Oh you wanted me to include a source that was created at 3:51pm when I posted at 3:30pm?
Next time I'll consult my personal soothsayer for you

It’s also an attempt to bring a large scale music festival to the city which is good for tourism, engagement of the young professionals Pittsburgh sometimes struggles to retain, and pretty exciting no matter how you paint it. Although I agree with it potentially being logistical nightmare and a public park, I think that’s unfortunately what comes with these things (ie Lollapalooza in Chicago). But it’s an awesome step in the right direction in my opinion and there’ll only lessons to learn from it.
I’m assuming Tull is behind this, which if (and only if) he can use his powers for good, I’m all for it.

It's mckees rocks. Nothing ever changes down there.
What show are you seeing?
Skinny puppy and sunny day real estate are each coming in April, which was my college experience wrapped up in 2 very different bands.

Then you need something to transport it and somewhere to dispose of it. They should just dump it on the owner’s property and send him a bill!

If I was young and single, I would consider it.
I might talk to my nephew about it, though. He is 19 and college wasn't for him (he went one semester). He likes working in a warehouse and the hours are good (M-F 7:30am-4:00 pm). I might ask him about the railroad, though.
Thank you.

I believe it can be pigeonholed as "Adult Contemporary"

If it was such a slam dunk, why would the government permit a settlement?

Yep, I'm with ya. Hozier and Mraz do absolutely nothing for me, but as a YEP listener I know and love lots of the bands in the smaller fonts.
Wonder if I could come in the mansion side just to "walk my dogs" and hit the back trails for a few hours and get some second-hand music wafting my way?

Multitude of factors...
Mostly the whole lockdown and (ever so popular these days) price gouging. $25 to park is insane. The small side lot will be full by 10am I would bet and the school lot will be closed so that will not be an option. If I want a PB&J and a bottle of water I will have to walk to my car to save $20 on linner (lunch dinner). Then either have to get a dog sitter or run home mid-day to let my dogs out and feed them. The whole "Law enforcement will be on site..." statement makes me queasy too. The County Mounties are at every show there but they never boast it or bother anyone unless it is merited.
I've seen Michigander several times and would love to see him again, and we have been dying to see Coin for the first time also... but I'm not sure those two are worth the ticket price and the hassle. Our tickets to Peachfest were a little more than this and that is an insane lineup spanning 4 days.

Thank you for this. I saw a couple threads from 1-3 years ago asking this same question, but figured the area/parking situation may have changed since then. Good to see it hasn't lol

Not a cop. Just an admirer of Henry Frick and a person who believes in private property rights and law and order.

A lot of it depends on where your house is compared to the path of water. I have been in lots of 40s-50s houses with wet basements. Probably more than 75% of the ones I go in have some moisture. Drainage tile was still kind of new then, and lots of it has failed. It wasn't until you got into the 60s and 70s that homes seem to have gotten a lot dryer in general. The post-war era was really just the beginning of standards in the building industry so there is a lot of variance.

100 year old house gang here, with a dry basement. Basements are not supposed to have water in them.

You obviously don't have experience with juries of your peers. The vast majority are of lower income (and usually lower intelligence). It makes them feel important to give away money that is not theirs. They almost always sympathize with anyone who is suing a corporation of someone else with deep pockets. You can only exclude/strike so many jurors from a trial. A majority of those on a jury like this will be people with an axe to grind and who have nothing better to do (ie. retired, not working, etc).
They see no problem with handing out ridiculous jury awards to people.
When ambulance chasers want to certify a class action, they engage in something called Docket Shopping. They find one "victim" in some bumf--k West Virginia county and file the suit on that person's behalf in that county. All other "victims" nationwide are then added to that class, which will go to trial in that county.
Naturally, those with deep pockets will settle, as some county juries routinely award $100 million here, $300 million there.

I think there should be a special permit for short term rentals, all of them should be on a publicly viewable list and there should be a mechanism for reporting violations and complaints that can result in the permit being taken away.

Fairly appropriate.
If you look to have a perimeter drain put in, I have used the companies below previously and you can take my comments however you want. Always talk to at least 3 companies around here, 5 is better. I have fixed water issues from things as simple as running all downspouts to the low-grade end of the house to $20k repairs. You would be amazed at the # of options you can get.
>Bakers: Good work, not horrible pricing
>Keystone: The most expensive you will find
>Basement Guys: Decent price, decent work
>Advanced: Decent price, decent work
>Premiere: Good pricing, questionable work
