Is this really how working people want to live? It is a shame what Pittsburgh allowed. No excuses. Residents voted for this. There were other choices. The city went anti-police.

There are rarely threads like this, but the problem is there. I don’t care as much as I used to. I’m proud Pittsburgh has bicycling infrastructure now. I saw tons of cyclists today. Must be pedal Pittsburgh today. Great stuff.

It was a perfect day with low pollution. Wish I could have gone. Always fun.

I don’t want to start another crime thread, but the owner of VIP Styles was shot in Clairton and died. Such a shame, as he was a very nice man.

You underestimate the stupidity of the voters of the East End.

As far as Weiner World, it might make business sense to by the equipment and brand and open in a better location.

Asking Price: $256,000, (Including Brand), or $150,000, (Assets without the Name)

Gross Revenue: $480,000

Cash Flow: $98,000 after officer salary



Guy isn't making a whole lot of money but its only open a few hours a day. How many hot dogs does the average person eat a year? Me: 2 is about it and I'm usually at a ball game or a 4th of July cookout.

That's awesome and the reality most of the time (well, maybe not the weather part...)

A cart would do well, assuming it could get a permit. Also a food truck of course.

I am in total shock over this. Our children played sports together and I know his ex wife. This really hit home for me. Everyone is at a loss. There was a big game on Friday between Westinghouse and Clairton. The shooting happened in the area near the stadium. Tragic.

This is quite a circle of comments. Messy.

Oof.
