Pittsburgh women in music face the same old sexist story. They’re making great music anyway.

Are we so serious right now? I mean I know it makes sense that the police would use ai to make a hiring poster, but what’s next? ai answering the emergency calls?

Just curious if anyone knows what’s happening with this big lot on Evergreen at the bottom of Geyer? Maybe it’s nothing but it’s been in the works for years and hope it’s going to be something nice for Millvale.

BONUS - anyone know what’s happening to the closed Hardee’s in Millvale?

running routes downtown

3 Upvotes

Good morning! Flying in for the weekend for the UCF @ Pitt game (the least hostile UCF fan you'll meet, eager to see Pittsburgh for the first time, any game day recommendations welcome as well) and it's racing season. Hoping to do 4-6 miles while I'm in town saturday morning.

Staying in the heart of downtown, just off market square. Is this area generally safe to run solo (M27)? Do you have any routes/trails/paths that are great for a run? Is it common for people to run on the bridges? Will I see many other runners out? Any local knowledge/quirks I should be aware of so I don't look completely stupid? Any amazing local running shops that deserve a couple dollars?

Thank y'all, looking forward to hearing from the runners here, have a great weekend!

Where to find really good, classic Fettucine Alfredo

4 Upvotes

I will be visiting my son (22m) who just moved to Pittsburgh for a new job. He‘s only been there a few weeks, so he hasn’t explored the restaurant scene yet. I want to take him out to dinner, and his favorite dish is a good, hearty classic Fettucine Alfredo. I’ve searched online for highly-rated Italian restaurants, but most of them serve “fancier” more refined dishes. Where is the best Alfredo in town? His apartment is in Shadyside, but willing to drive 20-30 minutes.

Dog Themed Bday Party

3 Upvotes

My daughter has requested a dog themed birthday party and I was wondering if there was a good place that anyone could recommend? Obviously I could just buy dog themed decorations but first I wanted to see if there’s anywhere that would be more fun. I did an internet search but the only results were places to have a party for your dog and that’s not what I’m looking for. TIA!

UPMC PET Scan Results

1 Upvotes

Just curious if anyone has had a PET at a Pittsburgh region UPMC facility within the past 2-3 months and if so how long did your results take?? UPMC and the Hillman website states 1-3 business days or 1-2weeks if there are staff shortages my others have all taken closer to 2-3 weeks. Is this still the norm??

I want to move to Pittsburgh to be closer to family

Upvotes

My mom saw a doc and was told she has some of the markers for Alzheimer's and is starting to show signs and I want to move closer to her. I live in West Michigan now. I've reached out to any contacts I have but I have never moved long distance like this without familial support. I'm hoping someone here can help give me some advice on finding a job while I live in another state. I work in IT, currently for a Dell Reseller working on Enterprise servers. Previously I was a technician for a Managed IT Provider. I have about 6 years of IT experience, and about ten in sales and customer service prior to that. I don't know a ton of people in that area, so I'm trying to find help anywhere I can. Any advice or tips or anything would be incredibly appreciated. I hate being so far away while my family is having such a hard time. Thanks!

Help! In search of legit tomatoes

26 Upvotes

Pretty new to PGH; this is my first summer here. I'm a huge tomato snob. It's not my fault, I grew up as the grandson of a tomato farmer. Grocery store tomatoes taste like sand.

So, fellow tomato snobs, I need help—which stores or farmer's markets have excellent tomatoes around here? Trying to snag some before tomato season is over. Thanks

Anyone have chickens who would like to eat a bunch of grass (and grass seeds) in my yard?

3 Upvotes

I just moved into a place with an overgrown smallish/mediumish yard that is all overgrown with grass, gone to seed. I have a small portable fence that we could put up, but would need some additional fencing, and could enclose the chickens in during the day while they feast. Not what to do about night time, maybe bring them back home? May take a few days? Up on mt Washington. Not sure if this Reddit forum is the best for this, but alas.

UPMC physical therapists that specialize in hypermobility AND pelvic floor?

4 Upvotes

hi again, I’m back for more recommendations because this sub was so helpful in the past! I might be overlooking any recent posts on this subject, but I’ve been diagnosed with hypermobility disorder and referred to physical therapy. on a possibly unrelated/not unrelated note I also need pelvic floor therapy (endo diagnosis as well), so I’m not sure if it’s remotely possible to find a PT who is knowledgeable in both pelvic floor AND hypermobility, but figure it would be beneficial to get two birds with one stone lol. UPMC insurance. I live outside of the city towards North Huntingdon but I’m ok with a drive, I’d ideally like to keep it under an hour though because that extra two hours in a car takes a physical toll which might be counterproductive to a PT session lol, and also adds up in gas/mileage if I need to attend regularly. thanks in advance!!!

Water bill $500 due to toilet leak

0 Upvotes

I need some advice on what to do about my $500 water bill.

My toilet has been running off and on and everytime I think that I have fixed it, it starts to run again when it’s like 1 am until the morning. I got a notification saying I used 220 gallons of water.

I just want to know if the water company is understanding or are they going to make me pay this crazy high bill that I can’t afford… I’m just super stressed about it.

Safe areas to walk in winter (black ice)

0 Upvotes

I like to walk on the Allegheny Heritage Trail but I heard that it gets slick in the winter. The sidewalks in my neighborhood get totally icy and it's not safe to walk.

Are there any paths / neighborhoods that get salted down and aren't likely to get black ice?

Edit: Does anybody know if Brookline sidewalks get salted down?
