I moved from the heart of squirrel hill to squirrel hill south (which kinda feels like greenfield)

Squirrel hill is about a 20 minute walk now, so it really did kill walkability. But, it’s nice being able to get to the waterfront or squirrel hill proper in 5 minutes (car) and being right off the parkway, so when I do go to the office, it takes 12-15 minutes.

But right, not much going on around the area. The greenfield pool is a solid city pool, but other than that, the biggest perk is proximity to other places via car

Pros: close to the city, the Parkway East, Schenley Park, universities, tons of good food places in nearby neighborhoods.

Cons: fewer local businesses than other neighborhoods, prices can vary depending on which part of Greenfield, normal city things like houses being old or close together

It really depends on where you buy. Lately, I see a lot more doctors or nurses buying in Greenfield due to close access to so many hospitals, and that seems to be helping drive up prices.

Cops can do whatever they want and arrest you, but I bet you could get out of that one in court.

Idk about you guys. But it’s nice to see kids off the VIDEO GAMES and back outside exploring and playing like the good ole days!

Banger. Beautiful painting.

Ah, I did not know it had a name

It’s not as affordable as it used to be.

Lived there during Covid. Keep looking at apartments and other rentals and yeah, unless it’s total crap it’s not as affordable anymore.

PWSA

We know Sharon owns Mary’s. That was established years ago. The rumor part was graveyard grille. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.

This is either a pro or a con, but neighborhoods like Greenfield have a lot of cranky yinzers who haven't moved for in some cases generations.

Parts of Greenfield away from Murray and Greenfield Ave can feel very isolated and not very walkable.

The housing stock is very hit or miss and could be a victim of deferred maintenance.

All that being said, as someone who has spent a lot of time in both Greenfield and Shadyside, I would be happy to live there.

Really nice. I love watercolor.

>the city mistakenly issued a permit.

Well, that tracks. sigh...

If you unlocked the car and left your keys hidden outside but slept in there would you be ok?

The change in the cheese sticks is inexcusable.

FWIW I think he's more of a minor financial backer than a co-owner.

"Under the ownership of operations manager Grace Emmerling and her partner, local DJ Jeff VanFossan"

​

"Emmerling says they turned to family members and out-of-state investors – who she calls “minority shareholders" – to help them buy the property. However, Emmerling stresses that she and VanFossan are in total control of the operations."

and I think one or both of the actual co-owners are vegan, because Mixtape is sticking to vegan options and last time I visited Slanted & Enchanted during a First Friday, someone there told me it's going to include a vegan restaurant.

Oh i remember that one, to this day that makes my blood boil.

Edit: oh yeah that’s good old paul, he made the rounds a few summers ago. What a great person to be representing our city!!!

The world is becoming like that Mike Judge movie Idiocracy more and more each day.

It was the best. They made their own clotted cream.

I’m convinced Nextdoor is a social experiment

A Pittsburgh cop left a bar in 2008 shitfaced, and pistolwhipped / shot a random guy on the street over some sort of perceived disrespect.

They're a state-sanctioned street gang that gets paid via your taxes.

If the weather is nice I recommend renting bikes and taking then around the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. You can either rent one of the Pogoh bikes or from somewhere like Golden Triangle Bike Rentals. On the trail I would definitely go to point state park, around the north shore and through the strip district. Those call all be done in an hour or two on bikes if you don't stop.

Otherwise Oakland is great, with the cathedral of learning and the campus feel. Lawrenceville is also a great spot to walk the 20 or so blocks along Bulter St and stop at the overwhelming amount of bars, restaurants and shops

Again, non violent.

>would like to have a bit less of a "city" living feel.

>having "things" to do

Greenfield is close to things by car I guess, but there isn't a whole lot of "things" to do there. Getting less "city" than Shadyside is probably going to reduce the amount of "things" to do pretty significantly. Not talking shit on Greenfield because it's a nice place and convenient/affordable... just not sure what your priorities are.

Is there a business idea in here somewhere? Like a restaurant/diner that serves all the things pittsburghers remember at a decent price no frills not some yuppie bullshit catering to loft people but just a straight up good diner with kings eatnpark etc good stuff?

I love this!
