new amsterdam would fit in on the southside. industry as well but a little older crowd. i have heard the goldmark trends younger. there is plenty of diversity in crowds though.

More Dormont than Lebo for the single person though. Dormont a little more Pittsburgh-authentic. Lebo nice place to visit for dinner options or an expensive vegan yogurt (Piccadilly)...

Dormont's got yer Hollywood Theater, Thai Spoon. Potomac Bakery, J-Mart (Turkish grocery store), Vinyl Remains record shop, legendary Campiti's Pizza, decent park and the trolley to downtown all within walking distance.

I always thought Molly's pizza, a few doors down, was so incredibly good.

Never a fan of the Hollywood Theater, but it's OK.

Is "middle aged" not a term people use anymore? 45 is definitely not young. It's not old, but it's not young.

I absolutely LOVE Dormont!

My current position has a city residency requirement. With that being said I was just informed by our union head that we’ll likely be going through “major contract renegotiations” within the next two years. I’m thinking after a review of our wages vs. rising city rents they’ll either decide to give us a $2/hr. raise to bring us closer to parity with comparable county positions (unlikely) or relax the residency requirement to include municipalities adjacent to the city limits. The latter is more likely since the police just won the right to live not only in Dormont but in Jeannette if they so chose. Considering our office can’t find enough applicants these renegotiations will include either that wage increase or the relaxed residency requirement, or a lot of us will be walking.

I’ll rent a cheaper apartment by the “T” in Dormont—walkable to all those great local businesses—if that happens.

I think people who are 40-50 don’t want to call themselves “middle-aged”.

I’m just starting to call myself a “30-something”, and it feels weird.

Being in this category, I can assure you we are middle aged for sure. Even if you make 100 years old, what kind of life are you really going to have? Yeah, 40+ is middle aged. It is what it is.
