I haven't heard of any shootings there, but there was at least one fatal stabbing outside the place in 2018. I work on the north shore and these things get around about that place.

I do love Gooskis even if I can’t go there since I quit smoking. I hope it never changes and stays open forever though.

Any time we are walking past this place my wife shouts to any woman entering or outside that she can make eye contact with “cover your drinks! Don’t let your drink out of sight in there for one second!”

I am gradually replacing most of my grass with native pollinators, year by year. It will improve over time.

But I had to mow yesterday because I have a tiny dog with an acorn brain who won’t go into the yard to poop if the grass touches his belly.

He is descended from wolves and we ruined his bloodline.

Most grass isn’t actually native to the region and takes up the space native plants used to inhabit

Edit: downvote me all you like but the above statement is simply a matter of fact

personally, I see a lot of these places like Max & Erma's, Kings, Chili's and the like and think that I can microwave food at home myself and get the same quality without spending that much money

yesterday morning on the flat part of Rialto, at the top, I saw the 31st St Bridge backed up and said "I think I'll go through Troy Hill instead of taking 28 today" and it's nice to see I made the right call

Before I drank/could get into bars we’d drink coffee and chainsmoke at ENP until 3 am

leftist gun owner here. have not killed millions of people.

Venues/bars that have shows to look into that would have locals (as well as touring acts) and I’m having punk/metal in mind: Mr. Roboto Project, Gooskis, Rock Room, Whisper Nest, Mr. Smalls Funhouse, Club Cafe, Black Forge, I am forgetting a bunch here.

Bigger venues for national touring acts: Stage AE, Mr. Smalls Theater (same location different room/vibe), Thunderbird, Roxian Theater, Spirit

My wife and I went to keystone for their class and purchased from them. We are also leftists. Going in I was on guard to keep my politics to myself and braced to hear things I disagreed with but keep my head down so I could just get what I needed out of the place and gtfo. They didn’t get political except when someone in the class asked about gun laws in surrounding states if he was traveling with his gun and the guy running the class started in on New York being “communist city USA” but he didn’t elaborate a ton on “the commies” at least.

Went there right when they opened today. So so so good.

I disagree with the desensitization angle purely based on the national reaction to the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests across the country and even internationally. I'd go so far as to suggest that people were/are very sensitive about it when they see these videos of violence against innocent people.

$194 which is ridiculous because our (brand new, just installed) boiler was broken all but 10 days of the month.

Well, I can’t. My boiler died yesterday and while they got it going three of our radiators aren’t producing heat and may have an ice blockage so I’ve got to keep space heaters trained on at least two of them until hot water begins to circulate in them again

Some might find the yinzer quotient to be an added bonus. In the summers when I go to kennywood I like to count juggalos in novelty hats

No hate I fucking love the gobblerito

With the exception of arbys I am not above eating at any of the above places. Just usually with my parents or my wife’s family 😂

Google prompts people to review places they’ve needed directions to. Clever.

> North hills has always been pretty barren as far as diversity of food

What are you talking about? They have an OLIVE GARDEN! You can take a TOUR OF ITALY. And a MAD MEX where right now they have a GOBBLERITO. that’s a BURRITO with thanksgiving dinner INSIDE OF IT. And RED LOBSTER which is the APPLEBEES OF THE SEA. And that’s not to even mention ARBY’S ON McKNIGHT ROAD

(I am being extremely sarcastic)

I would say true.

Share some stories! That’s half the reason I posted this thread

Oh go lick some boots kid
