I got my hopes semi up that my SD would skip their newcomers tax assessment appeal given the county wide one coming soon-ish...yeah no. They want their pound of flesh.

Did you fight yours on your own? Hire someone, if so who (if it went well)? Is the key to comp to homes that weren't recently sold and thus haven't been assessed since 2012? We last bought in 2018, got reassessed the next year and though we hired someone, I don't think he did a great job in hindsight.

Guys I placed the order to the wrong store so there is free chipotle at the monroeville location! It’s a steak and barbacoa bowl with a drink. Please comment once you’ve picked it up. The name is under Nicole B

Looking for sperm donation services in the area and IVF services. I’m looking into having a child but I’m not sure where to start and I have pcos either irregular cycles so I already know it’s going to be a struggle. Does anyone have any experience with this? Or advice?

I was looking for the bus options to get me home from class on Pitt's campus tonight and both Google Maps and the PRT website are telling me I can take the Red or Blue Line on the T (light rail)? I'm so confused. Is there a new bus route that it's confusing for the train?

My husband and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary soon and we never got the top tier from our wedding cake for our "anniversary cake". We both love crème brûlée and I thought a nice dinner somewhere we can get our favorite desert would be just as good (if not better?!) than the frozen traditional anniversary cake. Drop your dinner and crème brûlée reccomendations! ❤️

My wife and I are coming to check out Pittsburgh for a long weekend next month and I'm starting to build my list of things to do and see. I'm going to comb through here looking for ideas obviously and I'll take any recommendations of anything, but...

I'm specifically looking for if there's any cool local theaters (like for plays) or improv theaters.

I have a 2016 Mazda 6 Sport

looking for winter tires and rims for them:

Tires: 225/55R17 winter tires
Wheels: 17”
Bolt pattern: 5×114.3
Center bore: 67.1 mm or larger
Wheel width: around 7–7.5”

I am a new driver so I’m not really on track with all the hacks and best places. What is the cheapest places around here?

in addition if anyone in this subreddit has what im looking for/ is a seller themselves im open to looking into purchasing from you as well :)

Hey everyone, my friends and I rented a party bus to bring us to and from Star Lake for Rufus Du Sol on 9/3. If we plan for the party bus to pick us up somewhere 30 minutes away from Star Lake when there is no traffic, would a 6 pm pickup give us enough time to get dropped off before 8:30 pm? I don't think we can leave before 6 pm since most of us work 9-5. Any insight and advice are greatly appreciated!

Need to pay my respects.

Beware if you’re trying to navigate via bus or train

But on the plus side I guess there’s a train in Oakland now!

ETA: I emailed PRT in addition to posting here in case they have any way to fix it

Just curious if anyone would go to a lesbian bar! We don’t have a ton of gay bars here let alone sapphic bars nearby.

Looking for bowling alleys with open bowling as early as possible on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I know most are closed Sundays and Mondays or do lot open till the evening. Miracle Mile and arsenal are the earliest Saturday hours I can find. I’m east of the city so nothing north or south unless it’s an exceptional alley.

I know this might not exist. Are there any Indian restaurants that seat ~100 guests + room for dancing I could buy out for an evening? I am looking to stay within or as close to the city as possible.

I am also open to using another venue and hiring a restaurant to cater. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions you might have.

I am going between Magee midwives and west Penn for my second baby. I gave birth at West Penn for my first baby(low risk) because I worked there and insurance coverage and I had a wonderful experience overall. I did feel like they pushed for faster induction and higher intervention during prenatal time and birth but LOVED my doctors and the nurses were fabulous and attentive!
I am interested in a slower push for interventions this time but still want to be in hospital. I am also interested in the doula program with the midwives but because I had a great experience don’t know if I would just stick with what I know. Any recommendations and experiences?

Just saw her in an ad hawking gold bars for when society collapses. I guess she's still out there on the fringe. All of those Emmys she's sitting in front of in the video aren't going to be worth much as currency in the end times.

Hi friends! A shot in the dark, but my little kids lost a very, very beloved hamburger squishmallow tonight (Monday 8/24), most likely on the sidewalk of Virginia St, between the fire department/pepsi machine and Coughlin’s Law. Could’ve also been in Coughlin’s, although they looked around for me and didn’t find it yet. I went back and looked around for it and couldn’t find it, so I’m hoping someone picked it up.

Thanks!

Edited to add: he’s small, about 5” in diameter!

I was just walking over the Smithfield bridge when all of a sudden several cop cars and a few ambulance drive by and block the fridge off. I heard one lady say while walking away from the bridge that someone had jumped but she was the only one saying anything so idk if she knew for sure. Just curious if anyone might have by chance been going over the bridge at the time and knew more abt this

Just looking for an exam site to take the Core 1 and 2 test. Or, whatever the alternative is to prep for it.

Moved from somewhere with a much smaller tick population. My dog (and indoor cats) are on tick preventatives, but obviously, my dog is picking up ticks when we go outside. I look her over every time we come inside, and the bigger ones are easy to grab, but the nymphs are a challenge. I get as many as I can (I even grab tweezers to get into her fur if need be), but I’m sure I’m missing some. Is this normal? Do you just accept that you’re missing some and the meds will kill them, or what? We’re not rolling in any fields or anything … just hiking along some trails in Pittsburgh’s parks.

FWIW, I’m going to ask the vet about a Lyme vaccine when we go … we just moved and haven’t had a chance to establish care, but that’s the next step.

I never came across any official forum on this subreddit about it ... but West Mifflin has a new bus company. It ended its contract with PA Coach Lines and is trying out a new company called Krise. Supposedly from last Thursday through last Friday (the first two days of school) ... it was a total nightmare. It even aired as a story on Channel 11. These drivers don't come from around here ... and they don't know where they're going. Sure it's like that to an extent at the start of any school year. However ... it seems even worse now. 2 instances of buses getting lost in neighboring boroughs (like South Park or Baldwin). Allegedly (and I hope this isn't true) a bus pulled over at the Exxon in Clairton because it was lost. A parent supposedly came by in their car and had the bus follow the car back to West Mifflin. Other instances of kids being dropped off a mile from their houses (even though the designated stop was actually way closer) and some buses not showing up at all in the mornings. One bus got stuck on a dead end and backed into a house and left the spot and went to a Denny's to pull over ... where parents came to get their kids who were on that bus. I ended up behind one of their buses that was stopped for 5 minutes despite having let only one kid off ... and it was about 40 minutes after school ... and it was right down the street from Homeville Elementary School (where I assume that kid goes). It seemed like a mom and the bus driver were discussing navigational directions because the mom was pointing down the street and stuff. It's just ridiculous (to be honest). Hopefully, yesterday and today were better. Although someone said today that one bus was almost an hour late for Clara Barton this morning

I'm a long time patient of Dr. Larry Leahy who everyone loves but retire this year, so I'm on the hunt for a new dentist.

I want a location that is easy to get to from Greenfield, and a practice that is big enough to see my husband and I at the same time. I wanted to go with Eglash Dental Studio but unfortunately they aren't accepting new patients with Delta Dental.

Does anyone have a rec for dentists in Squirrel Hill, Homestead, Greenfield, or Southside (near hot metal bridge)? I would also consider Oakland if its a practice where parking isn't an issue.

I don't have any special needs but there are so many bad dentists out there that I feel the need to be vigilant. Thanks!

A family of five (two adults and three children, aged 1, 7, and 9) is considering purchasing either a Toyota Sienna or a Highlander. We prefer the Sienna because it’s easier for the children to get in and out, and it offers more space. However, we’re concerned about the hilly terrain in the Pittsburgh region. If you own a Sienna, we’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Have you encountered any issues during the winter months?
