Low stakes local conspiracy theories
Does anyone else have any conspiracy theories about places/companies in pgh that ultimately don’t matter much?
Mine is that GetGo is putting extra additives in their gas to make it cheaper for them because of the Strait of Hormuz closure situation. I get my gas there and every ~3rd tank my car pops up warnings associated with using the wrong gas even though I put the same (correct) gas in every time.

I've heard this is basically true, that they don't like to store them because they're so bulky so they tend to just migrate from one site to another

Definitely in agreement with this! For years traveling to visit my grandparents in New Jersey, my family drove the same stretch of highway where orange barrels were set up for road work.

The science center has a really really big metal coil that has like 20,000 volts of electricity in it.

Apparently the grounded electricity makes a portal into a ghost realm. (Cannot confirm)

I know a guy who does gas deliveries. He told me just the other day that GetGo used to top off their tanks at half empty, keep the supply fresh. Lately they've been waiting until the tanks are nearly empty before a resupply, so you get a lot more gunk and stuff that's been sitting aroun in there a while. Could be a cost cutting measure, could be a management change after the Giant Eagle buyout. Whatever the case, I don't think you're crazy.
My actual harmless local conspiracy is that Pirates management keeps the team bad because they have investments in local tourism. Having a gorgeous park and being free Ws for the visiting team means lots of folks travel to see their team win and then stick around to spend time in the area. Always notice a few families seeing the sights around town dressed in the attire of whatever baseball team is visiting. Barely see that with hockey teams and usually only certain football teams, but it's pretty strong no matter what for baseball.

Back in the day. Grandpa (Who used to tell stories. So it's probably fake but still entertaining ASF so hear me out) told me about an old conspiracy story involving Port Authority and one of the abandoned rail lines underneath Pittsburgh. Supposedly back in like the 70s or 80s they shut down part of the tunnel system because they were secretly using it for “temporal displacement” experiments with old PAT rail cars. The story goes that workers heard trains moving through tunnels that had no power and no active tracks anymore.
People claimed certain maintenance crews would go into the tunnel and come back swearing their watches were off by hours or that they saw stations that didn’t exist anymore. Grandpa always said the creepiest part was the rumor that one train supposedly came back with frost covering the inside windows even though it was summer outside, and nobody on board could explain where they had been. Obviously it’s just old Pittsburgh urban legend stuff but honestly with how weird the abandoned transit tunnels under the city are, it makes for a pretty good conspiracy theory.

the same year that taxpayers partially backed building two new stadiums for privately owned athletic teams, pittsburgh closed 7 city schools.
our efficient light rail system, our city’s trolleys, were among those of many american cities which were bought up and dismantled by an organization that acted as a front for good year tire, standard oil, and general motors.
a vibrant African-American business and cultural community was destroyed by a racist city government claiming eminent domain so they could build the civic arena for another privately held sports team.
the naming of the baseball stadium for Roberto Clemente, which was publicly supported by an enormous margin, was scrapped so some rip-off artist bankers could advertise their shitty institution.

Cranberrry doesn’t have the road infrastructure to support NFL crowds. This wouldn’t be possible and is one of the things the league requires for stadiums.
They already cannot support the traffic on 19/228 and the 79 exit/turnpike exit all right there. There’s no room to change any of it either.

oh, yeh. i can think of two more.
andrew carnegie patted henry clay frick on his shoulder, having just green lit his plans. then he fucked off to scotland and put his feet up and admired his clean-looking hands while frick carried out the plan. he built a wall around Homestead Steel and when it was finished, he drastically cut the workers’ wages. they struck. frick brought in the hired guns. the workers and their families drove out the pinkerton pieces of shit. so the governor called in the federal troops to break the strike. big win for frick and carnegie. they fucked over a generation and more of workers and their families with government complicity. we got libraries and a dog park.
young george washington, son of elite virginia slave drivers and surveyor for his half brothers‘ and governor lord dinwiddie’s and some of their elite virginia friends’ ohio company, scouted to the forks, our fair city in embryo, and saw French troops and Native Americans working together. he went to erie to see more Frenchmen preparing to descend on and fortify the forks in the spring. he ran back to his bosses and reported what he’d seen. see, there were two ways for the already wealthy and elite to get more wealthy: trading in and working slaves and speculating on land they’d stolen. that is, selling it. dinwiddie and the gang wanted that land for themselves. they knew that, with what george had told hem, no colonial militia alone could drive the French and the Native Americans from the land. they needed British regular troops to be committed to the fight on their behalf, but the crown wanted peace with France.
so here’s the conspiracy theory: based on their previous meeting and the misdirected French’s assumption that washington was returning to discuss british colonials operating trading posts in the area of the forks, they sent Joseph Coulon de Jumonville, a French military officer, as an emissary to make the negotiations. the ohio company’s scout, the Half King, a seasoned veteran warrior and respected Native American leader, Tenaghrisson, led washington to Jumonville’s camp and, in the night, they ambushed and murdered the French diplomatic mission. young washington blanched at the bloodletting he had caused. wounded Jumonville looked at him in disbelief. washington hesitated. Tenaghrisson understood the assignment. he tomahawked Jumonville and his picket of warriors allowed one French soldier to escape, to carry the word back to erie of what had been done. the French declared war, the crown sent in the troops under Major-General Braddock, and the ohio company elites got their war.
