I’ve tried for over 3 years to buy an empty lot owned by the city. Never a single reply back.

Weird that people with connections to the city get massive prime lots for pennies on the dollar.

Still havent seen a reason yet, looks like the roof caught fire from some of the exterior pics posted in WPXI's article. Fire was concentrated over/in the auditorium.

Here are a few pics from the firemen on site posted in a local Elizabeth FB group.

Stage in auditorium

Hallway connecting to stage

I cant remember where those were, this was concentrated in the auditorium. The roof was up in flames too.

Pittsburgh fucking sucks at selling off properties and allowing for growth

North Park, near the corner of Ingomar and Grubbs Road (Devlin Park).

Frick Park in Squirrel Hill has a lot to offer for calisthenics. Even a lot of hills to walk or run up. That's not exactly on the North side though but it's so nice it might be worth the extra travel.

They've got pull up bars with varying grips and a platform that even lets you do inverted rows, parallel bars, chest press, ab things, etc. Worth going to at least once to check it out. When I first moved here it was my haven. Plug in 'blue slide park' in your GPS and just follow the paved path into the park and you'll find all of the equipment. Also do explore the dirt paths when it's a little less muddy, they are lovely and would be a great workout if you like to run or even walk.

Seconding Highland Park. They have a set on the reservoir drive circle. Also Riverview Trail in Frick Park using the entrance off of Beechwood where Blue Slide Playground is.

That looks concerning

Highland park. Mccandless Park.

Gods damn, I wonder if the old ass boilers finally let go.

Kids will do anything to get out of school. Just a joke calm down.

Explains my love of yellow & orange.

I can almost feel this picture sticking to my teeth.

Pins at South Side Works or Victory Pointe down by 12th and Carson. Plus there's a bunch of dessert places on the South Side, Milkshake Factory, Insomnia Cookies, or Churn.

Carpet slide park in Ross Township is fun for 6 year old. Hell, it's fun for me in my 40s.

I remember the sports cards and others. He Man I can't recall but I may have just stopped raiding the bread for the trading cards haha

Not me, but got to go every week with my grandfather to the store counter where we'd stock up on Hostess products. The store front is still there and it's in a sad state:

That brings back memories. A bunch of us kids saving up bread wrappers and taking a bus to the game. Made you feel like a grownup. lol

Another Fun Fact. Town Talk used to come with random trading cards. One series was based on cars that were crossed with animals, they were my favorite:

I had most of these at one point.

“Donnie Iris buys bread”

Wow I’m old. I remember going to the store for my mom. It was always Drakes bread, because it was 32 cents. Town Talk was 35 cents. The three cents made a difference. Confession: sometimes I bought Town Talk, because they were … ahem..”out of “ Drakes.

Yinz remember they used to come with He-Man trading cards in the 80s?

I think they also had Steelers cards for a while---I still have a few---unless I am mistaking them with another giveaway.

I remember crafting a waterproof sleeve out of these bags for the summer that I had a broken arm. Used it whenever I took a shower. Totally looked like a clown arm but it worked and I'd eat that bread again right now if someone gave me a loaf.
