Make sure you waft the spicy stuff. I maced myself doing that once (not the actual nutmeg mace).

I live in San Diego now, but moved from Pittsburgh. I'd say houses in Pittsburgh tend to be mostly large houses. Here you will pay $900K for a 1200 sq ft. house in a decent neighborhood where as in Pittsburgh in the best neighborhoods that's likely going to be be around $400K-$500K. The best neighborhoods in San Diego (typically pretty close to the ocean) tend to be $2+ million.

That’s so cool!! 🥰

Buy them online, seriously. You can get it fresh no problem. I buy spices by the pound online like three times a year, then I split them, vacuum pack them, and freeze them. When you need more you just grab a frozen pack and refill your bottle. It works great and saves money.

Salem’s is planning to open a store at that site sometime this year.

Yep! The City Paper had a brief mention in July, following the opening of Target.

hey! i too lived on the eastern shore before moving to Pittsburgh. my partner and I own a house in brighton heights. it's been very affordable for us but we also bought in late 2019 before housing prices went nuts.

Dormont has excellent public transportation, and is walkable

100% better than an abandoned building.

When I first moved to Pittsburgh I got a second job as seasonal help there (Christmas 1999). On my first shift, someone dropped me off in front of some shirts and said "straighten this up" and then they left me there with nothing to do for the rest of the night.

I asked every employee who came by what else I could do and they always said they'd ask but I don't think I ever saw the same person twice. After 3 hours of boredom I decided it wasn't worth it and just went home, then I dodged their calls for a week when they tried to schedule me for more shifts.

> Kuhn's is a no frills 1990 shopping experience

1990? The one in Bellevue always plays music from the 50s and 60s. Not sure if they're all like that.

As someone who has been actively looking for other states to live in, pittaburgh is still one of the most affordable major cities.

Cobra - looks like they still have reservations today except not until 9pm

Five below is coming downtown? Makes me want to actually cross a bridge

Place on Freedom Cider road. good food in the restaurant up top. at least used to be

Ok, so it was a Shop and Save. That's what I was referring to but for some reason though it was a discount grocery

This place smells like a gym locker room.

Right on. I always assumed the N. Side Giant Eagle was the downtown grocery support.

This is the correct answer. You will pay so much less for spices and you can buy in small quantities that actually match what you can use up before it gets old and flavorless.

Thank you! Amazing how difficult some folks find that

I agree with you 100%. I miss the days of roaming the floors and finding bargains. The holiday decor excitement.

Yes. But it also depends on where you're coming from. But it is not as cheap as real estate agents, developers and some news outlets claim it to be. Unless, of course, you're becoming the CEO of one of the companies here! Then you're good!
