Yes. Poison control sent me a whole bunch when I called them recently.

My pediatrician was the creator of Mr. Yuk!

St Albert the Great in Baldwin. Delicious fish, great prices, fast service, and they've always had beer.

I agree but those things all already exist. The rail network is not extensive enough to be an alternative and suggesting this is the same as a bus is missing the point that it's autonomous, it's like saying "how is this different from regular trucks?"

The toxins are going to be diluted over such a wide area that only a small five mile radius around the crash will be affected. It’s not like accidents like this have never happened before and we have a general idea what the impact will be. Compared to fracking, and the plastics factory in beaver, the toxins from t accident will be diluted below the background levels of pollution in the air every day.

I feel like the campaign where mr yuk was explained to kids is less abundant. I heard about it in school, church, PALS, etc

I dunno about the opposite, but it's for-sure not a bodega and it would never claim to be one. OP seems to be looking for any and all local, independent grocery stores, though.

That is because the well maintained properties are going for far more.

Checkout Etsy! I just got a pair of Mr Yuk earrings from there and it looks like there’s a few shirts/ sweatshirts available too

What about the Zamboni?

Food Shoppe on Northumberland in Squirrel Hill. (It's gone by a few other names over the years.)

In WI we had to call the poison control center and they'd mail them to us

Rib Room downtown has it

Cafe, Fat Head's, La Palapa, Hof 😎 I think that's a good spread. Also, Library recently reopened. Have not been back yet.

But the thing is, the co-op isn't a bodega. Considering the demographics for the area it's located, it's almost exactly the opposite.

And the pandemic has increase the "haul culture" tremendously. We've learned over a two year period to buy extra because it may be out of stock next time, and also avoid having to go into a crowded store so often.

>these places are thriving in places less dense and more impoverished than Pittsburgh

The traditional food stores (supermarkets, chain convenience stores) tend to avoid impoverished areas, so the local bodegas there face less competition. And lower income folks are less likely to be able to travel to a full service grocery store. (no car, poor public transit). The lower density areas also tend to have less public transit options.

Maybe these are some of the reasons they are thriving in the cities you mentioned? In addition to the reasons I mentioned previously?

Right?? It was literally the first place my partner and I got takeout when we moved to PGH last January. It remains one of our favorites. Every single thing I've ever gotten there - except for one - has been delicious. As for that one exception, it was stinky tofu. There's a reason it says "no refunds" for that item on the menu, haha. I'm a pretty adventurous eater as a rule. I got the stinky tofu - which is aptly named - past my nose and into my mouth. I chewed. I gagged. I tried to continue chewing. I gagged some more and finally had to admit defeat and spit it out. I'm sure it's a great rendition of the dish, it just tested the limits of my western palate. X-D

and I had no idea it was a national thing. the stickers were handed out in schools when I was a kid, they were on our trapper keepers and all.

I don't know why the rumor keeps going around and around, but there is no deal, no contract, no handshake agreement, nothing that keeps Wegmans from coming into Pittsburgh (or for GE to expand elsewhere). There never has been one.

The reason Wegmans doesn't enter the Pittsburgh market is that they want their individual stores to be within 4 hours of their distribution centers OR clustered in a group of about 5 stores. Erie's two stores are a little more than 2 1/2 hours from Rochester's distribution center. North Carolina and Boston's stores are clustered. Yes, Virginia Beach is an outlier.

In order for it to make sense, Wegmans would need to open 3-5 stores in quick succession in this area to make the logistics work and be worthwhile. Wegmans only opens about 5 stores or less a year so Pittsburgh would be a full commitment. In the early 2010's Wegmans did scout out possible community locations that would make sense for their logistics (Cranberry/Robinson/Southpoint served from Rochester along I-79, or Monroeville/Hampton/Cranberry served from Pottsville along the Tpk).

Obviously, nothing came from that and I don't believe it will anytime soon. There's no indication they are expanding in this direction but the reasons for that aren't a handshake deal.

Lol the dare program is a large part of what made me want to try more than just pot

well idk kids have kinda been a bunch of lobotomized bubblekids with helicopter parents past couple gens, it’s nice to see a return to semi suicidal social activities
