Reply to Question for local librarians by iSoReddit

At universities, 75% or more of the work in the libraries is performed by people w/o MLS degrees for peanut wages. They only hire MLS holders for a handful of high level positions. Those people are considered faculty.

Reply to Greenfield vs South Side Slope, where to buy a house? by Nice_Charge8971

Greenfield is a great area, and safe. It skews a lot older, so it depends on if you want peace and quiet, or access to nightlife.

Greenfield is also pretty big, but depending on where you are, it's easy to walk from there to Oakland or Squirrel Hill. Also handy access to the Waterfront for big box stores.

I lived there for seven years, so let me know if you want more details.

Reply to Monthly D&D Campaigns at the Cat Lounge by thunderbolt_alarm

This sounds so amazing and might be the one combination of interests that would tempt me out of my house! A little late for my old ass, though. I hope sometime you can organize a 6-8pm or a Sunday afternoon time slot.

Hope it goes well and the kittehs don't make off with all the dice.

Reply to What are some of your favorite things about living in Pittsburgh? by Sayakakunze

Pros: Wonderful parks. Walkable neighborhoods. Good restaurant options. Some nice old homes with character.
Cons: Air pollution. Travel between neighborhoods can be a PITA. Crap public transit. Pathological sports mania. Horrible humid summers. Mud-soaked winters when everything is gray and brown and looks like a World War I battlefield. Many ugly, run down neighborhoods covered in litter. Provincialism. Scary infrastructure.
