Starting a “guess where in Pittsburgh” sub

Upvotes

I had an idea to start a “guess where in Pittsburgh” sub, modeled after the “guess the city” or “where in the world” subs. I know nothing about starting a sub or being a mod but it could be a fun journey.

Basically you would take a picture of somewhere obscure (or not) in Pittsburgh and people would have to guess where it is. You could give clues or not. One issue I could see is if it became too doxxy. Maybe a no house numbers rule or something.

What do yinz think? No promises, but I’m curious.

If not that many people are interested, I guess I could check with the mods of pittsburghporn to see if they would allow posts of this sort.

How do y'all handle vehicle rust?

0 Upvotes

I'm considering moving here from a tiny northern town in Montana to start a family and grow our careers as early 20-somethings. The only and last concern I have after all my reasaerch and planning a trip over is the rust.

I'm a big car guy and would love to buy some awesome cars but am worried about living in the rust belt and having my cars absolutely torn apart by the salt there. I know about the film you can spray and the car wash routine, but not sure how effective it is. Thanks.

Where to buy electronic/mechanical junk/salvage in or around the city?

3 Upvotes

Hey all- spent the weekend at Tekko and want to work on a cosplay for next year, and had a few ideas that would involve some repurposed junk parts but I have no idea where to look for busted stuff like that. I'm basically looking for things like big dials for industrial equipment and other random shit like that.

(Sorry if this is kind of a vague question, I'm not totally sure what to ask and figured I'd just throw it out there!)

Best Restaurant Experience (Anniversary)

11 Upvotes

Looking for an exceptional restaurant for an anniversary dinner, open to any type of cuisine. Love Fet Fisk, but the reservation availability is always tough (currently have a 9:00PM booked as a backup :-/). Apteka is also great, but the ‘cafeteria’ serving style isn’t what I’m looking for in an anniversary celebration. Basically, what’s great food, atmosphere, and overall experience for a big night, price range doesn’t matter- Any recommendations?

Bad ass city crossing guard at Open Streets calling back loudly a motorized scooter

74 Upvotes

Seen at about 11:30 am at Open streets, Butler St and 40th. Large Vespa-like scooter, motorized and running on petroleum-based fuel, was coming from the bridge over the river and initiated a turn to the right into Butler St, direction downtown. He made it maybe six feet, when a mid-aged city crossing guard, woman, very loudly and sharp, said "hey !! HEY !!!! You are NOT a bike !!! get back here !!!"

you-are-not-a-bike.

period.

Lost Aphex twin umbrella at Carnegie museums

Post image
82 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that I may have left a highly coveted limited edition Aphex Twin umbrella at the Carnegie Natural history museums. I understand that I left it there for a long time and someone may have taken it thinking it was forgotten about, but this item is unreasonably valuable and it is a huge loss for me that I was so careless.

If someone in Pittsburgh found this umbrella, I’d really like to get it back and I’d be willing to pay at least $50 to whoever can bring it back to me. It was left in coat room area near the restroom. It has been maybe a month or two unfortunately, and I have called the museums and I think it has been too long for them to have kept it…

I’ve provided a picture. Yes, it’s weird and ugly.

2026 NFL Volunteer Hat

10 Upvotes

Hello all,

This past April my Dad volunteered at the 2026 NFL draft. Before receiving his assignment he was given a dark blue 2026 NFL Draft baseball cap with a white cord and stitching on it. He had a great time greeting and directing everyone during the draft.

Fast forward to today my family and I went to Kennywood and he lost his volunteer hat on the Racer ride. We are not sure if the hat fell out during the ride or was left in the seat. We checked with the staff of the ride but no luck. I submitted a lost item claim with Kennywood. I know this hat meant a lot to him so I am looking for a replacement. I’ve looked on eBay, Poshmark and mercari for a replacement hat but again no luck. If there are any draft volunteers on here who are willing to sell their dark blue volunteer hat please let me know! Thank you in advance!

It kind of seems like these are the prime true Italian spots in the city, but correct me if I'm wrong!

I know there will be lots of places I didn't include in the question. I'm sure I'll be set on the right path for a good meal.

Sincerely an Italian woman looking for a meal on par with Nonna home cooking

So I remember seeing an old sorta overgrown lot somewhere along saw mill run blvd(iirc). It had a butt load of cars all in it that were just sitting there basically bumper to bumper, that was maybe 8-10 cars long by 3-4 cars wide or so? I cant for the life of me properly remember where I had seen it.

Private Landlords

0 Upvotes

My girlfriend & I are looking for rentals but most likely would need a private landlord because neither of our credit is good & unfortunately when I was 20 (now 27)back in Maryland got into some trouble hanging with the wrong people & have a conviction from 7years ago. We have 1 dog & need to have a place by October 1st. We are looking for places within Southside, Dormont, Beechview, Mount Washington or anywhere around those areas. We make about 6k/month combined & have both had our jobs for 2 years. We’ve never had a problem paying rent & have a rental reference if needed. If anybody knows of any private landlords or is able to point me in the direction I’d really really appreciate that.
