that will give me a "travel forecast" for a car trip? I absolutely have to drive a couple of hours northeast at some point today (mostly I79 and 80) and there's all sorts of weather conditions predicted. Thanks! by happyjazzycook

I highly recommend Weather On The Way for iOS (if you have it.) There are pro versions you can upgrade to but you get like 5 trips free initially. Just used it to drive to Illinois from Pittsburgh.

Reply to Article about the terminal building development. Thoughts? by _koopatroopa_

The Strip District has one of the faster growing residential communities in the city, and the Terminal is their version of Pittsburgh Mills. All the sizzle, none of the substance. This place will be empty storefronts within years. It’s as if no one learned anything from Allegheny Center Mall, and the irreversible damage it caused to the North Side.

The most insufferable part of the article was “The Parking Problem” write up. Quit catering to the suburban population (yes, I know I’m one) and tailor this to the people within walking distance. Any redevelopment plan for the Strip District that doesn’t include turning Penn Ave in to a pedestrian shopping district is a big fat L.

Reply to Reliable way to get to the airport at 4am? by LEPrecon24

I don’t have any recommendations but I would say steer clear of Z-Trip. Booked one for an early morning flight to Tampa a few years ago and they never showed. I called several times, & “customer service” kept saying the driver was on his way - but it ended up that he never left. We drove like madmen to the airport and parked it in long-term. The driver finally called me when I was at my gate very apologetic and offered to pay for my parking but I said to not worry about it, I was just happy to be at the airport on time. He said he was sleeping when the call was dispatched to him & never left.
