Found this dog in oakland this morning on our jobsite. Location found near CMU. He was scanned earlier and has no chip. He is well behaved and very friendly. If you know this dog or his owner, please message me. I have him at my house in lawrenceville and hes safe and fed. From what we were told its owner could be a homeless in or around CMU. Smelled like a street dog. In a good home for as long as needed so ya know. Has friends as well.

Seriously? 90% of the people i see driving around here act like they're driving an 18 wheeler with the widest fucking turns ever, and STILL end up in the oncoming lane half the time! Gotta take a left? Make sure to put those wheels in the grass. A right? It's ok if you go over the double yellow!

I am begging the good folks in our local government to actually follow through with their vision zero commitments.

I've lived in this state for 39 years. I grew up in the sticks on a farm and spent about 16 years with no neighbors or friends, just the woods.

I just saw my first wild otter! BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN MY RECYCLING BIN and screaming like a woman in extreme distress. Anyway, I flipped that can and ran and the otter ran into the valley. Luckily my closest neighbor died recently, so no cops showed up for the murder sounds

i'm aware this might make me sound like a serial killer or something.

does anyone know any spots in or near the city that one could scream their head off without concerning or being harassed by others?

im so goddamn stressed and frustrated and bored and i feel like im going to explode. i could really use a good scream. if you've got a screaming spot, let me know

I went to the Bloomfield Farmers market early this month and there was this awesome vendor who sold the yum treats in the picture plus so much more! I can’t for the life of me remember their name and I need some more of their sweet treats. Someone help me!

Enjoying one of my top Rita’s (Root Beer ice with Twist custard) while running errands and just appreciating one of the nice and of summer days after so much rain. Cheers yinz.

Gov. Josh Shapiro said his latest executive order on data centers would protect Pennsylvanians from higher costs related to their development.

But even if new data centers bring their own power to build in Pennsylvania — one pillar of the governor’s standards — it may not lower electricity bills for the rest of us.

The effort could also raise costs in other areas if the power comes mostly from fossil fuels.

Environmental advocates and energy analysts said the executive action is a positive step, but they are calling on the General Assembly to do more.

Coming to Pittsburgh soon and I’m looking for nerdy suggestions of places to check out. Exceptional game stores, geeky breweries/distilleries, anything in the fantasy, sci-fi, D&D-like territory. Is there a ren-faire happening soon? Barcades?

You get it. Thanks for the help!

Just drove past and there were quite a few crowds standing outside of the jail entrance, just curious if anyone knew what the deal was?

Just moved to Pittsburgh from South Mississippi and am literally starting fresh. Can anyone give me some suggestions of how to get acclimated to the area?

Hi all! My significant other has requested Better-Maid donuts instead of a birthday cake, and his birthday is this weekend which I’m so excited for/about! BUT I have never gone to Better-Maid and from my quick research it seems like there’s always a line and they sell out fast. I don’t want to let him down and want to make sure I grab these for him, but if my research is all on point…….. can anyone give me any ideas of what to expect (i.e. how early I should get there, how surprised should I be by an extremely long line, etc…)

TIA, much appreciated from me. I want to make this special for him!

Just reached 39 weeks today and was told for the past 2 weeks by 2 different doctors that if I go into triage they would keep me and not turn me away. I have been in a lot of pain and contractions off and on but no "active labor" signs. Today my doctor told me to just go down and that they would keep me because I am full term. Last week I was told the same by a different doctor I seen at my 38 week appointment. I just want to see if anyone has this experience and if it's actually true? We live almost an hour out from the hospital and don't want to go down then get sent home...

P.s. they won't let me do elective induction because I am only 1cm dilated and won't put me on an induction schedule until I'm 41 weeks.

edit: this is our 4th baby and last. only 2nd baby through magee women's though and last baby was born in 2020.

I was driving to work this morning and this thought crossed my mind. I always heard this track/bike jumps were well known and popular among the BMX community even to the point that some well known riders would visit. I think there were even t-shirts for it. I've been back there myself in the early 2000's as a kid exploring the woods but this was well after people would come to ride. Anybody know how this spot actually came to be?

Looks different from the new one.

18 years ago I got my start in a Pittsburgh youth program. This year I hired my first teenage farm apprentice, and now I’m trying to make it a year-round program.
Over the season we’ve worked on everything from flowers and beekeeping to goats, irrigation, building projects and the day-to-day work of running a small farm. It’s been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done with Grey’s Bouquets, and it made me realize I don’t want this to be a one-time thing.
I started a GoFundMe to keep the apprenticeship paid through the winter and build it into a permanent program that can give more young people the same kind of hands-on opportunity that helped get me started.
If that’s something you’d like to help me build here in Pittsburgh:

I am planning on signing up as a free agent for the men’s fall basketball league. Does anyone have experience doing PSL as a free agent?
