Get some kick ass shots of trains going across the bridge there.

The East Busway before COVID was pretty much at-capacity and seems to be back to if not past that point now. The most practical thing they could do is convert the busway to light rail (there are even tracks that terminate at Penn Station and connect to Steel Plaza that were built for this exact purpose) but given the staunch anti-rail attitude at PRT we'll probably never see that happen.

Charlotte too surprisingly

Good. Now keep the pressure on PRT to quit worsening service under the guise of BRT "improvements" and maybe actually make an effort to noticeably improve transit in the region. When NEXTransit was underway the planners called it a chance for Pittsburgh to have "world-class transit"...cutting service to some of the most underprivileged communities and calling a few cans of red paint "rapid transit" is not "world-class" to me.

I think our restaurants are good but as a middle aged Yinzer, no one does dive bars better than the Burgh

It's been noted that this region has an unusual concentration of pizza places. While there's no shortage of locally owned eateries, it just seems like so many of them fall into the pizza category, particularly in the suburbs.

Could stand to see a bit more variety in the locally owned restaurants.

That's where I'm meeting up with my buddies when the storm is coming.

Also catching at Homewood Station, hard agree

Station Square is the city right? It has Hard Rock, Joe’s Crab Shack, and a few others., but it is out of the way over there. And Bar Louie and maybe something else by the stadiums? There aren’t too many, I definitely wouldn’t consider it a chain restaurant city.

are you serious right now?

burgh, sixburgh, pitt, iron city, city of bridges, the 412, city of champions, steel city, footbal city with a drinking problem, blitzburgh....

youre a true jagoff for making that comment, oh no, i used shorthand while typing on a phone

EverClean Extra Strength Unscented is what our vet recommended when our adopted, more senior cat was doing the same thing.

I’ll say that quantity is as important as quality here in most places.

TIL there's a lawyer with the last name BOOTAY.

We retained Bootay & Bevington and they were fantastic. Worth a call for sure.

Two Five guys, only a surprisingly few McDonald’s really. One Boston market. Maybe three burger kings? A handful of Wendy’s, Ruth’s Chris downtown, maybe three arbys, Choolah is a chain but small one. One Applebees right at the city limits near Edgewood. What else?

There used to be a KtacoHut (kfc Taco Bell and Pizza Hut combo) in Oakland- at least in the early 2000s when I went to Pitt. It was disgusting 😆

Yes.

<3 mint and garlic chives would be lovely if you have spare!

As someone who recently moved to Pittsburgh from Columbus - this is spot on. One thing I'm absolutely flummoxed by is there being no Taco Bell near Pitt/CMU. Have to imagine a Taco Bell Cantina would do numbers...

No it is not.

I come from Florida, land of the nationwide chains. Pittsburgh chains will have like, three Pittsburgh locations and maybe a random Ohio city.

Ryan?

It’s Pittsburgh. Pitt is the school

Huh. Are they good? For subs, we really have had to rely on foreign chains since Uncle Sam's closed.
