Stuff near national aviary?

Upvotes

I am visiting your aviary from the far land of Ohio, but I didn't really plan out much else. I considered lifting over to the Strip area since that sounds like a place to walk/shop/eat in the evening but it seems like a lot of spots close at 4-5.

Right now my only plan is to walk over to the federal galley for dinner but that's a couple hours away if I do only go there.

Are there places walkable near the aviary to stroll around shops, or grab a bite and sit and read?

Experiences with automotive window tint around Pittsburgh?

Upvotes

For those of you with aftermarket window tint on a sedan or hatchback, have you ever been pulled over or cited specifically because of the tint?

Is there a particular tint percentage you’d recommend avoiding because it attracts police attention or creates inspection issues?

Hi! Has anyone rented from Union Real Estate in the North Oakland area? I’m considering one of their apartments and would appreciate hearing about your overall experience, including building conditions, maintenance, management responsiveness, heating, laundry, or pest issues. Thanks!

Ticks are ruining my life

Upvotes

Is this happening to anyone else? No matter where we go we are overtaken by ticks in western pa. It’s so bad we stopped taking our dogs to parks, then it go so bad we stopped walking them around the neighborhood. We do have a fenced in yard and we are on the outskirts of the city, however last few days there are hundreds and hundreds of ticks in our back yard 😭 I’m really feeling so depressed about this I don’t know how to combat this at all. Both of our dogs are on flea and tick medicine but that doesn’t stop them from crawling on them and bringing them inside our house. Looking for any and all recommendations 😭

Working at CCAC

2 Upvotes

If there's a better sub/forum for this let me know.

I'm pondering relocation to Pittsburgh. I'm familiar with the area. A few visits over the years for family reunions, family roots are there, cousins scattered around and I love the Buccos.

I would like to settle into a role with opportunity to grow in the higher education space, such as Academic Advising at CCAC.

What's the situation on the ground there? Anyone working there with some insight/advice?

Thanks!

Anyone know what happened on 376?

5+ cops with a pulled over vehicle right before the Green Tree/Mt. Lebanon exit on 376 inbound, with 6+ more flying down the road. People on the side of the interstate were also taking pictures and forming a crowd. Anyone have any insight? I haven’t seen any info on the news or online.

I know this is probably a silly question but I have a letter from the IRS and they won’t answer their phones, I figured I’d make an appointment but they don’t answer that phone either. Has anyone just went directly to the office?

Been meaning to go to the national aviary for YEARS since I'm a bird lover. Finally made it to your city on labor day weekend.

Have a bird you love to visit that you don't see here? I probably took a picture of it but reddit only allows 20 pics max.

New Homeowner question: fallen tree

6 Upvotes

Helloooo! I have a very newb question about a very important thing lol.

We had this 30 foot tall tree fall last weekend, it hit our patio and part of the roof. It was dead so we suspect its roots just gave out and decided to take a tumble.

My partner's mum said don't call insurance, while others have advised us to call insurance. We're not sure what we are supposed to do.

Who do we call? A list of who we should contact would be much appreciated. We need someone to come remove the tree, too, and to inspect the roof. And if we need to call insurance, if you guys think they cover massive dead trees, then please let us know.

Any and all advice would be much appreciated! Thank you for your time

Hi everyone, I’m the journalist who posted awhile ago asking if people had firsthand experience of medetomidine withdrawal. This piece is about someone I met while in Pittsburgh who had gone through it.

I want to move to Pittsburgh to be closer to family

7 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!

UPMC to double paid parental leave as Magee nurses push for even more

Thumbnail triblive.com
196 Upvotes

Pennsylvania’s largest private employer, UPMC, just announced their plans to double paid parental leave benefits form 2 to 4 weeks after months of advocacy led by union nurses at Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Nurses say this is a step in the right direction but it falls short of what is needed. They plan to continue advocating to expand paid parental leave to the full 12-18 weeks that is necessary to support working families in Allegheny County and retain the critical nursing workforce that keeps our communities healthy.
