There was, downtown, but it started with a K.

Just a word to the wise, the Giant Eagle nearest the location you told us might actually be the worst / most sketchy one in town. You might find yourself shopping at a nicer / better stocked place and busing it back.

Yeah, I hear most people call it Deutschtown, or sometimes even just "East Ohio Street." There's a big music festival there every summer, and some cute shops along E Ohio. Threadbare Cider is nearby. It's a good location to be near things. Sometimes crime happens nearby, but it's rarely random attacks on people minding their business. It can get sketch up there at night, though, so y'know. Like any city, just be alert if you're walking back home late.

If you mean East Allegheny on the north shore by the stadiums, it's OK in that you can either get downtown by taking the train for free (for now) or walk across a bridge, and go from there to anywhere you like.

You just have to wait longer between buses. I go up to Mt. Washington pretty frequently, and to get back to the East End, I have to catch a bus that comes once every hour, and transfer in Downtown to a bus that comes every 45 minutes.
If I were going from Downtown to Oakland or vice-versa, I could catch a bus in 5-10 mins. almost every time.

In and out of Downtown and Oakland, public transit is very effective.
In most other neighborhoods, it's spottier and more frustrating, but usable.
It's nearly unusable outside the city proper, except for taking the train to the South Hills.

It's not as cheap as it used to be, but I'd say nearly all of the people I know who moved here did so because it was cheaper / easier to pay for things than where they lived before.

Second this, especially if you just need enough for one recipe, so you just scoop like a dollar's worth. Plus you can smell the jar when you open it, so you can confirm they're strong enough, haha.

We tried that 100 years ago. It was awful. People just need to understand what it does / can do to you so they can be responsible.

So search engines will crawl the article more. That's it. The more details you put in that can get picked up by search engines, the more clicks you can get, the more money you make.

Yelp is so scammy these days. Google Reviews get a lot more activity.

Szechuan Spice is right there, too, and so flavorful (even if it still looks like the 1970s inside). That Giant Eagle gets mad foot traffic; people need to be hitting up the restaurants around it.

At Nak Won's price point, that is totally fair. We went despite the reviews because we wanted that specific cuisine, and it's been awesome.
Oh, sometimes the food comes out at different times, too, rather than everyone at the table being served together. I can see some people thinking that's "bad service," but they just serve it when it's ready; the kitchen isn't huge.

The owner likes to hover at your table and comment sometimes. I thought it was charming. Some people clearly got pissy about it.

Yeah, sorry, Union Grill JUST announced remodeling.
While I have you on the horn:
- Aviary for entertainment
- Sienna Mercato for meatballs and beers
Beyond that, I'm like tremendously boring, I'm afraid. But I think the kids would like both spots.

People with more money than either brains or emotions might have actually done this. Or not even that serious, just "You use up ALL the water! I'm buying a second one and it's YOUR FAULT!"

*Two electric water heaters* is itself an anomaly that 99% of other houses aren't going to have. I agree this is the spot to start troubleshooting.
