Reply to comment by skfoto in Why not just have all parking fare terminals include PRT ConnectCard terminals? by cerebrospynal
Yeah the ConnectCard website is convenient but it always has that disclaimer to "allow up to 48 hours" for funds to be available or something. I know it never actually takes that long, but if I need to be certain of having funds available right away the best option is a terminal.
Thanks for the info too! A sensible explanation.

Because Sheetz prioritizes large footprint parcels of land that can fit their large footprint gasoline, convenience, and restaurant layouts. Not only that, but multiple access points on an intersection is also high priority. That stuff doesn't even factor in space for drivethru, car wash, etc. that are nice-to-haves.
Real estate that can support requirements like these is nearly impossible to find within city limits, particulary in the Northeast.

You will want to consider where you will be working and live on that side of town to avoid rush hour/ tunnel traffic. If you have kids pay attention to the school district ratings.

Be fully honest with yourself. Is it really laughably impossible to imagine how someone who is 1) new to gun ownership, 2) doesn’t come from a family or community that teaches you how to handle guns and gets you used to being around gun enthusiasts, and/or 3) is visibly from a class of people that SOME conservatives have a problem being around (people of color, LGBTQ people, stereotypical “blue haired liberals,” or whatever) might feel uncomfortable or even threatened just popping into your local gun store or rolling in at Wexford like “hey guys, I want to shoot with you, but I don’t know what I’m doing”?

They have some like this - the one at downtown State College that a few people have referenced above was only the food bit, no gas. I worked at a Sheetz in Westmoreland county for 5 years and can confirm they do not want to be in the gas business. They're always trying to push over into just food, and encouraged us to act like we worked at "A restaurant, that just so happens to sell gas". I wish they'd open more food only locations. Also they have a sheetz drinks food truck (only made the shakes/smoothies/hot & cold coffee drinks) that they'd travel around to different public events, like the PGH marathon and whatnot - worked in it once and it was so chill while being nonstop busy, definitely an interesting experience.

As the article mentions, anyone who pays property taxes has to write out checks to the treasurer every year. I can’t remember who it was before Weinstein, but I would think being the tax man is not good name recognition.

We accept Fallingwater as our own, though a bit distant physically.

USPS has been awful getting my stuff to me too. My entire apartment building went almost 2 weeks without letters because the delivery man lost the key (I know this because he flagged me down after that time as I was entering rhe building to hold the door for him). Missing bills, packages, paychecks, etc. My last paycheck was torn down the side too. And between my building and the sister apartment building we get packages delivered to the wrong place constantly. I find myself usually once a week or so bringing packages from our building to the other one or they'll just sit there.
Only real solution is to go to your building and ask directly for your stuff. I even offered to buy the postman a replacement key but they didn't take it

A rising tide lifts all boats, but not necessarily equally.
If there isn’t strong demand for existing homes in West Deer that doesn’t mean there isn’t interest in new construction.
Tap into that demand and you have a better chance of attracting demand for existing homes.

I strongly believe their pizza is some of the best in Pittsburgh. Their fresh cut pepperoni is great.

I think I would vote for three toddlers in a trench coat before I’d cast a vote for the guy who charges me for living in a house.

Because the parking terminals are supplied by a third party vendor to the city (and administrated by the city) and PRT is a county agency.
So once you design a combination parking terminal and connect card reader, then you’ll have to get two separate agencies in agreement on operating them.
Alternatively you can just use your phone to take care of both your connect card account and your parking fees.

How racist of you to assume that no low income = white enclave.
So in your mind, people of color are always low income?
