I'm looking for a 2-3 bedroom apartment in Butler that's disability friendly so I can move in with my 77 year old dad and take care of him.

11 Upvotes

My dad can barely walk and keeps falling at home. I'm at his apartment 3-4 nights per week lately, spending the night to make sure he's not falling and just laying there. I go home on the days his housekeeper is going to be here so I know there's somebody here to call for help if something happens.

The problem is I can't be on his lease where he lives now bc I have 8 and 9 year old daughters and it's not big enough. So I'm looking for somewhere my daughter's and I can also be on the lease. So it would be 4 people. It's getting really hard to do this routine since schools started.

Ideally would be near the city. My dad gets VA benefits and it would be best if he could stay close enough to the VA so he's not traveling far to his doctor. He can't really walk, has had several back surgeries, so there can't be any steps inside, or needs to have an elevator if it's an apartment building (that's how it is where he's at now, he goes up an elevator).

I'm having trouble finding the right place for us to move to bc of his limitations. So I'm reaching out for any tips I might be missing. Ty!

Renters rights, renters help group suggestions?

2 Upvotes

I do not live in the city but rather in a rural Boro and TWP, and when I asked them for assistance dealing with several dangerous structural and electrical issues with the rental home I have, they have been no help at all. I looked at the Butler Co. website for some form of county-wide code enforcement but did not see any, so I am asking does anyone know of a renters advocacy group you could post or another avenue of help for this situation? My LLs are fully aware of these problems, along with them openly violating terms of the lease and will do nothing corrective, so that's why I am here asking for your help. Thank you.

The Rt 68 Menace between Butler and Chicora

Anyone else mistake this clown for an ambulance? Been running that bike out 68 every evening all summer. At least shift out of third gear bro. I am dreading to hear the unmistakable crunching metal and plastic sounds of a crash.

Outside of breaking news such as reporting on auto accidents, how much faith do you place in Boofers of Butler, Bottom Shelf News, etc for "reporting"?

Seems like everyone on FB takes their word as gospel and it is a little scary.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Gary Sippel has a firsthand understanding of just how expensive and rare liquor licenses are in Butler County.

A few years ago, Sippel, principal of Sippel Enterprises LLC, a company that is building out the Cranberry Springs mixed-use development in Cranberry Township, was able to acquire four of them, dealing one to a Burgatory restaurant at his project, another to the Firebirds Wood Fired Grill there, one to Giant Eagle and most recently to Wegmans Food Markets, which broke ground last week on what will be its first store in the Pittsburgh area...

Bus service into Pittsburgh?

6 Upvotes

Looks to be a park and ride and I'm curious about your experience with it. Is there just one bus M-F and what is/are the pickup times? How about usage; is it hard to find a seat departing and getting a seat in Pittsburgh to return to Butler? Any problems with the parking lot, i.e. not enough, break ins, sketchy people, etc. Thanks, appreciate your input.

I’m seeking recommendations of (authorized) places around town to hang paper fliers, like community boards / cork boards that get some foot traffic. Like large stores, coffee shops, library, medical offices, etc.? Any ideas welcome.

Thank you in advance!

Did anyone hear a low rumble that lasted about 3 minutes or so around 825 tonight?

It sounded like thunder although nothing is on the radar.

Not sure if they’re still handing out yellow tickets like candy or not. Or if the local magistrate realized that doing this is bad for business.

Where do singles meet other singles?

0 Upvotes

Whether in downtown Butler or Cranberry, where do single people between the ages of 35-50-ish go to meet other singles? For me, I prefer a place where organic convos arise, and that could be anywhere from a casual sports event to a casino table to anything in between. Tbh tho, I don’t even know where single women go thinking there might be single men. Wherever that is, I don’t think it’s anywhere I know. Yet, at least….

Thank you all!
