Nancy's in Wilkinsburg or GTFO.

Back before we were married, they were just getting these set up. Might be worth a look:

People driving like assholes have only themselves to blame. No one accepts "I had to get to work on time" as an excuse for anything.

Don't bother trying to engage. Corncob is an all or nothing "fuck 'em if they need help" yinzer with their racism hanging out.

This happens pretty regularly in East McKeesport, on Route 30, right across from the GetGo. Police cars will sit in the any of the lots on the side of the highway, just waiting for a bus to stop at the GetGo during a green light, and pull over a whole line of cars who pass it.

A few years ago, I saw it being done intentionally, with an empty bus. THAT'S the kind of police action I can get behind.

So the solution for kids who aren't being educated is to... refuse to educate them?

And we do have neighborhood schools. That's what Allderdice is. It's a public school. If you live in the neighborhood, you go to that school. Same thing with Mount Lebanon. Students who go to Allderdice are a part of the community already.

I know, right?

The entirety of Western Pennsylvania has been undermined. Telling people to reconsider living here because of mines is like asking people to reconsider their relationship with water and oxygen.

Do I need to wear body armor like everyone is suggesting? I'll grab some around the corner after I'm done at the juice bar and shoe store.

lol it only took until Tuesday to get a Tough Guy Invite this week!

No one is avoiding a martial arts school that's been in the area for 40 years because one time kids went inside and made him look like a dummy.

Sounds like you should call the police, then, since you've positively identified criminals.

Sorry to break it to you, but there's no rule that says 30-50 people aren't allowed to be in public without your express permission. Even if they're teens!

>They damaged his property, raped another student nearby, 5 boys entered his karate student and challenged him to a fight

You sure those were all the same people? Clutch those pearls a little tighter. Squirrel Hill isn't turning into 1980s-era Compton.

The same kids who are out front of the karate place raped a student?

Also, it's real weird that the argument seems to be whether or not this person offended Black people or Jews, and not "Maybe don't call a place a ghetto just because you feel like the neighborhood has the "wrong" people in it."

I don't think it's outrageous to expect that a business owner maybe understand the area where his business is located and not put his foot in his mouth by using a term that, at best, has racist connotations, and at worst, is the exact name that the people who didn't like Jews came up with to describe the place where they deserved to live.

Yeah, you don't get to casually use the word "ghetto" when you are located in the actual Jewish center of the city. Sensei George should take a lesson in "reading the room."

Well, what exactly are you expecting to change? If there's no businesses or people living there, then I don't see a lot of opportunity for anything to happen, right?

White guy running a business and doesn't like the neighborhood it's in or the people who are nearby? Sure, let's call it a ghetto! He's not racist, we swear! He has a Black friend!

>I’m just trying to avoid Party City and shop more locally or DIY-friendly.

No, you're not. You already said places in Lawrenceville were too expensive. You want cheap helium balloons.

​

>Inflated with helium? Which dollar store?

ahem

>I’d love to support one of the local shops in Lawrenceville but

Next time, when you've got "Best" in your title and you follow it with the above, just say "cheapest" and save everyone the trouble.

At least we still inspect our vehicles!

Then go back? No one's keeping you.

My nonexistent electric bill for half the year says otherwise, but you can believe what you want.

omg no it isn't.
