Well if I had that happen I would probably just leave, like I said I’ve never had that experience, and just to clarify, I’m about as center politically as it gets, if there was an actual libertarian party candidate that would probably be me. I’m all for gun registration, insurance, mandatory training which PA requires none, and so on, I’m pro second amendment but hardly a Nazi

I haven’t gone in a few years, so you’re probably correct. I know pre 2020 you needed a license, just in case the game warden showed up. However, I never saw one once

I'm sure other places do it, but A&S pistol range in Youngwood does a handgun safety course that teaches you how to shoot. My dad has me take it at 12 since I didn't want to hunt.

What's annoying about these housing developments is the back ass, narrow country roads aren't designed to handle the extra traffic. The housing development recently built by my house proves this.
Atleast 3 times a week I'm almost killed by some suburbanite Karen in a huge suv coming around a bend on the wrong side of the road doing double the speed limit.
Of course these people are the type of people that will put up signs that say "slow children at play" Infront of their house yet they drive like complete disrespectful assholes everywhere else

No no, that's not the same. Nobody in Sheetz talks, they just sit there and watch YouTube videos without headphones until it's time to leave

It’s not closing, the chef bought it and will run it.
I’ve never been but I have some older friends from a Facebook Group that are regulars there, they use it as a place to get together and talk. This is exactly the place you are looking for from what I can tell.

Nordstroms at the mall. Good lighting and lots of clean spaces

Scott Township isn't in Pittsburgh, and neither is Robinson.
As long as your street address and ZIP code are correct, you could write "Fart Town, PA" on the envelope and it'll get delivered. The mailing address city is meaningless.

When we pass it, we ask if anyone wants to stop at the Jeff Reed Memorial Sheetz. Someone needs to lose his shit on the one in Blairsville so we have a name for it as well.

Robberies, a thing that only happens in the City of Pittsburgh.

Reply to comment by skfoto in Assault, harassment charges against former Pittsburgh mayoral candidate Tony Moreno thrown out by Jumpy-Natural4868
what I don't get is the 911 call was supposed to have recorded Tony Moreno threatening to shoot the gun. not surprised at all about this. I hope the neighborhood ostracizes him.

Ok so the whole Nazi thing is hackneyed, overused and an insult to people who actually endured the Nazis.

There's a car dealership that closed on West Liberty a few years ago - a variance notice appeared in the window saying that the owner / buyer was looking to redevelop and put a car wash in there. I was certain it was going to be a GetGo but that never materialized. Sad!

I'm a lefty gun owner in Churchill (45m). I was basically in your position five years ago. Then the Trump election happened and it occurred to me that if the only people who owned and knew how to handle guns were far Right wing types, we'd be in trouble as a country.
The basic safety course from Keystone isn't a bad suggestion. My wife and I did that one. It did what it says on the tin. It also has the benefit of being an established business, not requiring you to meet up with internet strangers for the express purpose of shooting guns.
I'm a member of a private range out in Murrysville that I go to a couple times a month, usually weekend mornings. If nothing else works from the suggestions here, DM me and you can tag along.

In theory this should drive down surrounding home values, right?
In reality, it probably will raise property values on existing homes.

I think you can just pay to use it too like $5 or something.

I refuse. I didn't shovel today. I'm not doing it!

That seems high. Since you have already double checked usage, that's a place to start. If the same stuff in VA pulled half the kwH, something is pulling current off your meter.
I'd look at the age of your systems to see if that's a contributing factor, but the other thing would be to invest in a home energy monitor that can tell you a bunch of information like which circuits are pulling what amounts and exactly when it's happening - however, if you arent comfortable around electric you might need to pay an electrician to set it up.
​
After that you can look at things like insulation, and leaks.

I’m not sure, I never really thought about it past me wanting a mozzarella stick. There is the old bank that is just sitting empty while coughlins uses the parking lot, perhaps there

No, pretending actual Nazis, who are rising in number, aren’t Nazis is an insult to those who suffered under the Nazis.
