North Side is the best side of the city. Unless you're wealthy then go to shadyside but even then shadyside is stuck up and meh.

Crime isn't any worse than the rest of the city. The commons make the park iffy at times but even in broad daylight. For the most part theyre just junkies, not much of a threat. If you're used to city living you're gonna be fine and you're gonna enjoy the Northside more than any other hood in the city. From Manchester to deutschtown it's the most community driven area. Love over here long enough and you're gonna know a lot of people. You'll also find most people on this side of town don't really bother with the rest of the city. We're close to all the good stuff. Tons of fairs, festivals, music, some of the best restaurants, bars and pubs in the city are hidden over here.

People will always be the bigger problem. Keep your head up and be aware and you'll likely never have problems. If your dog is even a small medium sized dog most problem people will probably not choose you as a potential target.

I feel like M&E fell victim to becoming too corporate and bland. They used to have so much variety on the menu and the food was decent quality and the restaurant was fun and unique with the colored pipes and ice cream bathtub, and the last few times I had been in there (years ago) it was going downhill really quickly. I think they got rid of Free Cookie Wednesdays some time when I was in high school and I stopped going. It’s a shame.

The P-G and KDKA are still talking about restaurants having a hard time due to "pandemic restrictions."
 
Every single pandemic restriction on restaurants in this state went away on May 2021. Nearly two years ago.
 
Maybe these restaurant owners are just incompetent.

And in order to legally own and operate one of those machines, licensing is required, along with registration and insurance. If one would like to operate a higher caliber machine, such as a school bus or tractor trailer, a different, more stringent, license is needed.

So yes, I love that comparison. Let’s register weapons, make safety training and ownership licensing mandatory, require insurance to legally operate a typical handgun/hunting rifle, and if a higher power/caliber weapon is wanted, a license verifying that extra training has been taken must be obtained. And since all cars need pink slips/titles for ownership to be legal, make sure the same is necessary for all weapons so no one can circumvent waiting lists by using private sales on the internet or at gun shows.

Great idea! Even those who own and operate all of their weapons legally should get behind this, because that would make it more difficult for those who wish to own/operate weapons illegally to actually do it. Responsible gun owners should be flocking for this type of legislation since they have nothing to worry about because their weapons are owned and operated legally.

It looks further on a map - that shooting happened about a 2 minute walk from the front of your dream apartment building, with a direct line of sight to where it occurred.

Your car won’t get “broken” into most likely - but never leave it unlocked. When you step out of for breathe of fresh air, chances are at least one person is going to bug you for money or something between your walk from the building and across the street and up towards the fountain part of the park. I mention the fountain part of the park because the part of the park closest to your building is a drug market.

You won’t like this part of the neighborhood, I can tell from your comments. Your partner has PTSD from an assault when they were younger, and they would likely get triggered weekly here. I highly suggest you look in the area around ACB, Max’s, and the Schoolhouse apartments if you want to be in Deutschtown. Or look at the Mexican War Streets and Allegheny West if you just want to be in the North Side.

Another good guy with a gun, FOILED! I'm sure he, like all responsible law-abiding Good Guys With Guns™️, had nothing but peaceful intentions with those multiple guns. That's why they call it the amendment of peace, it's all about maintaining nonviolence, one bullet at a time. This guy could have committed 67 nonviolences with all those bullets. What a patriot o7

Let me put it this way ...I have to be cognizant of what I'm wearing when I have errands to run on East Ohio Street. Catcalling there is fairly rampant. Your girlfriend would feel safer in another neighborhood.
