Reply to ISO Beef Chow Fun by foundry37

I grew up with Cantonese food and the best one I've had in PGH is at the new Parlor Dim Sum spot in Lawrenceville. Did not love the dim sum, but their beef hor fun is actually really legit and good.

I also had it at Lulus on Craig St and Orient Express while in college. Lulu's just got bought by Bao and its called Bao II I think. They might have it there.

Reply to is school inter districting allowed in Allegheny county by pghgreatest

School fisticuffs aren’t county wide - they are funded by local taxes, so to send your child to a school you need to live within the town/city etc whose property taxes fund it.

Many districts will allow you to pay tuition to attend, but at that point you’re paying often more than private school tuition.

Reply to How’s the local music scene in Pittsburgh- really? by meatsweats77

Unfortunately I think Pittsburghers have a bit of a problem supporting their local music scene compared to similar sized cities. That's not to say there aren't some individuals who try their best. If you know where to look, you'll find plenty live local music, but not a lot of venues have built-in crowds.

I think theoretically yes but you need to pay tuition to the new school. And it's up to the new school to accept you, and no one does. I know of one non PPS kid who paid tuition to go to capa. It's probably something like that but these parents were politically connected, and wealthy. So in reality, no.

Reply to Opinions on potential rent: is 4500 before utilities too much for new construction, 3b 1.5ba, 1 car garage, quiet st in great neighborhood (central Lawrenceville) too much? What is your estimate on utilities (heat and electricity) for such a size? New to town here, would love your input. by prenzlauerallee3

That's horrible! We moved to Canonsburg. Paying $2,800 for our mortgage. We refuse to pay high taxes for crappy schools for our kids. At least Washington County taxes are lesser than Alleghany...for now. Which brings the next question, where do these taxes go towards if not maintaining the roads and improving the schools?
