PBSC Urban Solutions provides the Bikes for Pittsburgh. The same company provided the bikes for Denver. I think they lost the contract for Denver, so it would make sense to move the bikes to another city.
Why don’t they rebrand them? Who knows.

It seems the same company that provides the bikes and technology in Pittsburgh did the same in Denver. Apparently Denver changed providers, so I guess the company moved the bikes to Pittsburgh. You’d think they would re-brand them before putting them in circulation.

The 3 stage was about $700 more, including the thermostat. We figured it’s worth it given we’ll have it for 15 years. So far we’re happy it. The old one we we’re definitely getting that hot:cold back and forth.

Same ownership, but they combined some editorial functions with their other paper, the Toledo Blade, and appointed a right wing executive editor.

No sure of the BTUs, not seeing it in the paper work. But it’s 2500 square foot house. The way I understand 2 stage is depending on the temperature it will run at normal or reduced temperature/fan speed. It seems to keep the temperature more consistent.

We paid just over 7,000 for a higher end 2 stage Lennox, and that included new vents to the outside and some electrical wiring that need to be changed.

Tesla is nowhere close to the top in either of those categories
I get that you are saying “Tesla believes “ it will happen. It’s either a very old source, or just Elon being Elon.
EV’s are only about 1% of the total market. Tesla does lead that small segment.

But in a lot of business districts, many of the stores follow a similar open schedule. So the question is not out of line.

55 is probably good if that can keep the whole apartment at that temp. If you have pipes running along an exterior wall, you may need to go higher. I don’t think draining your pipes is necessary, and probably shouldn’t be done in an apartment building, as the other units likely share that water service.

The South Hills did lose a division a few years ago, but it’s only the facility itself that closed. Workers and equipment were sent to nearby facilities, and they work out of there, doing essentially the same routes as previously. Of course, in some cases they have further to travel to get to their routes. And the Southern areas have been difficult anyhow due to topography.

Agreed on this, but part of the problem is people rely on things like the online listings that show "estimated taxes" based on current assessment. Realtors should be upfront about the likelihood of the School District appealing, and tell the client to be prepared to pay the tax on what you paid for the property.

The reason the county is not reassessing is 100% politics. A reassessment would result in a significant number of people (voters) having their taxes increased. Even if they coupled it with a decrease in millage so there wouldn't be an overall l revenue windfall to the County/School, there would be winners and losers.

Lots of streets in Pittsburgh have them as well. I was referring to the cross streets in E Lib, all of which are heavily used, so a sensor wouldn't do much good, as there would almost always be cross traffic waiting.
Another commenter said that the cross streets further out Penn have the sensors.

The blizzard of 93 I was the only manager on site. I told my employees they could leave as soon as they could get home. Busses had already stopped, so some employees offered rides to others. Had already planned to shut down when I didn’t have enough staff to operate.
A bit later got a call from corporate to shut down,but the manager in charge had to stay. That was me. I had no idea how long this would last, so I went to the grocery store nearby for some food. Turned out I was able to go home in about a day. Drove home, took about an hour to go 10 miles. Got to within a few blocks of my condo, gave up driving, walked the rest of the way. Got stopped twice by people seeing my Giant Eagle bags asking what was open.

It's never been below zero continually for 7 straight days. At most, 2-3 days, and rarely. I'd bet we've never had 7 consecutive days where the low was below zero, let alone the high.
5 of the past ten years we never fell below zero at all.

If by that you mean highway speeds and few traffic lights, no. It has narrow lanes, frequent intersections, pedestrians crossing, parked cars, and all the other things that come with an urban area, so it should be treated as such.
tesla3by3 t1_iyal8gi wrote
It’s a lot easier to coordinate lights either by timing or based on demand when you have a major artery with the cross streets being much lower volume. You can set the main road for a very long green, or only turn the cross streets green when it detects a vehicle. That wouldn’t do much in E Lib with major cross streets like Negley, Euclid, Highland, and Center. Plus pedestrians.

National City was acquired by PNC. Antitrust regulators required them to spin off about 50 branches, mostly in Pittsburgh area, where both banks had a lot of branches. First Niagara ended up acquiring about 50 branches, but PNC kept the majority outside of Pittsburgh.

That's the correct answer. Respond by saying "Hi, I'm just here to deposit my paycheck, thanks!" or "Who do I see about a notice of mortgage escrow shortage?"

A lot of stores- grocery and other- began putting security guards in place during peak COVID to help enforce masking, social distancing, and capacity rules. While a lot of the rules have been relaxed, the tensions that could cause issues still exist, so many places have elected to keep security in place.

Yeah you’re right. They stole it from Denver and ditched it on the North Side of Pittsburgh. I mean, makes sense since it’s mostly downhill.
