We accept Fallingwater as our own, though a bit distant physically.

Succop Nature Park just off Route 8 north of Pittsburgh. http://www.aswp.org/pages/succop
Friend got married there (outdoors) and had the reception there in a beautiful old mansion. Can't speak to pricing.

Weird to see this. Two days ago I was sideswiped by a truck on ARB and it was the first time I was ever in an accident while moving. Heading inbound approaching the Washington Blvd intersection, and as it widened into three lanes at the green signal the truck behind me tried to go around me to speed through the intersection. Except there wasn't enough room and to avoid rear-ending the car in the left turn lane, he had to come back to the right and bang the side of my car, then speed off down ARB towards the zoo.
The damage sucks but what really shocked me is the stupidity of the maneuver. Like, in another hundred feet you will have two lanes to use to get around me if it's that important. You couldn't wait that three more seconds?

Please don't be a joint owner of a house when you're not married to the other owner. Consider having one person buy it and the other pay rent to contribute to the mortgage.
My good friend who works for a bank has told me a lot of sad stories that happened when the couple split up. Ruined credit scores, foreclosures.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but since this is personal finance, just suggesting an alternative method that has a lot less risk.

Reply to Big Thanks to the local businesses putting election campaign signs on their windows by LockedOutOfElfland
I don't care what business owners think. I'm not a "you're dead to me if you support X" or a "I only deal with people who think like me" person. If a business provides something I want at a fair price, that's good enough for me. I don't need them to be ideologically compatible. Should we assume all the employees think the same way so we can try to hurt them too?
Tired of looking for new reasons to hate.

Heck, they can't get enough people to fully staff the polls for ONE day.
Wouldn't mail-in voting always be more convenient than having to go to a polling place, even if they were open for a week?

I say that because a friend who I know for a fact got a "shitty job" in the county office building because of political connections, told me he considered getting one of his sons a PPA job but the son ended up landing a job at a store instead.

Reply to Who has the best fish fry Fridays in Pittsburgh? North Hills area would be great. Maybe it’s not a thing around here? by bwetherby1818
E-Town in Etna, Kretzler's and North Park Lounge. These are year-round.
If you're specifically talking about Lenten fish frys, that's a whole different world.

These people got those jobs through political connections. Skill wasn't a factor.

Reply to If you were planning to vote for Fetterman prior to last night’s debate, are you still planning to vote for him after watching his debate performance? by Minute-Ad9621
It's difficult for me to recall an election of this magnitude (US Senate) that featured two outright unacceptable candidates. For me it's going to be a "hold your nose and choose one".
I don't expect to agree with everything a candidate says, but in this case we have a TV celebrity who for some reason wants to be in politics, and a politician who appears to be genuinely a good guy, but he's clearly in over his head. And whoever wins will be coached (*cough* controlled *cough*) by party leaders who will supply the staffers and therefore have ears on everything that's happening. Neither one has a record in national office so we have no insight into what they might do once in office.
Our state deserves better than this.

My parents are the same way - you better hand those boxes back to them after you open the presents and the stick-on bow, too! I've seen Hornes, Kaufmann's, Gimbels, even a Service Merchandise box.

Lazarus' owners purchased Horne's and put the Lazarus name on them.

Reply to comment by babyyodaisamazing98 in DLC customers: Did you get a notice from Nextera energy recently? Read it! by [deleted]
Can people request bills to be sent via email? And do the rate change notices come that way too? I wonder if that's a factor in people not noticing.
On a side note, I get electric through , my supplier is called Energy Harbor and the rate is 11.0 cents per kWh.
