They're usually only common in June and July, but I saw a good bit in Pittsburgh this year too

Very true

It's pretty sad. 15 years ago, it was a solid option.

You moved out of PA, so it's not your choice or business anymore.

If you are changing your mind of who you're going to vote for in the Senate race after last night's debate, don't complain on here when Joe Biden is not able to get any of his nominations for the executive branch or judicial nominees through the Senate if Cocaine Mitch becomes the leader the Senate again because Oz won.

Yes, every media market in the state is having one network affiliate broadcast the debate.

The City of Pittsburgh? The Waterworks Mall is part of the city.

I've been in a Meijer once, and it was definitely way larger than what the soon to be vacant space in the Waterworks offers. I didn't realize they were now in Youngstown and so close to Pennsylvania. Though I guess if BJ's found two places to put their large warehouse stores this year, so could Meijer.

Def one of the worst.

Hopefully that mall is slightly less of a zoo this holiday season without Walmart there.

Amazing throwback find

At least there's Marshalls, Ross, and TJ Maxx for clothes at a decent price. I agree though that the prices at Market District are obscene for even basic goods compared to Walmart

I vaguely remember that place, not as well as Hills though.

I loved that place as a kid! It's a shame mid-sized regional discount chains like that don't really exist anymore.

I'm old enough to remember when it was. These days, Walmart prefers Supercenters or their Neighborhood format places over spaces of this size in the middle too.

Target knows how to do a nicer shopping experience

Fun fact: according to wikipedia, a few days ago on October 19th was the 20th anniversary of Ames shutting down all of its stores.

It's crazy to think of but when I was born in the early 90s, Walmart wasn't even in Pittsburgh and was barely in the Northeast before its presence exploded throughout the 90s and early 2000s. I'm old enough to remember when it was Kmart, Hills, and Ames for the discount chains of choice here.

I remember a lot of people hated how it was inside from the day it opened.

I believe only the 1 goes out to that Target, so those in the city who would have taken the 91 or 75 would have to transfer to get out to that Target.

Thought so. They've been there forever

Eh, that building is way too large for an Aldi.

I remember not everyone was thrilled in that area about a Walmart being next door when it opened.

Neither of those would be a bad idea

I wouldn't expect anything big from what I've heard. They'll just send any unsold inventory to other nearby stores.
