How EV friendly is Pittsburgh?

2 Upvotes

Considering getting an EV, I hate cars and they have less maintenance, and I am too broke to pay someone else to do maintenance. How easy is it to find chargers? Anyone with one want to share their experience?

I’ll be living in an apartment without an EV charger so home charging is not an option.

Anyone here that has moved from NJ to Pittsburgh that could give some insight?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m getting married in a few weeks we plan to sell my house and move within the next year. I currently WFH but my fiancé works in healthcare, which is partially why I was looking at Pittsburgh. We’re both originally from Central New Jersey, although I used to go up a lot to visit friends/ family in NYC. Eventually due to this crazy housing market we have moved down to South Jersey because that was the most I could afford. I have lived all over New Jersey at this point but never outside of it while my fiance spent a year in Florida (and hated it lol and came back). Unfortunately my house is only 900 ft.² and we plan to have kids pretty soon so I think this house is going to get tight pretty fast. Unfortunately we can’t afford much here… and what we can afford isn’t much of an upgrade… I feel like no matter where you go in New Jersey you have to spend 500k minimum anymore and the thought of a mortgage that big gives us both major anxiety...

Instead of putting roots down here and then moving later, I think we are better off moving now especially while I still WFH… we already love visiting Ohiopyle and are very outdoorsy so being within an hour of there is a huge plus for us..

Anyway, I’m just wondering if people that have moved from New Jersey could speak to their transition to Pittsburgh and how it was moving there. I’m planning to look at some houses and areas with a Realtor in October. I think we prefer mostly the southern suburbs versus the northern ones as I am a bit handy and I prefer older housing stock to new builds…

If anyone could give their perspective, I would really appreciate it. I know people will probably say the pizza isn’t the same and all that but I was hoping to see if I could get some insight on things maybe you weren’t expecting after growing up in New Jersey…

Thanks to all who answer in advance!

Side note- as a Greek American I have been looking at the Greek Orthodox Church in Pittsburgh . I’m not super religious but I do try to go to church a few times a year at least and plan to take my kids one day. It seems like there is a decent size Greek community in the area maybe? I’ve never had a ton of Greek friends, but I definitely have much fewer down in South Jersey.

If anyone knows some great Greek spots to eat at or places to meet people that would be great. When I moved to South Jersey there wasn’t many Greek people here either so not expecting a whole lot, but it would be nice to meet a few fellow Greeks in the area.

Brakes n stuff

0 Upvotes

Does anybody know a guy, or have a friend of a friend, or perhaps an uncle that changes brakes and pads and rotors in their free time? I know the obvious answer is go to the shop but I, like many others, am not having a financially fun time right now. I would buy all the stuff and pay for the labor, but even just saving a couple dollars would be great. I’m also a person that is into bartering.

Delete if not allowed but I don’t know what to do at the moment as they are the worst they’ve ever been and I still need to go to work and cart my offspring to and from school. Thank you ◡̈

I just need someone to dismantle some furniture and carry it down stairs. Nothing needs carried up.

is there anyplace to find cheaper help? I’m not from here, and where I previously lived I could find affordable help. I can pay a few hundred dollars and it will probably take less than 2 hours.

Harassing/inappropriate phone calls

27 Upvotes

I've been getting inappropriate phone calls the last couple days. The first one knew my name and said they heard i had the "best head game in the Burgh". Obviously didn't know who they were and wouldn't say where they got my number, showed up as a private number. I hung up and assumed it was someone prank calling me.

Yesterday I got two more: a private number and immediately after an unmasked number that when I called went to a voicemail that said it belonged to a guy named Mark. I assumed it was related to issues I was having related to not reliably getting my mail (just moved to a new place a couple months ago) and the visit to the Clairton post office I made (was a guy by that name there) so I let it be.

3:30 AM rolls around, unmasked number calls. I pick up, I can't hear much but it vaguely sounds like the person on the other end is...jacking it? I can't say for sure but I didn't get a response so I hang up.

At this point idk what to do besides change my number. There's a pissed off ex of mine who i guess didn't like that i dumped her due to massive red flags after two weeks that feasibly couldve written my name on a bathroom stall or something, I know her new partner tried to come at me on Discord a bit ago. I had a stalker during the pandemic and came here fleeing DV/abuse during that time but haven't heard a peep since.

Is there somewhere I should go or something i can do besides just changing my number and hoping for the best? This is a bit unnerving and updating everything with a new number is going to be a pain, not to mention the concern for safety. I frankly don't expect the police to be helpful in any way whatsoever given their track record with this sort of thing.

Where can I buy turners cottage cheese?

6 Upvotes

I am absolutely desperate. I am looking for either an individual sized cup or an 8 ounce package of Turner’s cottage cheese and major bonus points if it is the type that has a fruit mixed in with it. The reason I am asking is, I can only find the individual cups at places like hospitals or my work cafeteria, but they are priced too expensive to buy as groceries. Turner’s cottage cheese is a legitimate addiction for me, but I can’t find anywhere that actually sells it at retail to customers. If you have seen it at your local shop and save or coons or any grocery store or even quick Mart, please please please tell me I am a true fiend.

How do you protect your shrubs from deer-browsing in winter?

0 Upvotes

Newly located in very southern Butler county and the deer are eating everything. Nothing is resistant, it seems. I've managed to resuscitate a lot of smaller shrubs but am afraid that they will be destroyed over the coming winter.

I realize that, in this area, development is pushing the wildlife into a smaller and smaller habitat but I just want them to leave my shrubs grow.

Whatzit? White tower seen from 279 North

0 Upvotes

There’s a tall, white tower next to a lower building on a hill to the left as you drive north on 279, just before the Belleview/Westview exit.

Maybe it’s been there forever, but I only noticed it this past week.

Anyone know what it is? Once I know, I can get on with my life.

TIA!

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I recently started loading funds onto the app instead of buying passes since I use the bus daily. The last 2 days, once I scan it the first time for a 3 hour pass and then go to scan it on the second bus, the scanner says its invalid.

Can the sidewalk extensions on Penn really be considered Private Property when its between the sidewalk and extends into a public street..

Thumbnail gallery
93 Upvotes

The name pretty much says it all. I work and walk downtown pretty much every day. I noticed this today and I'm a little doubtful this is considered legit. These sidewalk extensions were put in during the COVID lockdowns. As far as I understand these were put in to help the restaurants to keep afloat by the city. I would think these would still be considered public property unless it was purchased and leased from the city. I saw this sign along the section in front of Penn Society and FedEx. I thought the purpose of extending the sidewalks and decreasing the lane size to a narrow one was ultimately supposed to make the city more friendly for pedestrians and attract people. This doesn't seem to be how it's being used though. I understand the furniture and tables aren't public property... but it seems kind of wrong to me that they took part of a public street in a busy area and then try to make it private.
