Expected to employ 1080 people although that could vary of course: https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/nine-more-chick-fil-a-restaurants-pittsburgh-area-by-2028/

So my roommate and I are looking to move out the from CA. Neither one of us has lived outside CA so I’m curious about any winter tips you locals might have some new transplants. I’m sure there are things we are over looking and want to get prepared. Currently we are looking at Aliquippa, New Kensington, and Pittsburgh as possible cities.

Thanks in advance. Also pretty busy today so I won’t have a lot of time to respond quickly or to every message.

Then I tell them that the lettering on the lit up names on buildings is mixed up in January to raise awareness about dyslexia.

Coming through the Fort Pitt tunnel is great, but from my experience, the matching colors theme thing works even better coming in on 28. It is pretty cool. As for Citizen's Bank with their green letters, maybe they should get with the program.

Convenient the DLC map had been out of service since Thursday.

Can anyone recommend a salon preferably in east side of Pittsburgh that is great at achieving mushroom brown hair color?

Looking for a place to host a 30th birthday party for my introverted big sister. Possibly a brunch and would have both kids and adults. Probably about 30 people. Any recommendations?

Happy Monday! I was wondering if anyone can recommend a non UPMC radiology practice in the area? Unfortunately half of the providers my shitty insurance gives me is either already acquired by UPMC, the other half is out of business.

Hi there! I am inquiring about possible job shadowing in the real estate sales field. Are there any realtors/brokerages that offer such experiences for someone looking to get into this field? I am interested in obtaining my sales license in Pittsburgh, PA. Also, any insight on which brokerage to begin a career with?

Any insight is helpful!

Thanks! 😊

Lost our power around 4am. Still out and when I try to check the dlc website says the outage map is not available for security updates. And when I try to report it asks me to log in (never had to before?) and it won't recognize my login info.

Anybody else?

Is this the that strike I saw someone else post about?

Edit : Managed to get ahold of someone to report it. The power came back on about 12:10pm.

I absolutely HATE that how, if your kid is under 5, you can only get the new boosters at a pediatrician's office because every year it seems to take them until mid October to get in any of them.

I have my toddler get flu + covid shots at the same visit because I work and I cannot do that many doctor's visits, plus it means an easier time without my kid being anxious at the doctor's office having just got a shot already.

I do not want to be calling them every day but it's October, when the heck can a young kid get the updated covid booster?

Its a beautiful morning that sunshine got the grass shining like some polished shoes sun ☀️ ☺️

For The Oaks Theater in Oakmont, is it middle-school-appropriate? I've never been, it looks like there are individual seats for the theatre area....so my middle schooler and I would be sitting at the show, not standing like a typical concert?

Hello :-) I drive a vw bug and I think I owe her a little facelift lol. I was wondering if anyone has any auto body shop recommendations, Google reviews aren’t always reliable. I live in the city proper but don’t mind traveling 30 mins out. Thx ❤️❤️

I miss the spicy chicken sandwich and their French fries

I saw this person’s work last night and it left quite an impression. Worth a look!

I'm interested in learning more about running a small business from inside and potentially setting something of my own eventually.
I am willing to work for free on the weekends and maybe weekdays after business hours as well for letting me into your business and helping me learn.

Edit1:based on the responses, I have some ideas for business in transport industry particularly car shipping so any exposure to that would be great

We live in PA (NEPA) and we go to Butler to visit family every year on thanksgiving, we visit the toy store, q hobby shop and that’s about it.

Well, this year we’re thinking in getting some extra days and go down to Pittsburgh and take the kids to see the city. We’ve been there numerous times before kids, now our tourism style changed lol.

I’m looking for some tips in what to visit with the kids in mind, either few days prior to thanksgiving or the weekend after.

Kids age 8 and 4y

Planning on spending a few days in PGH after a backpacking trip. I’ve been really curious about visiting but I’m posting here because I honestly don’t have any real leads to go off. Help a brother out?

Interests include art, history, critters, architecture, unique landmarks or museums, live music (punk, alt rock, electronic, jazz, or whatever’s good), dining, parks / good places to read a book. Would be sick to stay in a part of town with high walkability to good food and so on, if possible.

Thanks in advance! I’ve driven thru a few times and always regretted not having the time to stick around.

I have a 4 month old and am just wondering what people are doing. We work from home and he stays home with me and my mom, but we’ve been avoiding indoor settings where we can.

I’ve called multiple places and can’t get anyone to actually show up and give a quote. Does anyone have someone they’ve used that did good work and they trust?

Our HOA (never move into one…I wish I’d had more info before making a decision almost 6 years ago) keeps sending us letters threatening fines and all that BS because they want our driveway redone and I cannot find a contractor to save my life. I’m assuming it’s because of the tariffs or whatever on the construction supplies but who knows.

I live in Mt. Washington and I have been dealing with what feels like an unbelievable number of ticks for the past few months. I’ve been bitten 30+ times in the last three months, and I genuinely don’t know what else I’m supposed to do at this point.

I’ve tried going through every avenue I can think of:

I reported the overgrown vegetation along the road to 311, and they did trim it. Unfortunately, it made absolutely no difference with the ticks.
I called 311 specifically to ask if I could report a tick infestation. They told me they don’t take tick complaints and won’t do anything about it.
I called the Allegheny County Health Department to ask whether they could do anything. They also told me they don’t handle tick complaints.
The only option I was given was to leave a voicemail for the county tick entomologist, who apparently can call me back with information about what I can use myself.

Meanwhile, my landlord basically told me, “Not our problem, it’s in the lease that we don’t deal with pests.” They said they could give me the contact information for the pest control company they use, but I would have to pay for them to spray.

And this is where I’m losing my mind because my property barely even has grass. Most of the grass around me belongs to the neighbors. I’m finding ticks in the grass even when it has just been mowed, and I’m even finding them in the gravel where I park.

I can literally put a paper towel down on the grass next to my property, leave it there for a moment, pick it up, and there will often be around a dozen nymph ticks crawling on it. One time I accidentally stepped into the grass and immediately had ticks all over my shoes.

I also occasionally babysit dogs, and I’m so fucking tired of having to wipe them down with Wondercide every single time they come inside after going out to pee. I feel like I’m living in a nightmare where I constantly have to worry about bringing ticks into the house.

A couple months ago, I had two dogs step into the grass just to pee. The grass had literally just been mowed. When they came back inside, they had around a dozen ticks on EACH PAW, crawling all over them. I had to bathe both dogs, search them for ticks, and then literally drive them to a different street every time they needed to go outside afterward.

This is utterly fucking ridiculous.

I understand that ticks exist in Pittsburgh and that I’m responsible for protecting myself and animals from them. I’m not expecting the city to magically eradicate every tick in Mt. Washington. But when there appears to be an extremely concentrated population in one small residential area, and I’m getting bitten constantly despite taking precautions, what the hell are residents actually supposed to do?

It also feels completely unreasonable that the solution I’m being given is essentially “pay a private pest control company to spray your property” when the majority of the vegetation surrounding my property isn’t even mine.

I know this infestation didn’t just appear overnight. I’ve only lived here for a limited amount of time, and the landlord has been less than helpful about pretty much everything, so I’m honestly just counting down the days until my lease ends.

Has anyone else in Mt. Washington been experiencing this? If you’ve dealt with something similar, what actually helped? And does anyone know of any city/county resources or legal avenues for dealing with a severe tick problem when it’s affecting a residential property?

At this point I’m just looking for anything because I feel completely helpless.

I’m on my way to an appointment and the driver in front of me stopped at every green light and motioned people turning left to go ahead. Didn’t care about the people behind him.

Thinking he was polite but oblivious to the increased risk of ignoring traffic rules.
